    Description: This open access book highlights concepts discussed at two international conferences that brought together world-renowned scientists to advance the science of potassium (K) recommendations for crops. There was general agreement that the potassium recommendations currently in general use are oversimplified, outdated, and jeopardize soil, plant, and human health. Accordingly, this book puts forward a significantly expanded K cycle that more accurately depicts K inputs, losses and transformations in soils. This new cycle serves as both the conceptual basis for the scientific discussions in this book and a framework upon which to build future improvements. Previously used approaches are critically reviewed and assessed, not only for their relevance to future enhancements, but also for their use as metrics of sustainability. An initial effort is made to link K nutrition in crops and K nutrition in humans. The book offers an invaluable asset for graduate students, educators, industry scientists, data scientists, and advanced agronomists.

    Description: This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. By 2050, human population is expected to reach 9.7 billion. The demand for increased food production needs to be met from ever reducing resources of land, water and other environmental constraints. Rice remains the staple food source for a majority of the global populations, but especially in Asia where ninety percent of rice is grown and consumed. Climate change continues to impose abiotic and biotic stresses that curtail rice quality and yields. Researchers have been challenged to provide innovative solutions to maintain, or even increase, rice production. Amongst them, the ‘green super rice’ breeding strategy has been successful for leading the development and release of multiple abiotic and biotic stress tolerant rice varieties. Recent advances in plant molecular biology and biotechnologies have led to the identification of stress responsive genes and signaling pathways, which open up new paradigms to augment rice productivity. Accordingly, transcription factors, protein kinases and enzymes for generating protective metabolites and proteins all contribute to an intricate network of events that guard and maintain cellular integrity. In addition, various quantitative trait loci associated with elevated stress tolerance have been cloned, resulting in the detection of novel genes for biotic and abiotic stress resistance. Mechanistic understanding of the genetic basis of traits, such as N and P use, is allowing rice researchers to engineer nutrient-efficient rice varieties, which would result in higher yields with lower inputs. Likewise, the research in micronutrients biosynthesis opens doors to genetic engineering of metabolic pathways to enhance micronutrients production. With third generation sequencing techniques on the horizon, exciting progress can be expected to vastly improve molecular markers for gene-trait associations forecast with increasing accuracy. This book emphasizes on the areas of rice science that attempt to overcome the foremost limitations in rice production. Our intention is to highlight research advances in the fields of physiology, molecular breeding and genetics, with a special focus on increasing productivity, improving biotic and abiotic stress tolerance and nutritional quality of rice. ; Up-to-date contributions by experts from international research centers and universities Provides practical knowledge and strong scientific foundation on rice biotechnology All-in-one resource for current advances in rice breeding Open Access

    Description: This open access book offers a comprehensive overview of the role and potential of microorganisms in the degradation and preservation of cultural materials (e.g. stone, metals, graphic documents, textiles, paintings, glass, etc.). Microorganisms are a major cause of deterioration in cultural artefacts, both in the case of outdoor monuments and archaeological finds. This book covers the microorganisms involved in biodeterioration and control methods used to reduce their impact on cultural artefacts. Additionally, the reader will learn more about how microorganisms can be used for the preservation and protection of cultural artefacts through bio-based and eco-friendly materials. New avenues for developing methods and materials for the conservation of cultural artefacts are discussed, together with concrete advances in terms of sustainability, effectiveness and toxicity, making the book essential reading for anyone interested in microbiology and the preservation of cultural heritage.

    Notes: Abstract In the female grasshopper Gomphocerus rufus mating elicits ‘secondary defense’ which makes remating impossible. The behavioral change is caused by the liquid white secretions, proteins of less than 90 kD, which are produced by the white tubuli of the male's accessory glands. Experimental injection of the white secretions directly into the spermathecal duct of receptive virgins provokes ‘secondary defense’ instantly whereas sperm transfer had no such effect. ‘Secondary defense’ is also released by eggs entering the oviducts and excerting pressure against the oviductal walls on their way to oviposition.

    Notes: Summary The continuously erupting rabbit incisor tooth is normally thought of as having an enamel covered “crown” on its labial surface and a cementum covered “root” on its lingual surface. We have examined both surfaces of continuously erupting rabbit incisor teeth taken from near term embryos by a variety of means, including transmission and scanning electron microscopy, biochemical fractionation, and immunohistochemistry. In all cases, we could detect no qualitative difference in the early extracellular matrices taken from the labial and lingual surfaces of the teeth. Both matrices were shown to be composed of dentin and enamel, although the thickness and geometry of the enamel matrix on the lingual surface was somewhat different from that on the labial surface.

    Notes: Abstract Glucose is the main component of the cell wall of the yeast form of Taphrina deformans. On the other hand the glucosamine content is very low (less than 1%). Other sugars are mannose, galactose and rhamnose; their content depends on the age of the cultures. The protein content is less than 5% and lipids less than 2%. Most of the isolated cell wall is alkalisoluble: the insoluble fraction is less than 8% of the total wall. Three polysaccharides have been detected: an α-glucan containing mostly α(1→3) and perhaps a few α(1→4) glycosidic linkages, a β-glucan containing β(1→3) and β(1→6) linkages, and a heteropolysaccharide fraction containing mannose, galactose and rhamnose. Chitin, if present, forms no more than 2‰ of the total wall. The biochemical characteristics of the cell wall of the yeast form of T. deformans distinguish it from that of filamentous Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes and also of most of the yeasts. It is with the Schizosaccharomyces wall that they have the most features in common.

    Notes: Summary Employing a combination of microscopical, biochemical and autoradiographic techniques, the primary effects of starvation on adult Polycelis tenuis have been studied. Over a five week period of starvation there is on average a 32% decrease in the size of the organism. This decrease is contributed to by a reduction in mitosis and an increase in cell shrinkage autolysis and death. During starvation (following a sharp rise in RNA synthesis) there is a distinct sequence of events; four peaks of acid phosphatase activity can be resolved. The first is associated with the immediate response of the gastrodermis to feeding; the second (after 6 to 7 days) with increased autophagy and dedifferentiation in the gland cells and with muscle lysis; the third peak (after 14 to 15 days) is contributed to largely by the lysis of cells in the gut and the fourth peak (after 25 to 26 days) is caused by an extensive lysis of the reproductive system. Fine structural changes involving increased intracellular vacuolation, autophagy, crinophagy, atrophy of muscle, increased intercellular space and loss of basement membrane matrix have been related to changes in enzyme pattern. Nerve cells appear unchanged throughout the first five weeks of starvation. Pigment and gland cells loose their characteristic granules, dedifferentiate and become morphologically similar to the undifferentiated neoblasts. Dedifferentiation and the mechanisms involved in the survival of starvation are discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Am Epithel der drei Vormägen der Ziege wurden licht- und elektronenmikroskopische Untersuchungen über den Nachweis der Mg++-, (Mg++-Na+-K+)- und der Ca++-aktivierbaren ATPasen durchgeführt. Bereits an lichtmikroskopischen Präparaten wurde festgestellt, daß sich deutliche Unterschiede in der Enzymaktivität der Mg++- und Ca++ stimulierbaren ATPasen sowohl für die einzelnen Epithelschichten als auch für die verschiedenen Bereiche der Vormägen nachweisen lassen; die tiefen Epithellagen reagieren stets stärker als die oberflächlichen. Ferner ist die in hohem Maße von der Inkubationszeit abhängige Reaktionsstärke im Epithel des Blättermagens größer als in der Lamina epithelialis des Netzmagens und vor allem in jener des Pansens. Bei dem elektronenmikroskopisch geführten Nachweis der ATPasen zeigt sich, daß die Reaktionsprodukte an der Außenseite der Zellmembranen liegen. Frei von Niederschlägen sind alle Zellmembranabschnitte, die sich an der Bildung der Desmosomen und Halbdesmosomen beteiligen sowie die basalen Abschnitte der Basalzellen. Im Hinblick auf die Verteilung und feinstrukturelle Lokalisation konnten keine Unterschiede zwischen den Mg++-, Ca++- und (Mg++-Na+-K+)-aktivierbaren ATPasen beobachtet werden. In Anlehnung an die Methode nach Coleman u.a. (1967) wurden Zellmembranen von Pansenepithelzellen isoliert und an diesen biochemische Enzymbestimmungen durchgeführt. Die Ausbeute der gewonnenen Zellmembranen betrug, gemessen anhand der 5′-Nukleotidase, dem Leitenzym für Plasmamembranen, gegenüber dem eingesetzten Gesamthomogenat 0,3%. Die mit diesem Verfahren durchgeführten biochemischen Enzymbestimmungen erbrachten den Nachweis, daß in den Plasmamembranen der Pansenepithelzellen neben der Mg++- und Ca++-aktivierbaren auch eine (Na+-K+)-abhängige Transport-ATPase vorkommt.
    Notes: Summary Light- and electron microscopical studies were carried out to demonstrate ATPases activated by Mg++, by (Mg++-Na+-K+), and by Ca++. Histological sections showed clear differences of the activity of Mg++- and Ca++-stimulated ATPases in the light microscope in different layers of the epithelium as well as in different areas of the forestomach. The deeper layers reacted more intensely than the superficial ones. The intensity of the reaction (which depends on incubation time) in the omasal epithelium was stronger than in the lamina epithelialis of the reticulum and much stronger than in the lamina epithelialis of the rumen. In the electron microscope, the reaction products of the ATPase appeared on the outer surface of cell membranes (plasmalemmata). No deposits of the reaction products were observed on those areas of the cell membranes, which are involved in the formation of desmosomes and semidesmosomes. The basal parts of the basal cells were also free from reaction products. As for the distribution and ultrastructural localisation of the deposits, no differences were observed among the ATPase stimulated by Mg++, (Mg++-Na+-K+), and Ca++. Using the technique of Coleman et al. (1967), the cell membranes of ruminal epithelium were isolated. Biochemical assays of the enzymes were carried out. The quantity of cell membranes obtained was 0.3% of the whole homogenate, when compared with 5′-nucleotidase, which is the typical enzyme of plasmalemmata. The biochemical enzyme assays showed that, besides Mg++- and Ca++-dependent ATPases, a (Na+-K+)-dependent transport ATPase exists in the cell membranes of ruminal epithelial cells.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Une étude pharmacologique et histologique des transformations enregistrées le long du tractus neurosécrétoire est réalisée chez l'anguille européenne après hypophysectomie totale. Les animaux, sacrifiés entre 8 jours et 150 jours après hypophysectomie, sont d'abord examinés sur le plan quantitatif en suivant le devenir de l'arginine-vasotocine et de l'istotocine dans les parties antérieure (noyau préoptique) et caudale du tractus neurosécrétoire. L'étude est ensuite effectuée sur un plan qualitatif, en suivant, pour les mêmes territoires et les mêmes périodes de temps, les transformations notées pour le neurosécrétat. Les résultats obtenus au moyen de ces deux techniques d'investigation sont comparés. 1. Sur le plan quantitatif, l'expérience montre que l'évolution de l'arginine-vasotocine est différente de celle de l'isotocine, et qu'une distinction peut être faite entre les parties antérieure et caudale du tractus neurosécrétoire. En règle générale, et particuhèrement pour le premier peptide, lorsqu'il y a chute de concentration au niveau préoptique il y a augmentation de concentration dans la partie caudale, ce qui permet de traduire le cheminement des hormones. 2. L'expérience montre également que les hormones sont toujours présentes, mais subissent des chutes de concentration très importantes. 3. Le contrôle histologique confirme les résultats précédents, et montre des variations importantes dans la quantité et la colorabilité du neurosécrétat.
    Notes: Summary A pharmacological and histological study of the transformations of the neurosecretory material observed along the neurosecretory tract of the hypophysectomized eel has been performed. The animals, sacrificed within a period of 8 to 150 days after hypophysectomy, have been first examined on a quantitative level by registrating the concentration of arginine-vasotocin and ichthyotocin in the anterior (preoptic nucleus) and caudal parts of the neurosecretory tract. The study was then transferred to a qualitative level for the same regions and post-operative times, to follow up the transformations of the neurosecretory material. The results obtained with these two approaches of investigation are compared. 1. On the quantitative level, the experiments showed that the arginine-vasotocin behaves differently if compared with ichthyotocin, and that a difference exists between the anterior and caudal parts of the neurosecretory tract. In general, a decrease of concentration in the preoptic nucleus is followed by an increase of concentration in the caudal part. This is particularly obvious in the case of the arginine-vasotocin. This result speaks in favour of the transport of hormones along the neurosecretory tract. 2. The experiment showed also that the hormones are always present, but show an important decrease in concentration. 3. The histological control confirmed the pharmacological results, showing great variations of the quantity and stainability of the neurosecretory material.
