As we prepare to enjoy The Big Easy and all of its historic charms, it is important to celebrate the city’s rebirth and cultural renewal. It is only fitting that the American Society for Horticultural Science return with its 112th annual conference to New Orleans on the ten-year anniversary of the tragic event of Hurricane Katrina. Proudly the American Society for Horticultural Science was one of the very first organizations to return to New Orleans with a major conference following Hurricane Katrina! While other organizations abandoned the city in the wake of the damage from Katrina, the American Society for Horticultural Science held to its commitment to bring the 2006 Annual Conference to New Orleans. Many of our members had family or friends, particularly those associated with Louisiana State University and Mississippi State University, who suffered terribly from the storm. By honoring our commitment to New Orleans for the 2006 Annual Conference we, in a small way, helped with the recovery. Now ten years later we return to celebrate a revitalized and vibrant city, rich in tradition and looking to a bright future. So prepare to enjoy an outstanding technical program featuring leading horticultural scientists, educators, and extension professionals from around the country. Sample the finest foods and greatest jazz the world has to offer in the easy going style that is New Orleans. Enjoy the Cajun cuisine, historic French and Spanish Creole architecture and multicultural heritage that imbue the city. Be sure to visit the French Quarter, world class aquarium, classic zoo, historic botanic garden, and fabled Bourbon Street, in between talks or after hours of course. On behalf of the Board of Directors of the American Society for Horticultural Science, welcome to “Nawlins” and the 2015 Conference of the American Society for Horticultural Science!

  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

  • Transcriptome Assembly and Expression Analysis in Colletotrichum Gloeosporioides-Tolerant Rubus 7 Glaucus Benth
    RESEARCH Transcriptome assembly and expression analysis in Colletotrichum gloeosporioides-tolerant Rubus 7 glaucus Benth. Juliana Arias1, Juan C. Rincón1*, Ana M. López1, and Marta L. Marulanda1 1Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira, Grupo de Investigación en Biodiversidad y Biotecnología, Carrera 27 No. 10-02 Pereira, Risaralda, Colombia. *Corresponding author ([email protected]). Received: 9 April 2019; Accepted: 30 July 2019; doi:10.4067/S0718-58392019000400565 ABSTRACT Andean blackberry (Rubus glaucus Benth.) is an important crop of the Andean region affected by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. In Colombia, tolerant plant material has been detected, but it has not been completely characterized. The objective of this research was oriented to analyze de novo transcriptome assembly of R. glaucus, and the comparison of the assembly with different reference genomes to further complete differential expression analysis of R. glaucus tolerant to C. gloespoiorides attack. To achieve this, three groups were used: infected tolerant material, infected susceptible material, and a susceptible group without inoculation. The RNA-seq sequencing was achieved through Illumina Hi-seq 2000. De novo assembly (Trinity, CD-HIT, TopHat) and functional annotation of sequences were carried out, additionally, mapping with reference genomes belonging to Rosaceae families was conducted (Bowtie2, TopHat). Subsequently, the differential expression was quantified (Cuffdiff) and analyzed through EdgeR. Variant analysis was made using MISA and SAMtools. After editing and assembly, 43579 consensus sequences were obtained (N50 = 489 bp; GC = 44.6%), annotation detected 35824 and 35602 sequences in Nt (partially non-redundant nucleotide sequences) and Nr (non-redundant protein sequences) databases, respectively. The 85% of Nr sequences was linked to members of Rosaceae family, mainly strawberry (67.6%).

  • Competition and Climate Affect Body Size and Sexual Size Dimorphism in Pine Sawyer Beetles
    Bulletin of Insectology 73 (2): 265-273, 2020 ISSN 1721-8861 eISSN 2283-0332 Competition and climate affect body size and sexual size dimorphism in pine sawyer beetles Carla S. PIMENTEL1, Matthew P. AYRES2 1Forest Research Centre (CEF), School of Agriculture, University of Lisbon, Portugal 2Department of Biological Sciences, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH, USA Abstract The importance of interspecific competition in structuring communities of plant-eating insects has been somewhat controversial. If interspecific competition is ever important for phytophagous insects, it is likely to be observed in the insect guild that feeds in the phloem of trees. We tested for signals of interspecific competition in co-occurring species of pine sawyer beetles Monochamus Megerle (Coleoptera Cerambycidae), generally the largest phloemophagous insects in pines. We evaluated patterns of body size and its correlation with other life-history traits. By studying pine sawyer beetles in different areas (Northeast USA, Southeast USA and Portugal) we assessed the interaction with climate. As predicted under the hypothesis of interspecific competition, there were always clear size differences among coexisting species. As predicted if competition is asymmetric, smaller species were less abun- dant and emerged earlier than the larger species. In the larger and numerically dominant species, sexual size dimorphism was more pronounced and the sex ratio was skewed towards females. In the smaller species, males emerged earlier (protandry), whereas the larger species lacked differences in emergence time or displayed protogyny. Effects of climate only seem to have been expressed in the larger dominant species of each area, whereas the effects of competition in smaller species probably overshadow the effects of climate.

  • Changes in the Sensory Characteristics of Mango Cultivars During the Production of Mango Purée and Sorbet
    DIFFERENCES IN SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS AMONG VARIOUS MANGO CULTIVARS IN THE FORM OF FRESH SLICED MANGO, MANGO PURÉE, AND MANGO SORBET by CHRISTIE N. LEDEKER B.S., University of Delaware, 2008 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Interdisciplinary Food Science Graduate Program Department of Human Nutrition KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2011 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Delores H. Chambers Abstract Fresh mangoes are highly perishable, and therefore, they are often processed to extend shelf-life and facilitate exportation. Studying the transformation that mango cultivars undergo throughout processing can aid in selecting appropriate varieties for products. In the 1st part of this study, the flavor and texture properties of 4 mango cultivars available in the United States (U.S.) were analyzed. Highly trained descriptive panelists in the U.S. evaluated fresh, purée, and sorbet samples prepared from each cultivar. Purées were made by pulverizing mango flesh, passing it through a china cap, and heating it to 85 °C for 15 s. For the sorbets, purées were diluted with water (1:1), sucrose was added, and the bases were frozen in a batch ice cream freezer. Much of the texture variation among cultivars was lost after fresh samples were transformed into purées, whereas much of the flavor and texture variation among cultivars was lost once fresh mangoes and mango purées were transformed into sorbets. Compared to the other cultivars, Haden and Tommy Atkins underwent greater transformations in flavor throughout sorbet preparation, and processing reduced the intensities of some unpleasant flavors in these cultivars.

Abstract This study evaluated biological activities of blackberries (Rubus adenotrichos Schltdl.) and the effects of digestion or pasteurization processes on these activities. The blackberries phenolic extract showed an ORAC value of 4.34 ± 0.14 mmol TE/g, higher than those of quercetin and ellagic acid. It also protected liposomes and liver homogenates against lipid peroxidation; with IC50 of 7.0 ± 0.5 and 20.3 ± 4.2 μg/mL, respectively. The blackberry polyphenols inhibited nitrite production in J774A.1 cells stimulated with LPS+IFNγ due to down-regulation of iNOS protein expression, suggesting an anti- inflammatory potential.
