ISSN: 1467-9396Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: EconomicsNotes: Markets reacted strongly to the World Trade Center attacks both in Europe and in the United States. The extent of this crisis was difficult to assess at the time, underlining the need for a specific tool to measure the magnitude of financial crises. A first measure was recently proposed and applied to the foreign exchange market by Zumbach et al. (2000a,b). Their measure relies on an analogy with geophysics; the related index of market shocks (IMS) that we propose here is also the counterpart of the Richter scale used for earthquakes. We apply this measure on the French and the American stock markets to put large market events into perspective. The crisis triggered by the September attacks was actually the worst since 1987, and the ninth worst when compared to major historical ones.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Thirty-one primer pairs allowed for the identification of 92 polymorphic alleles distributed over 37 loci. The C. arabica accessions derived from the genetic bases ‘Typica’ and ‘Bourbon’ were grouped separately according to their genetic origin. Two genotypes derived from a spontaneous hybrid (C arabica×C. canephora) were classified with the C. canephora accessions from Central Africa. Coffea canephora from West Africa were separated from the other accessions studied. Four alleles related to introgression (i.e. present in C. canephora and introgressed lines, and absent in C. arabica) were identified. The SSR markers were used successfully for characterization of a particular cultivar (‘Veranero’) from Costa Rica, which is known for its late maturity.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 2003Staff ViewISSN: 1460-9568Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: MedicineNotes: The role of the piriform cortex (PC) in olfactory information processing remains mainly unknown. Indeed, until recently, only a few studies have investigated the response of PC neurons to odours and these studies did not take into account the functional heterogeneity of the PC previously described using an electrical stimulation paradigm. In this experiment, extracellular activity in response to odour was recorded in urethane anaesthetized rats in the different parts of the cortex ranging from anterior to posterior. A large percentage of cortical cells were silent at rest, and this percentage increased from anterior to posterior. Analysis of odour evoked activity revealed a large percentage of nonresponsive cells that increased from anterior to posterior. Cell activity was largely synchronized with breathing and different temporal patterns were observed. The anterior PC was characterized by odour-evoked responses phase-locked with the inhalation-exhalation transition period. By contrast, activity in the posterior PC was mainly phase-locked with inhalation or exhalation. These data confirm the spatial functional heterogeneity previously reported in the PC. Functional anatomy of the PC suggests that activity in the anterior PC can be mainly driven by afferent activity coming from the OB whereas posterior cells were certainly entrained by more complex mechanisms.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 2000Staff ViewISSN: 1365-3059Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, NutritionNotes: Coffee corky-root disease, also called corchosis, was first detected in 1974 in a small area of Costa Rica where the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne arabicida is the dominant species. An epidemiological study revealed a constant association between Meloidogyne spp. and Fusarium sp. in cases of corky root. No corky root appears to have been reported in association with Meloidogyne exigua, which is the prevalent root-knot nematode on coffee in Costa Rica. Fusarium spp. are often cited as components of disease complexes in association with nematodes. Combined inoculations using M. arabicida or M. exigua with Fusarium oxysporum under controlled conditions showed that only the combination with M. arabicida produced corky-root symptoms on Coffea arabica cvs Caturra or Catuai. Fusarium oxysporum alone was nonpathogenic. Meloidogyne exigua or M. arabicida alone caused galls and reduction in shoot height, but no corky-root symptoms. When cultivars susceptible and resistant to M. arabicida were studied under field conditions for 5 years, all the susceptible cultivars exhibited corky-root symptoms on 40–80% of their root systems. Cultivars that were resistant to M. arabicida but not to M. exigua showed no corky root. These observations lead to the conclusion that corky-root disease has a complex etiology, and emphasize the dominant role of M. arabicida as a predisposing agent to subsequent invasion by F. oxysporum. Consequently, genetic resistance to M. arabicida appears to provide an effective strategy against the disease.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 2003Staff ViewISSN: 1365-3059Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, NutritionNotes: Among the most damaging root-knot nematode species, Meloidogyne exigua is especially common in Latin America and constitutes a major agronomic constraint in all major coffee-growing (Coffea arabica) areas. Growing nematode-resistant coffee represents the most promising option for control of the pest. The present study aimed to determine the mode of inheritance of the M. exigua resistance transferred into C. arabica from a related species, Coffea canephora, and to identify associated molecular markers. Segregation data analysis of F2 progeny derived from a cross between the resistant introgression line T5296 and the susceptible accession Et6 showed that the resistance to M. exigua is controlled by a simply inherited major gene (designated the Mex-1 locus). The gall index distribution exhibited by the F2 individuals suggested incomplete dominant expression. Fourteen AFLP markers were found associated with the resistance to M. exigua and a localized genetic map of the chromosome segment carrying Mex-1 was constructed. Furthermore, the association of the identified AFLP markers with Mex-1 was confirmed by analysis of a set of genotypes involving 28 introgression Arabica lines either resistant or susceptible to M. exigua in field conditions. These results represent an important starting point to enhance backcross breeding programmes and to perform an early selection of resistant seedlings.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1365-3059Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, NutritionNotes: Breeding for resistance to root-knot nematode Meloidogyne exigua in coffee may help in controlling this nematode, which causes substantial harvest losses throughout Latin America. Accessions of Coffea arabica, C. canephora and lines derived from the Timor Hybrid (wild C. arabica × C. canephora interspecific hybrid) were tested in a greenhouse for resistance to gall formation by counting individual galls on the roots of plants inoculated with second-stage juveniles of a M. exigua population from Costa Rica. The level of introgression from C. canephora was also assessed on 28 resistant and susceptible genotypes in a molecular study with amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. The frequency of resistant plants was very low or even nonexistent in C. arabica and very high in C. canephora with 〉 78% immune plants and 100% resistant plants. Several lines derived from the interspecific hybrid revealed a high level of resistance similar to that observed in the parent C. canephora species. A molecular study of Timor Hybrid-derived lines revealed high variability for the number of markers present in the study genotypes. A larger number of introgression markers was found in the group of resistant genotypes than in the susceptible genotypes. However, there were also lines with little introgression that had retained resistance. Based on genetic distances calculated from these markers, two groups of lines were revealed: those derived from Timor Hybrid CIFC1343, and those derived from Timor Hybrids CIFC832/1 and CIFC832/2, which may indicate the existence of different resistance genes in the two groups. The segregations observed in F1 and F2 progeny may be explained by at least a dominant gene. The lines derived from the Timor Hybrid are a worthwhile source of resistance to M. exigua that can be exploited to improve C. arabica with the help of molecular-assisted selection.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 2005Staff ViewISSN: 1365-3059Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, NutritionNotes: The distribution of the plant-parasitic nematodes Pratylenchus coffeae sensu lato and Meloidogyne spp. were studied in two plots, one in Guatemala (P. coffeae and M. paranaensis) and the other in Costa Rica (P. coffeae and M. exigua). The quantity of nematodes per g fresh weight root were counted for each coffee tree sampled. The distributions were aggregated, and generally fitted well to negative binomial distributions. Population aggregation was greater when a smaller number of nematodes were involved, suggesting that initial colonization develops in foci. Analyses of the relationships between population levels of the species suggested that there was competition between Pratylenchus coffeae and Meloidogyne spp. This competition was expressed differently depending on the relative population density of the different species.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

The Timor Hybrid-derived genotypes were evaluated by AFLP, using 42 different primer combinations, and compared to 23 accessions of C. arabica and 8 accessions of C. canephora. A total of 1062 polymorphic fragments were scored among the 52 accessions analysed. One hundred and seventy-eight markers consisting of 109 additional bands (i.e. introgressed markers) and 69 missing bands distinguished the group composed of the Timor Hybrid-derived genotypes from the accessions of C. arabica. AFLP therefore seemed to be an extremely efficient technique for DNA marker generation in coffee as well as for the detection of introgression in C. arabica. The genetic diversity observed in the Timor Hybrid-derived genotypes appeared to be approximately double that in C. arabica. Although representing only a small proportion of the genetic diversity available in C. canephora, the Timor Hybrid obviously constitutes a considerable source of genetic diversity for arabica breeding. Analysis of genetic relationships among the Timor Hybrid-derived genotypes suggested that introgression was not restricted to chromosome substitution but also involved chromosome recombinations. Furthermore, the Timor Hybrid-derived genotypes varied considerably in the number of AFLP markers attributable to introgression. In this way, the introgressed markers identified in the analysed arabica coffee introgressed genotypes were estimated to represent from 9% to 29% of the C. canephora genome. Nevertheless, the amount of alien genetic material in the introgression arabica lines remains substantial and should justify the development of adapted breeding strategies.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1432-203XKeywords: Key words Acclimatization ; Bioreactor ; Coffee ; Somatic embryogenesis ; Plant regenerationSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: BiologyNotes: Abstract The effect of germination conditions on the morphology of Coffea arabica L. somatic embryos mass-produced in a 1-l temporary immersion bioreactor (RITA®) was studied with emphasis on direct sowing in soil. Using germinated embryos, direct sowing resulted in a highly successful conversion of embryos into plants. A culture density above 1600 embryos per 1-l bioreactor positively affected embryo morphology by causing higher embryonic axis elongation (+4–5 mm). At this density, the addition of a high concentration of sucrose (234 mM) 2 weeks before sowing promoted an increase in effective plant conversion in soil (78%) and a vigorous vegetative growth of the resulting plants. Furthermore, direct sowing reduced handling time to 13% and shelving area requirements to 6.3% of the values obtained by conventional acclimatization of plants developed on gel media.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Hypocotyledon grafting on C. canephoravar. Robusta is practiced on a very wide scale to control these pests. However, rootstock seeds come from non selected trees which provide 30–40%resistance. In this article, we examine the possibility of improving resistance to M. incognita and Meloidogyne sp. Hybrids were created using two North Carolina II factorial mating designs and tested under controlled conditions for resistance to isolates of the two nematodes. In the trial with Meloidogyne sp. the number of nematodes per plant was counted, and in the trial withM. incognita a root damage index was established. Vegetative measurements (height, weight of aerial parts and roots) were taken in both trials. The parents were classed according to their cross value and genetic variance was estimated. In the factorial trial conducted with the Meloidogynesp. isolate from El Salvador, parents T3561 and T3751transmitted high resistance levels of 56 and 54%,respectively, to their progenies, as opposed to 9% for the other parents. The cross between those two parents achieved 78% resistant plants. In the trial with the M. incognita isolate from Guatemala, similar results were found. The same two parents transmitted resistance to 64% of their progenies, as opposed to 36% for the other parents. Classification of the parents did not differ from one trial to the other. The existence of a complex nematode resistance locus in the C. canephora species seems highly likely. The results show that it is possible to select rootstock varieties that are more resistant to the main Meloidogyne nematodes in Guatemala and El Salvador. Given the average heritability values (0.28–0.30) and the possibility of applying strong selection intensity, the genetic progress expected in the next selection cycle should be substantial.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1434-4726Keywords: Collagen ; Larynx ; Vocal cord paralysis ; RehabilitationSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: MedicineNotes: Summary In 1962, Arnold used injectable Teflon to reintroduce Brünings' technique for rehabilitating the paralysed vocal cord. Although Teflon would not appear to be carcinogenic, the technique is not entirely trouble-free. Injectable collagen as a biological implant seems to be an attractive alternative since it is a component part of the extracellular protein matrix. In actual clinical use, the collagen is easily injectable, is well-tolerated by patients, and is only subject to limited resorption. It also undergoes some transformation into living connective tissue with neovascularization. Our study was carried out on 14 patients: 13 had vocal cord paralyses from various causes and 1 had vocal cord atrophy as a sequel to traumatic injury. The therapeutic indication for correction in all of these patients was dysphonia for which speech therapy had failed to produce an adequate result. One patient was found to suffer from symptomatic aspiration as well. The actual technique of surgery involved the injection of a mean quantity of 1.5 cc collagen into the submucosal tissue of the affected cord during direct laryngoscopy. Postoperatively, all of our patients showed improved dysphonia without secondary effects occurring from the collagen. We also found lessened aspiration in our patient so affected. Our period of follow-up to date ranges from 3–12 months.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Comparative studies of the expression of pOb24 and LPL genes during adipose conversion of Ob1771 preadipocyte cells and in mouse adipose tissue have shown the following: (1) the expression of both genes takes place at confluence; this event can also be triggered by growth arrest of exponentially growing cells at the G1/S stage of the cell cycle; (2) In contrast to glycerol-3°phosphate dehydrogenase mRNA, the emergence of pOb24 and lipoprotein lipase mRNAs requires neither growth hormone or tri-iodothyronine as obligatory hormones nor insulin as a modulating hormone; (3) in mouse adipose tissue, pOb24 mRNA is present at a high level in stromal-vascular cells and at a low level in mature adipocytes, and in contrast LPL mRNAs are preferentially expressed in mature adipocytes. Thus, these two genes do not appear to be regulated in a similar manner, as also shown by the differential inhibition of their expression by tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β ).Additional Material: 5 Ill.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL:
