DIRECT ANALYSIS OF HOPS BY LEAF SPRAY AND PAPER SPRAY MASS SPECTROMETRY Kari Blain, M.S. Western Michigan University, 2012 The objective of this research is to develop a new and innovative method of hops analysis, which is much faster than standard testing methods, as well as reduce the amount of consumables and solvent used. A detailed discussion on the development of an ambient ionization mass spectrometry method called paper spray (PS-MS) and leaf spray (LS-MS) mass spectrometry will be presented. This research investigates the use of PS-MS and LS-MS techniques to determine the α- and β- acids present in hops. PS-MS and LS-MS provide a fast way to analyze hops samples by delivering data as rapidly as a UV-Vis measurement while providing information similar to lengthy liquid chromatographic separations. The preliminary results shown here indicate that PS-MS could be used to determine cohumulone and α/β ratios.

Abstract Hop (Humulus lupulus L. var Lupulus) is a diploid, dioecious plant with a history of cultivation spanning more than one thousand years. Hop cones are valued for their use in brewing, and around the world, hop has been used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of ailments.

  • The Villager June 19
    The Villager The Official Publication of Normandy Parish Council June 2019 - Issue 69 Welcome Welcome to the June 2019 edition of The Villager. I hope you enjoy reading the articles inside. The Local Elections were held on the 2nd May this year when the Parish Council increased its number of councillors from seven to nine. It was uncontested as only nine people put themselves forward for election. You may have noticed that only seven are actually ‘elected’. This is due to Guildford Borough Council having ‘lost’ two sets of paperwork (Val Cheesman and myself). This was corrected at the Parish Council AGM on 15th May. Five of the existing councillors (David Simmons, Ally Lawson, Geoff Doven, Bob Hutton and Peter Palmer) were re-elected plus two new, Margaret Amos and Sarah Noble. Welcome to Sarah and Margaret. Please see inside a few words from Margaret and Sarah by way of introduction. The increase in councillors is no cost to the Village as we are all volunteers (not paid). I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our councillors for all the time and effort they have put in throughout their term of office and hope they will continue to show such dedication through the next term. Also a special thank you to Leslie Clarke, our Parish Clerk, without whose vast knowledge it would make my position extremely difficult and Anna Beuden, our Assistant Clerk, Website and Villager Editor. The Local Plan has been accepted by the Planning Inspector and Guildford Borough Council have put it in place. Normandy has ‘escaped’ from any major developments, but the developed areas of the village will now be inset from the Green Belt.

The course consists of three major parts, with five modules and eighteen 18 units. In writing this study guide, I have given primary consideration to the students‟ background. It has been assumed that students usually enroll in the crop genetics and breeding course after they have completed courses in botany, genetics statistics and other related courses in agriculture. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS COURSE CRP 305 – Crop genetics and breeding consists of five major components arranged in modules. The first module which is on crop genetics and breeding will introduce you to the concept of what: a. Crop breeding is, and the purpose is suppose to serve. b. Plant cell concepts, gene symbols which will help you to understand Mendel‟s experiments and Law of Inheritance. c. Differences between qualitative and quantitative traits constitute.

  • PLANT BREEDING David Luckett and Gerald Halloran ______
    CHAPTER 4 _____________________________________________________________________ PLANT BREEDING David Luckett and Gerald Halloran _____________________________________________________________________ WHAT IS PLANT BREEDING AND WHY DO IT? Plant breeding, or crop genetic improvement, is the production of new, improved crop varieties for use by farmers. The new variety may have higher yield, improved grain quality, increased disease resistance, or be less prone to lodging. Ideally, it will have a new combination of attributes which are significantly better than the varieties already available. The new variety will be a new combination of genes which the plant breeder has put together from those available in the gene pool of that species. It may contain only genes already existing in other varieties of the same crop, or it may contain genes from other distant plant relatives, or genes from unrelated organisms inserted by biotechnological means. The breeder will have employed a range of techniques to produce the new variety. The new gene combination will have been chosen after the breeder first created, and then eliminated, thousands of others of poorer performance. This chapter is concerned with describing some of the more important genetic principles that define how plant breeding occurs and the techniques breeders use. Plant breeding is time-consuming and costly. It typically takes more than ten years for a variety to proceed from the initial breeding stages through to commercial release. An established breeding program with clear aims and reasonable resources will produce a new variety regularly, every couple of years or so. Each variety will be an incremental improvement upon older varieties or may, in rarer circumstances, be a quantum improvement due to some novel gene, the use of some new technique or a response to a new pest or disease.

It is with regret that I have to report the resignation of one of our new Councillors, Sarah Noble, through personal circumstances. Thank you Sarah for the time you spent on the Parish council. That leaves us with a vacancy for a new Councillor; if you are interested in filling this position please contact our Parish Clerk (Leslie Clarke, contact details on back page). The Normandy Fete was held on 26th August, please see report by Cllr. Val Cheesman, thank you Val for organising the event. Work has started on the installation of the ISO container (for PC storage) on MFF, hopefully to be completed by the end of September 2019. Upcoming event for your diary: Normandy Bonfire, Torchlight Parade & Fireworks - 5th November. Torchlight parade leaves Hunts Hill Road car park at 6.30pm. Alan Cheesman, Chairman Normandy Parish Council Your contribution is welcome Yes it’s early, but I thought I would like to remind readers that we accept material for the bonfire on Manor fruit Farm from September onwards. The first thing to mention is please only give us what is responsibly burnable and couldn’t be re-used or upcycled. Wood, garden cutting, tree cuttings, leaves, fencing, pallets etc are all happily accepted. We do NOT want the following please…grass cuttings, rubble or building materials like plasterboard, very large tree trunks, windows with glass in them, etc which are some recent unwelcome deposits.
