Cisgenesis: an important sub-invention for traditional plant breeding companies
No full textModern plant breeding is highly dependent on new technologies to master future problems. More traits have to be combined, frequently originating from wild species. Traditional breeding is connected with linkage drag problems. The crop plant itself and its crossable species represent the traditional breeders gene pool. GM-breeding is a new way of improving existing varieties. Transgenes originate from non-crossable species and are representing a new gene pool. For release of GM-plants into the environment and onto the market in Europe Directive 2001/18/EC has been developed, primarily based on GM-technology and not on gene source. In society, opposition against GM crops is complicating the implementation of GM crops. In this paper, it is shown that not only transgenes, representing a new gene pool but also cisgenes and intragenes are available, representing the breeders gene pool. Cisgenes are natural genes and intragenes are composed of functional parts of natural genes from the crop plant itself or from crossable species. Cisgenesis is the combined use of only cisgenes with marker-free transformation, mimicking linkage drag free introgression breeding in one step. Therefore, cisgenesis is a new sub-invention in the traditional breeding field and indicates the need for reconsideration of GM Directives. Inventions are frequently containing not only hardware elements, but also software and orgware elements. For cisgenesis it is foreseen that the technical (hardware) and bioinformatic (software) elements will develop smoothly, but that implementation in society is highly dependent on acceptance and regulations (orgware). It could be made in a step by step approach by specific crop-gene derogations from the Directive, followed by adding cisgenesis to annex 1b of Directive 2001/18/EC for exemption. At present GM crops can only be introduced by large companies. An open innovation approach for cisgenesis by public private partnership including traditional SMEs has been discussed. Cisgenesis has been exemplified for resistance breeding of potato to Phytophthtora infestans
Gene-targeted deletion in mice of the Ets−1 transcription factor, a candidate gene in the Jacobsen syndrome kidney “critical region,” causes abnormal kidney development
No full textEts-1 is a member of the Ets family of transcription factors and has critical roles in multiple biological functions. Structural kidney defects occur at an increased frequency in Jacobsen syndrome (OMIM #147791), a rare chromosomal disorder caused by deletions in distal 11q, implicating at least one causal gene in distal 11q. In this study, we define an 8.1 Mb “critical region” for kidney defects in Jacobsen syndrome, which spans ~50 genes. We demonstrate that gene-targeted deletion of Ets-1 in mice results in some of the most common congenital kidney defects occurring in Jacobsen syndrome, including: duplicated kidney, hypoplastic kidney, and dilated renal pelvis and calyces. Taken together, our results implicate Ets-1 in normal mammalian kidney development and, potentially, in the pathogenesis of some of the most common types of human structural kidney defects
Helsinki Seagulls
No full textResearch background: This song resulted from a songwriting workshop co-facilitated by Naomi Sunderland (Griffith University), Kristina Jacobsen (University of New Mexico), and Klisala Harrison (University of Helsinki). The workshop facilitated place-based, sense-bound song writing with refugees and asylum seekers who have experienced significant trauma drawing on previous research and creative work by the facilitators. The research investigated participants' experiences of using sense bound songwriting and how they felt before and after the workshop.
Research contribution: The research contribution is primarily in applying trauma informed practice models from social work and psychotherapy to song writing and community music. In addition to three original songs and recordings that emerged from the project the facilitators have published a peer reviewed article.
Research significance: The literature review for this project confirms that there is a vast need to respond to participants' experiences of trauma in sensitive and informed ways in community music settings. This project applied sensory ethnographic and trauma informed ways of working in a community music context in partnership with local service providers. This work is one of only nine published articles that directly relate to these topics currently available. Networks formed during this project are ongoing and have resulted in a community radio podcast produced by one of the participants about the songwriting workshop and ongoing collaborations between participating musicians.No Full Tex
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
An emergency banana disease in East Africa
No full textThe Crop Crisis Control Project (C3P) worked in six East African countries (Uganda, Burundi, DR Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, and Tanzania) to stem the advance of BXW, a bacterial disease of banana that emerged after 2001. Bananas and plantains were (and still are) important commercial and food security crops in the region. All local banana and plantain varieties were susceptible to BXW. The project implementers and donors thought of the disease as an emergency. In response, the project proposed what seemed like an appropriate technology to clean planting material: macropropagation (to distinguish it from its rival, TC, which is micropropagation). To macropropagate a banana plant, the farmer takes a healthy banana corm, strips away the outer leaf sheaths, destroys the primary sprout, and then plants the corm in sterile, humid sawdust in a shaded nursery, after which axillary buds will sprout. Many farmers were taught the importance of using clean planting material, but macropropagation was too time-consuming and labor-intensive to meet all of the farmer demand for seed bananas. After the project ended, researchers (who were paying attention to farmers) learned of easier ways to manage BXW. Farmers observed that a wilting banana plant still produced at least some healthy suckers, which could be used as planting material. Suckers that looked healthy probably were healthy, and could be planted, eliminating the need for tedious macropropagation
