Soybean genotypic differences in sensitivity of symbiotic nitrogen fixation to soil dehydration

Soybean genotypic differences in sensitivity of symbiotic nitrogen fixation were monitored on the following varieties: Impala (South African Republic), Maverick (USA), Rankoshi No.1h (Japan) and their reactions to the water supply at the beginning of the growth stage R1 and R2 – blooming in an interaction with the Nitrazon inoculation of the seeds before a sowing. Seeding of the particular soybean genotypes was made into the containers whilst 50% of seed corn from each genotype was before the sowing inoculated by the usage of Nitrazon inoculant. Water stress was secured by an irrigation interruption for a 7-day period in the mentioned growth stage. This stress had a negative impact on the relative water content (%RWC) plants, proline content (μmol.g-1Fresh Weight), osmotic potential (MPa), stress index as well as an amount of nodules on the roots by the all monitored varieties. According to an evaluation of the mentioned indicators more significant proline accumulation was confirmed by the genotype Maverick especially by the variant exposed to water deficit (3,25 μmol.g-1FW according to the calculations on 100% RWC) without the inoculant Nitrazon use and inoculating variant 2,99 μmol.g-1Fresh Weight according to calculations on 100% RWC. Genotype Maverick had got the best reaction to water stress and even more noticeable resistance to the stress was monitored in the variant with Nitrazon application in the foregoing seed treatment of soybean seeds. The opposite response to the inoculation was monitored by Impala genotype

The Relationship between Photosynthesis and Irradiance for Gulf of California Phytoplankton

During June 17-28, 1982, we carried on experiments to generate photosynthesis-irradiance curves for phytoplankton from five locations of the central and northern Gulf of California. Using natural sunlight, on board 14C incubations were done with samples collected from five different depths within the euphotic zone. In general there were great vertical changes of variables controlling primary productivity, even in cases where weak vertical TOC gradients indicated high instability and mixing of the euphotic zone. The assimilation number (PBm) had a two fold variation within the mixed layer. In general PBm decreased monotonically with depth due to phytoplankton conditioning to lower irradiances. Surface PBm values had a range of 8 to 15mg C. mg Chl a- 1. h-1. When a thermocline was present, PBm for the bottom of the euphotic zone was about 4 to 10% of that for surface waters. But, without a thermocline, P~ for the bottom of the euphotic zone was ~ 60% of that for surface waters, due to turbulence moving phytoplankton up and down the water column. Diatoms were abundant in three stations near Angel de la Guarda and Tiburon islands. For the station at the central gulf and the one at the very northern gulf, very few nano and microplankton were found with the inverted scope technique, but high chlorophyll concentrations and primary productivity indicated a high abundance of picoplankton. This difference in plankton size composition was not reflected in PBm values. Nutrient concentrations were high and did not limit PBm values. Our PBm values are higher than those reported for the gulf's winter phytoplankton; and they are about two times higher than those for winter phytoplankton of the oceanic region between San Diego and Acapulco. Our Gulf of California integrated primary productivity values had a range of 1.3 to 4.4gC. m-2. d-1

Growth and reproduction of Moina rectirostris (Leydig) and Ceriodaphnia quadrangula (O. F. Muller) with feeding on detritus. [Translation from: Sbornik po prudovomu rybovodstvu, 79-89. Moscow, VNIRO, 1969.]

The significance of detritus in the nutrition of aquatic animals, especially of the small representatives of the zooplankton, has been studied very slightly. Research so far has established that in M. rectirostris with feeding on protococcal and single-celled green algae and bacteria the beginning of formation of eggs takes place in 2 - 4 days. The young appear in 4 - 6 days. In this study M. rectirostris and C. quadrangula are fed on detritus of natural origin in laboratory conditions. In order to determine the assimilability and productive: effect of detritus, the author set up experiments, permitting to characterize the rate of growth, speed of maturing and fertility of M. rectirostris and C. quadrangula with feeding of them on detritus of different composition and age

Rapid Diagnostic Algorithms as a Screening Tool for Tuberculosis: An Assessor Blinded Cross-Sectional Study

Background: A major obstacle to effectively treat and control tuberculosis is the absence of an accurate, rapid, and low-cost diagnostic tool. A new approach for the screening of patients for tuberculosis is the use of rapid diagnostic classification algorithms. Methods: We tested a previously published diagnostic algorithm based on four biomarkers as a screening tool for tuberculosis in a Central European patient population using an assessor-blinded cross-sectional study design. In addition, we developed an improved diagnostic classification algorithm based on a study population at a tertiary hospital in Vienna, Austria, by supervised computational statistics. Results: The diagnostic accuracy of the previously published diagnostic algorithm for our patient population consisting of 206 patients was 54% (CI: 47%–61%). An improved model was constructed using inflammation parameters and clinical information. A diagnostic accuracy of 86% (CI: 80%–90%) was demonstrated by 10-fold cross validation. An alternative model relying solely on clinical parameters exhibited a diagnostic accuracy of 85% (CI: 79%–89%). Conclusion: Here we show that a rapid diagnostic algorithm based on clinical parameters is only slightly improved by inclusion of inflammation markers in our cohort. Our results also emphasize the need for validation of new diagnostic algorithms in different settings and patient populations
