Protein ingredients are one of the most expensive inputs even though they are not included in large quantities as compared to cereals. Monogastric animal industries are faced with a major problem of limited protein sources, moreover, the competition for plant materials is expected to further increase feed prices. Therefore, to tackle this problem, interventions are required to find alternative and cost-effective protein sources. One identified crop that meets these requirements is amaranth. Studies have shown the potential and contribution that amaranth has as an alternative ingredient in diets for monogastric animals. Therefore, the main purpose of this review is to provide a detailed understanding of the potential use of amaranth as feed for monogastric animals, and further indicate processing techniques are suitable to improve the utilization of grain amaranth and leaves.

For those of whom I am unable to personally thank here, know that I deeply appreciate your support. First and foremost, I want to thank my chair Michael Glassow for his patience, enthusiasm, and encouragement during all aspects of this daunting project. I am also truly grateful to have had the opportunity to know, learn from, and work with my other committee members, Mike Jochim, Amber VanDerwarker, and Lynn Gamble. I cherish my various field experiences with them all on the Channel Islands and especially in southern Germany with Mike Jochim, whose worldly perspective I value deeply. I also thank Terry Jones, who provided me many undergraduate opportunities in California archaeology and encouraged me to attend a field school on San Clemente Island with Mark Raab and Andy Yatsko, an experience that left me captivated with the islands and their history.

  • Comandra Blister Rust Mary W
    ARIZONA COOPERATIVE E TENSION AZ1310 May, 2009 Comandra Blister Rust Mary W. Olsen Comandra blister rust is a native disease in Arizona on ponderosa pine. It also occurs on Mondell pine, a pine species introduced for landscapes and Christmas tree production in Arizona. Comandra blister rust can cause death of ponderosa saplings, but it is not an important disease of mature ponderosa trees. However, infections kill Mondell pine, and they should not be planted within a mile of Comandra. The alternate host for the rust is Comandra pallida, for which the disease is named. Comandra pallida, commonly called bastard toadflax, is a small herbaceous perennial plant found in close association with oak. It has small light pink flowers in terminal clusters and nutlike fruit. It is found throughout Arizona at elevations of 4,000- 8,000 ft. Pathogen: Comandra blister rust, Cronartium comandrae Hosts: Pinus eldarica (Mondell pine, Afghan pine), Pinus ponderosa (ponderosa pine) and Comandra pallida, bastard toadflax Symptoms/signs: Comandra blister rust on Mondell pine. On Mondell pine, Comandra blister rust causes branch dieback and death of trees of all ages. Swollen areas produced on the alternate host, Comandra. These are develop in branches and trunks, and the bark and delicate spores that can travel in air currents only about underlying sapwood die. On pine, orange “blisters” one mile. During the first year, the fungus becomes develop on trunks and branches as the bark splits and established in pine bark, and swollen areas with fruiting ruptures. Infections on Comandra, the alternate host, structures (spermagonia) develop in branches and appear as orange or rusty colored pustules on leaves trunks.

    IN MEMORIAM: DONALD J. PINKAVA (29 AUGUST 1933–25 JULY 2017) Liz Makings Herbarium (ASU), School of Life Sciences Arizona State University, P.O. Box 874108 Tempe, Arizona 85287-4108, U.S.A. [email protected] My name is Liz Makings and I am the collections manager of the Arizona State University Herbarium. I was a graduate student at ASU in 2000 when I met Dr. Pinkava and he had just retired, so while I missed out on his talents as a teacher, I was lucky to get to know him as a mentor, colleague, and friend. Dr. Pinkava had a heart of gold, a mind like a trap, and a delightful collection of idiosyncrasies that was perfectly suited to his career path. He was hired at ASU in 1964 after completing his PhD. at Ohio State and was immediately responsible for teaching a 300 level botany class called “Flora of Arizona.” He undertook this responsibility with a meticulousness and attention to detail that can only be described as “Pinkavesque,” col- lecting the plants, learning the flora, and scouring the state for the best field trip sites. To his students he was simultaneously feared and adored. His exams turned men into boys and triggered anxiety attacks even among the best. He did not give grades, you earned them. There was no one more demanding, no one more thorough, yet no one more caring and helpful. Many former students have sung his praises and I’ll share this quote from one: “Dr. Pinkava was one of the kindest scientists I have ever interacted with, a trait that sometimes goes missing in our academic world.

  • Congolius, a New Genus of African Reed Frog Endemic to The
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Congolius, a new genus of African reed frog endemic to the central Congo: A potential case of convergent evolution Tadeáš Nečas1,2*, Gabriel Badjedjea3, Michal Vopálenský4 & Václav Gvoždík1,5* The reed frog genus Hyperolius (Afrobatrachia, Hyperoliidae) is a speciose genus containing over 140 species of mostly small to medium-sized frogs distributed in sub-Saharan Africa. Its high level of colour polymorphism, together with in anurans relatively rare sexual dichromatism, make systematic studies more difcult. As a result, the knowledge of the diversity and taxonomy of this genus is still limited. Hyperolius robustus known only from a handful of localities in rain forests of the central Congo Basin is one of the least known species. Here, we have used molecular methods for the frst time to study the phylogenetic position of this taxon, accompanied by an analysis of phenotype based on external (morphometric) and internal (osteological) morphological characters. Our phylogenetic results undoubtedly placed H. robustus out of Hyperolius into a common clade with sympatric Cryptothylax and West African Morerella. To prevent the uncovered paraphyly, we place H. robustus into a new genus, Congolius. The review of all available data suggests that the new genus is endemic to the central Congolian lowland rain forests. The analysis of phenotype underlined morphological similarity of the new genus to some Hyperolius species. This uniformity of body shape (including cranial shape) indicates that the two genera have either retained ancestral morphology or evolved through convergent evolution under similar ecological pressures in the African rain forests. African reed frogs, Hyperoliidae Laurent, 1943, are presently encompassing almost 230 species in 17 genera.
