In this current research, we have focused on the molecular and physiological basis of root system variation in canola (Brassica napus L.). Genome wide association mappings in a diverse canola germplasm panel with ~37,500 and ~30,200 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers were conducted under greenhouse and field conditions, respectively. A total of 52 significant SNP markers associated with different root architectural traits were identified in the greenhouse study. Majority of the markers were distributed on five chromosomes, A01, A02, A04, C03 and C06, of B. napus. Twenty-two candidate genes related to root growth and development were detected within 50 kbp upstream and downstream of the significant markers.

  • How Rapeseed and Soy Biodiesel Drive Oil Palm Expansion
    www.theicct.org BRIEFING JULY 2017 How rapeseed and soy biodiesel drive oil palm expansion This briefing paper reviews a recent study by Santeramo (2017) estimating the degree of substitution between various oils and fats and explains what its results mean for the greenhouse gas performance of biodiesel. Santeramo (2017) finds that an increase in the price of rapeseed oil in the European Union (EU) and of soybean oil in the United States (U.S.) both lead to increased palm oil imports to those regions. These results are important because they indicate that rapeseed biodiesel production in the EU and soybean oil production in the U.S. will contribute to high land use change emissions associated with oil palm expansion. This effect limits – or even reverses – the climate benefits of policies supporting food-based biodiesel. BIOFUELS, LAND USE CHANGE, AND PALM OIL The role of food-based biofuels in climate mitigation policies has long been controversial because of their impact on food prices and land use. Biofuels do not categorically deliver greenhouse gas (GHG) savings compared to petroleum; the biofuel crops must be grown somewhere, and that land use is associated – directly and indirectly – with GHG emissions. If a forest is cut down so the land can be used to grow biofuel crops, the GHG savings from avoided petroleum use will not offset the amount of carbon that is released from disturbed vegetation and soils within a reasonable timeframe. That is why direct land use change on forest land to produce biofuels is prohibited in biofuel policies in the EU and the U.S.

  • Transcriptome Profiling of Resistance Response To
    Bali et al. BMC Genomics (2019) 20:907 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-019-6257-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Transcriptome profiling of resistance response to Meloidogyne chitwoodi introgressed from wild species Solanum bulbocastanum into cultivated potato Sapinder Bali1, Kelly Vining2, Cynthia Gleason1, Hassan Majtahedi3, Charles R. Brown3 and Vidyasagar Sathuvalli4* Abstract Background: Meloidogyne chitwoodi commonly known as Columbia root-knot nematode or CRKN is one of the most devastating pests of potato in the Pacific Northwest of the United States of America. In addition to the roots, it infects potato tubers causing internal as well as external defects, thereby reducing the market value of the crop. Commercial potato varieties with CRKN resistance are currently unavailable. Race specific resistance to CRKN has been introgressed from the wild, diploid potato species Solanum bulbocastanum into the tetraploid advanced selection PA99N82–4 but there is limited knowledge about the nature of its resistance mechanism. In the present study, we performed histological and differential gene expression profiling to understand the mode of action of introgressed CRKN resistance in PA99N82–4 in comparison to the CRKN susceptible variety Russet Burbank. Results: Histological studies revealed that the nematode juveniles successfully infect both resistant and susceptible root tissue by 48 h post inoculation, but the host resistance response restricts nematode feeding site formation in PA99N82–4. Differential gene expression analysis shows that 1268, 1261, 1102 and 2753 genes were up-regulated in PA99N82–4 at 48 h, 7 days, 14 days and 21 days post inoculation respectively, of which 61 genes were common across all the time points.

  • A Marine Waste Biorefinery
    A Marine Waste Biorefinery A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) at Newcastle University by Ahmed Said Hamed Al Hatrooshi November 2019 Abstract Biodiesel is a renewable alternative to ‘petro-diesel’. There is already an established, conventional production technology based on refined vegetable oils. However, this is always more expensive than producing petroleum-based diesel, mainly due to the feedstock cost. Use of a cheap, non- edible feedstock, such as waste shark liver oil (WSLO), would reduce the biodiesel production cost and make the process economically viable. WSLO is obtained by exposing sharks’ livers to the sun until they melt and collecting the oil produced. Sharks’ livers comprise 25-30% of their body weight. Historically, the discarded WSLO was used for waterproofing wooden boats. However, this application is no longer required, as modern boats are made of fibreglass. The excess WSLO derived from these discarded sharks’ livers has great potential for being further processed into valuable products, including biodiesel, squalene and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), such as eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA). The glyceride components of the WSLO can be converted into biodiesel using existing biodiesel processing technologies, while the squalene, EPA and DHA may be extracted and sold as value-added products through biorefinery processes. This study investigated the production of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) from WSLO using both acid (sulfuric acid, H2SO4) and base (sodium hydroxide, NaOH) catalysts. Due to the high levels of free fatty acids (FFA) in WSLO, homogeneous alkali-catalysed transesterification was less effective than the acid-catalysed process, resulting in a maximum WSLO to FAME conversion of only 40% after 15 min at a 60°C temperature, a 1.5 wt.% of NaOH catalyst and a 6:1 molar ratio of methanol to WSLO.

The Council’s position has always been that we will support whatever will lower costs for our consumers in the strongest belief that the lower the cost the lesser the burden and therefore more consumption and this must be good for everybody. In food however, we need to be more cautious less:- (1) our food safety standards will be compromised and; (2) we make HK/China a laughing stock to the world. On (1) food safety standards:- Bring trade mark owners into the picture Please understand that different countries have different food safety standards. Ingredients being used and considered safe or requiring no mention in labeling in one country may be considered dangerous and are banned in another countries (the recent incident with preservatives in oyster sauce which got into trouble in America is a case in point). Our concern is that parallel imports in food when “liberalized” will greatly increase the introduction of such possible non-compliance food in our system. We are concerned that our existing monitoring system in government will not be able to cope, should parallel trade becomes the norm rather than the exception (as is under our current system).

    Journal of Biology, Agriculture and Healthcare www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3208 (Paper) ISSN 2225-093X (Online) Vol.4, No.27, 2014 Review on Nematode Molecular Diagnostics: From Bands to Barcodes Alemu Nega Department of Horticulture and Plant Science, Jimma University, P. O. Box 307, Jimma, Ethiopia Email Address: [email protected] Abstract Molecular methods of identification provide accurate, reliable diagnostic approaches for the identification of plant-parasitic nematodes. The promising and attractive results have generated increasing demands for applications in new fields and for better performing techniques. Initially, the techniques were used solely for taxonomic purposes, but increasingly became popular as a component of diagnostic information. Diagnostic procedures are now available to differentiate the plant-pathogenic species from related but non-pathogenic species. The microscopic size of plant parasitic nematodes poses problems and techniques have been developed to enrich samples to obtain qualitative and quantitative information on individual species. In addition, techniques are available to evaluate single nematodes, cysts or eggs of individual species in extracts from soil and plant tissue. DNA or RNA-based techniques are the most widely used approaches for identification, taxonomy and phylogenetic studies, although the development and use of other methods has been, and in some cases still is, important. DNA barcoding and the extraction of DNA from preserved specimens will aid considerably in diagnostic information. In addition, further review is needed to identify all recovered nematode and evaluation of promising treatments for use in integrated disease management strategy to manage not only regulated species such as the potato cyst nematodes Globodera rostochiensis and Globodera pallida, and root-knot nematode Meloidogyne.

E-mail: [email protected]. *Corresponding author. 2Instituto Biológico, Campinas, SP, Brasil. ABSTRACT: Root-knot nematodes (RKN – Meloidogyne spp.) are one of the most serious threats to carrot production worldwide. In Brazil, carrots are grown throughout the year, and economic losses due to RKN are reported. Since little is known on the distribution of RKN species in carrot fields in Brazil, we collected plant and soil samples from 35 fields across six states. Based on the morphology of perineal patterns, esterase phenotypes and species-specific PCR, three Meloidogyne species were identified: 60% of the fields were infested with Meloidogyne incognita, M. javanica was reported in 42.9% of the areas, whereas M. hapla was detected in 17.1% of carrot fields. Mixed populations were reported in 20% of the areas with a predominance of M. incognita + M. javanica. The combination of morphological, biochemical, and molecular techniques is a useful approach to identify RKN species. Key words: Daucus carota, integrative taxonomy, isozyme phenotypes, species-specific PCR. Distribuição de espécies de Meloidogyne em cenoura no Brasil RESUMO: Os nematoides-das-galhas (RKN - Meloidogyne spp.) são uma das mais sérias ameaças à produção de cenoura no mundo.
