Adding value to milk by increasing its protein and CLA contents

End of project reportThe mid-summer milk protein study was undertaken on 34 commercial dairy farms in 2005 to evaluate the influence of dietary and management variables on milk protein content in mid-season. Data on grass composition, genetic merit of the herds and milk protein content were collected and analysed by multiple regression. Both calving date and genetic merit for milk protein content were significantly associated with milk protein content and were used as adjustment factors when evaluating the association between measures of grass quality and milk protein content. Milk protein content was associated with grass OMD (P = 0.04) and NDF content (P = 0.02) but not with CP content (P = 0.80). It is concluded that herds calving earlier, with a greater genetic merit for milk protein content and consuming better quality pasture would have greater milk protein contents in mid-season

<i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> in the production of whisk(e)y

Whisk(e)y is a major global distilled spirit beverage. Whiskies are produced from cereal starches that are saccharified, fermented and distilled prior to spirit maturation. The strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae employed in whisky fermentations is crucially important not only in terms of ethanol yields, but also for production of minor yeast metabolites which collectively contribute to development of spirit flavour and aroma characteristics. Distillers must therefore pay very careful attention to the strain of yeast exploited to ensure consistency of fermentation performance and spirit congener profiles. In the Scotch whisky industry, initiatives to address sustainability issues facing the industry (for example, reduced energy and water usage) have resulted in a growing awareness regarding criteria for selecting new distilling yeasts with improved efficiency. For example, there is now a desire for Scotch whisky distilling yeasts to perform under more challenging conditions such as high gravity wort fermentations. This article highlights the important roles of S. cerevisiae strains in whisky production (with particular emphasis on Scotch) and describes key fermentation performance attributes sought in distiller’s yeast, such as high alcohol yields, stress tolerance and desirable congener profiles. We hope that the information herein will be useful for whisky producers and yeast suppliers in selecting new distilling strains of S. cerevisiae, and for the scientific community to stimulate further research in this area

Microtubule involvement in the plant low temperature response

Cold acclimation is a complex process where plants acquire increased freezing tolerance following exposure to low, non-freezing temperatures. Microtubules are dynamic components of the cytoskeleton that are essential for plant growth and development, and there are multiple lines of evidence indicating microtubules are involved in the acquisition of freezing tolerance. The organization of microtubules (MTs) was tracked over the course of a cold acclimation period using GFP:TUB6 and fluorescent imaging tools. Experiments found that MTs undergo incomplete, transient disassembly following exposure to acclimating temperatures, which is accompanied by intranuclear tubulin accumulation and followed by MT reassembly. The importance of the observed changes to MT organization was examined with MT disrupting chemicals that caused reduced MT dynamics or induced transient MT disassembly similar to that of cold acclimation. Results of these experiments suggest that MT reorganization is important for cold acclimation, but the disassembly and reassembly do not directly control cold acclimation.MT binding proteins are likely to play a key role in the low temperature response because they control MT activity and organization, participate in low temperature signal transduction pathways, and mediate interactions between various elements of this pathway. By employing a number of proteomics techniques we were able to identify 96 tubulin-binding proteins from untreated and short term cold acclimated Arabidopsis plants. Proteins both known to and predicted to bind to MTs and unexpected MT binding proteins were identified. The identified tubulin binding proteins have a range of cellular functions, including RNA transport and protein translation, stress responses, and functions related to various metabolic pathways, and cell growth and organization. Exposure to low temperatures affected the binding of some of these proteins to MTs with the identified tubulin binding proteins potentially involved in the cold acclimation process and stress response through a number of possible pathways.This study represents the first live cell imaging of MT reorganization in response to low temperatures and the first time microtubule binding proteins from whole plant protein extracts were identified using 1D gel LC-MS/MS analysis

Soil quality in organic cropping systems

Abstract from short.pdf.The objective of this research was to quantify soil quality indicator levels under contrasting organic practices and to provide scientific information that can lead to development of best management practices for organic no-till and transitioning to organic production. Four studies examining crop yield, soil quality and weed control were conducted in Boone County, MO on a Mexico silt loam soil (fine, smectitic, mesic Vertic Epiaqualfs) from 2012-2014. Achieving a cover crop biomass sufficient for weed suppression was a challenge when soil fertility declined under organic rotations. When there was adequate soil moisture and weed control from the cover crop, soybean grown under organic no-till was competitive with tilled treatments. Optimum timing of cover crop crimping for acceptable weed control was more successful in a soybean production system compared with corn. Cover crops tended to mitigate the negative effects of tillage on soil in this study and cover crops impacted soil quality more when grown in conjunction with soybean than with corn or wheat. Germination and emergence of corn in an organic no-till system was significantly impacted by planting times and cover crop termination method. The likely cause of reduced plant density in organic no-till was due to difficulty of planting in cover crops. Plant population was highest in corn planted into a standing cover crop, then decreased as the time between termination and corn planting increased
