Szalanski2,Roger E. Gold3,and Bart T. Fost# ABSTRACT A molecular geneticsstudy involving DNA sequencingof a portion of the mitochondrialDNA 165 genewas undertakento determinethe extent of geneticvariation with Reticulitermesspp. and the distribution of Reticulitermesspp. subterraneantermites in Texas.From 42 Texascounties a total of 68 R. flavipes, sevenR. hageni,eight R. virginicus,and nine R. tibialis were identified. No geneticvariation was observedin R. virginicus andR. hageni,while sevenhaplotypes were observedin R. tibialis and 13 for R. flavipes.Among the 13.R.flavipes haplotypes,9nucleotides were variableand genetic variationranged from 0.2 to l.60/o.Phylogenetic analysis did not revealany relationships amongthe R. tibialis arld R. flavipes haplotypes,and there wasino apparentgeographical structureto the haplotypes.The high amount of genetic variation, but a lack of genetic structure in R. flavipes supports the hypothesis that this termite species has been distributedrandomly by mandue to its associationwith structures. INTRODUCTION The most abundant native termite in Texas is the subterranean genus ReticulitermesHolgren (Rhiniotermitidae).Four species, the eastern subtenanean Reliculitermesflavipes (Kollar), light southemR. hageniBanks, arid n. nDialis Banks,and dark southernR. virginicus (Banks),are known to occur in Texas(Howell et al. 1987). These speciesare among the most destructiveand costly termites for homeownersand businessesalike, and are of considerableeconomic importance. Su (1993)estimated that over $ I .5 billion is spentannually for termite control in the U.S., of which 80olois spentto control subterraneantermites, More recent estimatesby the National Pest Management Associationsuggest the cost to exceed$2.5 billion annually(Anonymous 2003).

  • Market Opportunities for Waxy Hulless Barley Cultivars in Australia
    Market Opportunities for Waxy Hulless Barley Cultivars in Australia Jennifer M Washington1 and Amanda J Box2 1 Australian Stem Cell Centre, School of Molecular and Biomedical Sciences, University of Adelaide, 5005, South Australia, Australia. Web address: www.adelaide.edu.au. Email: [email protected] 2 School of Agriculture and Wine, Faculty of Sciences, Waite Campus, University of Adelaide, Glen Osmond, 5064, South Australia, Australia. Abstract: The nutritional value of barley in supplying a western diet with a high fibre, low fat and low GI alternative to other less nutritious grains is beginning to be realised. The availability of agronomically viable waxy hulless barley will enable Australian food processors to utilise this valuable food grain. Processing techniques such as pearling, milling and flaking (rolling) enable barley to be utilised in a variety of food products. The availability of waxy hulless barley will provide food manufacturers with a fast cooking grain (whole or pearled) with excellent pearling and flaking quality with a high content of beta-glucan. This soluble fibre has been shown to lower blood cholesterol in humans thus reducing risk of heart disease. It has also been extracted for numerous end-uses, such as bio-films, wound dressings and nutritional supplements. We have compared the physical grain quality, pearling, cooking, baking and flaking quality of Australian waxy hulless barley with other hulless and covered barleys. The quality attributes of waxy hulless barley will be discussed in the context of potential products and market opportunities. Other end-uses for waxy barley will also be discussed. The South Australian Barley Improvement Program has bred waxy hulless barleys with considerable improvements in agronomy and food quality characteristics compared to older waxy cultivars.
