    139 A Suspected Case of Stock Poisoning by Wild Onion (Allium Canadense.)^ F. J. PiPAL, Purdue University. On June 23, 1917, a case of live-stock poisoning had been reported by Mr. William Feldt, living about live and one-half miles southeast of Lafayette. Dr. G. M. Funkhouser, of Lafayette, who investigated the case, reported, in substance, the following facts: Five cows and one heifer were taken from a timothy pasture, which was rather dry and short at that time, and turned into a woods pasture on Sunday morning. In the evening of the same day, only four cows and the heifer returned from the pasture to the farm barnyard. The fifth cow was found in the pasture lying down and unable to get up. When the cows were milked it was noticed, with one exception, that the milk emitted a very strong and offensive odor and had considerably decreased in quantity. The breath of the cows was also strongly tainted with this odor and, in fact, it seemed that their whole bodies exhaled it. On the following morning the doctor found the cow left in the pasture in a complete paralytic condition, her temperature, however, being quite normal; she died two days later. One of the cows in the barnyard was, by this time, in a similar condition and died the same day. One of the remaining three cows stood with her head erect, the hair bristling, and refused to move. Another had a tendency to draw her head to one side and when compelled to move went around in a circle and fell down.

  • BEDRI KARAKAS the Role of Sorbitol Synthesis in Photosynthesis of Peach (Prunus Persica) (Under the Direction of MARK W
    BEDRI KARAKAS The role of sorbitol synthesis in photosynthesis of peach (Prunus persica) (Under the Direction of MARK W. RIEGER) This dissertation examines the hypothesis that polyol synthesis enhances photosynthetic capacity in peach and related species. Members of Prunus synthesize, translocate, and utilize sorbitol as their main photosynthetic end product whereas most other plants utilize sucrose for those purposes. First, I approached this hypothesis by examining eight genetically diverse Prunus species with various sorbitol: sucrose ratios and activities of sorbitol-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (S6PDH), principal sorbitol synthesis enzyme. Leaf photosynthetic capabilities (A), in vitro activity of the S6PDH and sorbitol contents of greenhouse grown plants were measured. I found an inverse relation between A and S6PDH activity of the species. This observation does not support the working hypothesis and that sorbitol synthesis enhances A. Second, I used two peach varieties (i.e., Encore and Nemaguard) to examine the same hypothesis within a single species by source/sink manipulations (i.e., fruiting versus non-fruiting, fruit present versus fruit removed, and shoot tip removal) and existing natural variation (i.e., leaf node position). In all cases, except fruiting versus non-fruiting and fruit present, photosynthesis and S6PDH enzyme activity showed positive correlations. Finally, I analyzed the response of S6PDH gene to shoot tip removal treatment in connection with S6PDH activity and A in potted Nemaguard peach plants. To document hourly changes, leaves were sampled three times during the day (i.e., sunrise, midday, and sunset) and analyzed for S6PDH gene expression and S6PDH activity. Sorbitol-6-phosphate dehydrogenase mRNA transcript levels significantly increased while S6PDH activity decreased 24-hour following shoot tip removal.

Its fruit and leaves exhibit antioxidant, antibacterial and antifungal properties, and are used for their content of essential oils and for their medicinal properties, but most commonly as an ingredient in locally made liquor. The uncontrolled exploitation of natural stands has reduced both the species' geographical coverage and the size of individual populations. The selection of genotypes for controlled cultivation requires a characterization of the genetic diversity present both within and between populations. Results: Genotypic variation was evaluated using ISSR profiling and genetic diversity characterized using standard population genetics approaches. Two major clusters were identified: one capturing all the candidate cultivars selected from various Sardinian localities, and the other wild individuals collected from Asinara, Corsica and Surigheddu. A moderate level of gene flow between the Sardinian and Corsican populations was identified. Discriminant analysis of principal components revealed a level of separation among the wild populations, confirming the population structure identified by the clustering methods.
