Another aim is to get familiar with the basic processes of making a game. By the end of the study, all the research objectives were achieved. In this study, the researcher firstly studied the theoretical frameworks of game engine and mainly focused on the Unity3D game engine. Then the theoretical knowledge was applied into practice. The project conducted during the research is to generate an endless running game, which allows the players getting points by keep moving on the ground and colleting coins that appeared during the game. In addition, the players need to dodge the enemies and pay attention to the gaps emerged on the ground. The outcomes of the study have accomplished the research purposes. The game created is able to function well during the gameplay as the researcher expected. All functions have displayed in game.

Who knew then that we were only months away from a global pandemic that would disrupt everything we thought of as normal, and that the ensuing shutdown would cause such increased interest in gardening? This past year has been a rollercoaster ride for all of us in the nursery and landscape trades. The demand for plants so exceeded the supply that it caused major plant availability shortages, and then the freeze in Texas further exacerbated this situation. To ensure that our customers came first, we did not sell any plants out-of-state, and we continue to work hard to refill the empty spaces left in our field. In the chaos of the situation, we also decided not to produce a 2020 catalog, and this current catalog is coming out so late that we intend it to be a two-year edition. Some items listed may not be available until early next year, so we encourage customers to look to our website Primelist which is updated weekly to view our current availability. As in the past, we continue to grow the many tried-and-true favorite plants that have proven themselves in our warming mediterranean climate. We have also added 245 exciting new plants that are listed in the back of this catalog. With sincere appreciation to all our customers, it is our hope that 2021 and 2022 will be excellent years for horticulture!

    Evolutionary Routes to Biochemical Innovation Revealed by Integrative

    RESEARCH ARTICLE Evolutionary routes to biochemical innovation revealed by integrative analysis of a plant-defense related specialized metabolic pathway Gaurav D Moghe1†, Bryan J Leong1,2, Steven M Hurney1,3, A Daniel Jones1,3, Robert L Last1,2* 1Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, United States; 2Department of Plant Biology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, United States; 3Department of Chemistry, Michigan State University, East Lansing, United States Abstract The diversity of life on Earth is a result of continual innovations in molecular networks influencing morphology and physiology. Plant specialized metabolism produces hundreds of thousands of compounds, offering striking examples of these innovations. To understand how this novelty is generated, we investigated the evolution of the Solanaceae family-specific, trichome- localized acylsugar biosynthetic pathway using a combination of mass spectrometry, RNA-seq, enzyme assays, RNAi and phylogenomics in different non-model species. Our results reveal hundreds of acylsugars produced across the Solanaceae family and even within a single plant, built on simple sugar cores. The relatively short biosynthetic pathway experienced repeated cycles of *For correspondence: [email protected] innovation over the last 100 million years that include gene duplication and divergence, gene loss, evolution of substrate preference and promiscuity.

    Scientific Opinion on the Assessment of the Risk of Solanaceous Pospiviroids for the EU Territory and the Identification and Evaluation of Risk Management Options1

    EFSA Journal 2011;9(8):2330 SCIENTIFIC OPINION Scientific Opinion on the assessment of the risk of solanaceous pospiviroids for the EU territory and the identification and evaluation of risk 1 management options EFSA Panel on Plant Health (PLH)2, 3 European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), Parma, Italy ABSTRACT Following a request from the EU Commission, the EFSA PLH Panel conducted a risk assessment for the EU territory of pospiviroids affecting solanaceous crops, identified and evaluated risk reduction options and evaluated the EU provisional emergency measures targeting Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd). The risk assessment included PSTVd, Citrus exocortis viroid, Columnea latent viroid, Mexican papita viroid, Tomato apical stunt viroid, Tomato chlorotic dwarf viroid, Tomato planta macho viroid, Chrysanthemum stunt viroid and Pepper chat fruit viroid. Four entry pathways were identified, three involving plant propagation material, with moderate probability of entry, and one involving plant products for human consumption, with low probability of entry. The probability of establishment was considered very high. Spread was considered likely within a crop and moderately likely between crop species, with exception of spread to potato, rated as unlikely. The probability of long distance spread within vegetatively propagated crops was estimated as likely/very likely. The direct consequences were expected to be major in potato and tomato, moderate in pepper, minimal/minor in other vegetables and minimal in ornamentals. Main risk assessment uncertainties derive from limited knowledge on pospiviroids other than PSTVd, although all pospiviroids are expected to have similar biological properties. Management options to reduce risk of entry, spread and consequences were identified and evaluated.

This dissertation could not have been completed without the great support that I have received from so many people over the years. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my mentors, Snježana Mihaljević from the Ruđer Bošković Institute, Zagreb and César Llave Correas from the Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas, Madrid who have accepted me to their research groups and whose invaluable contributions have helped accomplishing this work. The knowledge I gained from them is something that will stay with me for a lifetime and benefit me greatly in my future career. Further, I would like to thank the Croatian Ministry of Agriculture and the CCAFRA – Institute for Plant Protection, Zagreb for financial support with a project funding. I also wish to express my appreciation to my former colleagues and coordinators, Vesna Kajić under whose guidance I had commenced this project and Irena Gregurec–Tomiša for leading phytosanitary field surveys.
