This book was released on 2010 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Truncated abstract] This thesis contains three discrete chapters to address the objectives of this study. Chapter 1 presents the state of knowledge on the subject matter related to profiling plant material, specifically Prunus species. Stone fruit species are important food crops. With new varieties being developed constantly, there is a need to protect new breeds and strains. The food and beverage industry faces significant losses in income due to illegal propagation of new varieties to avoid royalty payments. Together with its high nutritional values, characteristic physical properties and desirable post harvest traits, the newly bred variety, Nadia!", is one of a series of novel hybrids of the Prunus family, which could possibly attract premium prices. The authentication of new fruit varieties is now part of doing business in the lucrative horticultural industry. Taxonomic description, chemical composition and DNA profiling have all been used for this purpose. The main objective of this study was to make use of DNA profiling and analysis of biochemical composition to differentiate Nadia!" from other fruits of the Prunus family. Various plant and fruit databases were reviewed for this chapter of the thesis. While the information from these databases is extensive, microsatellite DNA profiling for Prunus species are not readily available. Hence, the possibility of generating a concise database for microsatellite markers of a variety of Prunus varieties is to be assessed in the second chapter of this thesis. Chapter 2 describes the use of DNA- based profiling on fruit collected from several varieties of Prunus species. At the time when work commenced, Nadia!" was a novel variety and its DNA characteristics were unknown. This study specifically used previously described DNA microsatellite markers to show that Nadia!" is a unique Prunus variety, more closely related to plums than peaches or apricots. Samples were screened for variation by using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to separate microsatellite alleles from Prunus leaf genome, which were then sent for Gene Scanning at Royal Perth Hospital, WA. Three microsatellite loci of fourteen different Prunus varieties were analysed to quantify differentiation between the varieties. A phylogenetic tree based on the polymorphic microsatellite allelic sizes of the fourteen Prunus varieties was constructed. Phylogenetic analysis revealed the genetic relationship among the Prunus varieties based on the genetic distances generated from their microsatellite allelic sizes. Successful segregation between the plums, peaches and apricots was observed and the tree showed that Nadia!" is a unique Prunus variety, more closely related to plums than peaches or apricots. Chapter 3 describes the study of biochemical profiling used to authenticate Nadia!". The nutritional values and chemical composition between Nadia!" and its closely related Prunus family members were compared. This part of the study specifically aimed to describe the chemical profile towards providing methods for the authentication of Nadia!" and differentiating it from other Prunus varieties. Initial observation of Nadia!" revealed its desirable quality, better post harvest traits and higher yield than a generic cherry has...

Book Synopsis Micro-electromechanical Technologies for Next-generation Spectroscopic Systems by : Jason Stuart Milne
Download or read book Micro-electromechanical Technologies for Next-generation Spectroscopic Systems written by Jason Stuart Milne and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objective of the research undertaken here was to make use of DNA and chemical profiling to differentiate a newly patent premium hybrid of stone fruit, Nadia (Trademark) (Prunus salicina), from the rest of the Prunus family members. This thesis contains 3 chapters. The first chapter reviews the current literature associated with fraudulence in the food and beverage industry and its forensic significance. It also introduces some common forensic DNA markers and their applications, including microsatellite analysis. Chapter 2 describes the DNA profiling of Nadia (Trademark) and a range of different Prunus varieties based on 3 microsatellite markers. PCR and Gene Scan Analysis (ABI) was based on using genetic distances of the combined microsatellites for differentiation. The phylogenetic tree that was constructed effectively showed a distinction between Nadia and the rest of the 13 other Prunus varieties tested. Chapter 3 describes the chemical assessment of Nadia (Trademark) and other closely related stone fruits. It is the first attempt to report the chemical assessment of Nadia (Trademark), revealing its premium quality in terms of physical appearance, desirable post-harvest traits and high nutritional values. The chapter also attempts to introduce Beta-carotene as one of the potential chemical profiles used to effectively differentiate Nadia (Trademark) from the rest of the stone fruits. Chapter 2 is presented as a manuscript submitted to Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, and is written in the format required by the journal. The entire thesis is tied together with the obligatory abstract and bibliography section.

Book Synopsis Incompatibility and Incongruity in Wild and Cultivated Plants by : Dreux de Nettancourt
Download or read book Incompatibility and Incongruity in Wild and Cultivated Plants written by Dreux de Nettancourt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in plant cell molecular biology have considerably increased our understanding of pollen-pistil barriers, particularly those operated by incompatibility mechanisms, and, at the same time, demonstrated the complexity and diversity of rejection systems once considered to be relatively simple. This book reviews the impressive knowledge acquired in the last century on the biology, particularly the inheritance and population genetics of self-incompatibility, and presents the new approaches to the study of the structure, function and evolution of incompatibility alleles and the analysis of cell-cell recognition and pollen rejection. The different methods now available for transforming the breeding behaviour of higher plants are also discussed.
Download or read book Invasion Dynamics written by Cang Hui and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-26 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans have moved organisms around the world for centuries but it is only relatively recently that invasion ecology has grown into a mainstream research field. This book examines both the spread and impact dynamics of invasive species, placing the science of invasion biology on a new, more rigorous, theoretical footing, and proposing a concept of adaptive networks as the foundation for future research. Biological invasions are considered not as simple actions of invaders and reactions of invaded ecosystems, but as co-evolving complex adaptive systems with emergent features of network complexity and invasibility. Invasion Dynamics focuses on the ecology of invasive species and their impacts in recipient social-ecological systems. It discusses not only key advances and challenges within the traditional domain of invasion ecology, but introduces approaches, concepts, and insights from many other disciplines such as complexity science, systems science, and ecology more broadly. It will be of great value to invasion biologists analyzing spread and/or impact dynamics as well as other ecologists interested in spread processes or habitat management.
Download or read book Prokaryotology written by Sorin Sonea and published by PUM. This book was released on 2000 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prokaryotes are profoundly original, highly efficient microorganisms that have played a decisive role in the evolution of life on Earth. Although disjunct, taken together their cells form one global superorganism or biological system. One of the results of their non-Darwinian evolution has been the development of enormous diversity and bio-energetic variety. Prokaryotic cells possess standardized mechanisms for easy gene exchanges (lateral gene transfer) and they can behave like receiving and broadcasting stations for genetic material. Ultimately, the result is a global communication system based on the prokaryotic hereditary patrimony, by analogy, a two-billion-year-old world wide web for their benefit. Eukaryotes have evolved from the association of at least three complementary prokaryotic cells, and their subsequent development has been enriched and accelerated by symbioses with other prokaryotes. One of these symbioses was responsible for the origin of vascular plants which transformed vast sections of the continental surface of the Earth from deserts to areas with luxuriant, life-supporting vegetation. All forms of life on our planet are directly or indirectly sustained and enriched by the positive contribution of prokaryotes. Sorin Sonea and L�o G. Mathieu have been professors at the Department of Microbiology and Immunology (Faculty of Medicine) at the Universit� de Montr�al. They have long been advocates of the ideas presented in this book.
