TRADITION, QUALITY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY IN HUNGARIAN SPICE PEPPER (Capsicum annuum L.) BREEDING
No full textSpice pepper production has a history of almost 300 years in the southern part of
Hungary. In this study the results of two biotechnological improvements are summarized.
Anther and isolated microspore culture techniques were improved to release haploid and
doubled haploid (DH) lines for spice pepper breeding. Both the anther and isolated
microspore culture methods were successfully used in spice pepper haploid production.
Microspore culture- derived structures were analysed to identify their different parts.
Green plantlets were regenerated from embryos derived from both anther and microspore
cultures. Their doubled haploid analogues were integrated into Hungarian spice pepper
hybrid seed breeding programmes. One hybrid, Sláger, was released as a new genotype for
spice pepper production in 2008 and two hybrid candidates (Délibáb and Bolero) are now
being tested in official trials
Time series modelling and forecasting of Sarawak black pepper price
No full textPepper is an important agriculture commodity especially for the state of Sarawak. It is important to forecast its price, as this could help the policy makers in coming up with production and marketing plan to improve the Sarawak’s economy as well as the farmers’welfare. In this paper, we take up time series modelling and forecasting of the Sarawak black pepper price. Our empirical results show that Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA) time series models fit the price series well and they have correctly predicted the future trend of the price series within the sample period of study. Amongst a group of 25 fitted models, ARMA (1, 0) model is selected based on post-sample forecast criteria.Time series; pepper (Piper nigrum L.); Autoregressive Moving Average model; forecasting; forecast accuracy
EFFECTS OF AGRONOMIC VARIABLES AND HINERITANCE ON AROMATIC COMPONENTS IN BASIL AND CHILI PEPPER
No full textThis PhD Thesis focuses on how aroma profile in crops is affected by agronomic and genetic variables. In the first chapter we considered the effects of salt stress on main morphological and physiological traits of two cultivars of sweet basil (Genovese and Napoletano) Specifically, we focused on compositional changes in aroma profile and their possible significance in adaptation and tolerance to the oxidative stress.
In the second chapter, we considered the aroma profile of two chilli pepper species, Habanero (Capsicum chinenese) and Jalapeño (Capsicum Annuum), at different stages of maturity. Moreover, preliminary results of genetic mapping process were introduced.
Part of this research has been conducted at University of California-Davis (USA)

Sonia Pepper begins by discussing her parents, childhood, education, and work as a young adult. She also talks about collecting for the Jewish Relief Society, the inner workings of that group, the Jewish community in Salt Lake, being involved of the remodeling of Montefiore, and the role of women in the Jewish community. Pepper and Rose talk about the merger of the congregations, the James L. White Jewish Community Center, the United Fund, their social lives, other community members, and programs helping transients. 72 pages

Observing population changes of thrips (Thysanoptera) species damaging forced pepper and their natural enemies
No full textBy the strengthening of environmental protection and food safety efforts in Hungary, integrated and especially biological pest
control methods should increasingly put forward, for which a solid knowledge on the life course and efficiency of natural enemies applied
against certain pests is necessary. Pepper has distinguished significance in domestic vegetable forcing, and the profitability of production is
determined primarily by the efficiency of the control of thrips pests. This is why we attached great importance to study what results may be
expected by introducing arthropod predators (Amblyseius cucumeris, Orius laevigatus) to control thrips species under domestic conditions on
rock wool in a long vegetation period pepper culture. We also liked to find out what kind of role the cultivars play in the change of
phytophagous and zoophagous populations. The A. cucumeris predatory mite introduced in late January proved to be effective in controlling
thrips pests until mid-April. Despite repeated introductions, the predatory bug O. laevigatus (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) did not proliferate.
Among the three pepper cultivars (Hó, Keceli, Titán) grown at Ráckeve, thrips species proliferated in the highest number on cultivar ‘Hó’,
while the population of predatory mites was lowest on the cultivar ‘Titán’, compared to the other two cultivars
Genetic variability of anther donor versus spontaneous doubled haploid descendents and colchicine induced doubled haploid sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) lines
No full textHaploid (n) and doubled haploid (DH) plants were developed in anther culture of sweet pepper
(Capsicum annuum L.). Regenerants were analyzed by flow cytometry for haploid (n = 12)
and spontaneous doubled haploid (2n = 24) genomes. Haploid plants were forwarded to
colchicine-treatment for induced doubled haploid (2n·) plant production. Molecular
polymorphism of anther donor plants (2n), the haploid regenerants (n), the spontaneous (2n) and
induced (2n·)-DH plants were analysed by RAPD-, SSR- and ISSR-PCR. The analysis of
anther-donor plants compared to DH-descendents showed an unexpectedly wide range of
molecular polymorphism. Our results suggest that genetic changes occurring during meiotic
recombination is higher than those of occurring during colchicine-induced genomic duplication

The Ocular Effects of Pepper Spray
No full textRecently, pepper spray has been used by both civilians, as a non-lethal personal defense spray, and law enforcement agencies in population
movements. People exposed to pepper spray experience panic and disorientation due to acute severe pain, blepharospasm, tearing and
sometimes blurred vision and even temporary blindness. Having knowledge about the properties and mechanism of action of pepper spray
and the different aspects of this exposure from other ocular chemical injuries is important for timely and correct interventions and
appropriate management of the condition by the ophthalmologists in emergency care. (Turk J Oph thal mol 2012; 42: 294-7
