Emergence of prosodic boundary: Continuous effects of temporal affordance on inter-gestural timing
No full textBenus S, Simko J. Emergence of prosodic boundary: Continuous effects of temporal affordance on inter-gestural timing. Journal of Phonetics. 2014;44:110-129.The bulk of our current knowledge about articulatory/acoustic signatures of prosodic structure comes from paradigms that elicit discrete prosodic variation intentionally produced by subjects. In this paper, we collect speech elicited through continuous variation in tempo and hypo-hyper articulation, and analyze spontaneous emergence of high-level prosodic boundaries as a means of resolving low-level tempo and precision demands. Our data show that as the area of structural affordance for a prosodic boundary comes under decreasing temporal pressure, the temporal coordination patterns of the gestures in the vicinity of this affordance get continuously rearranged. This re-arrangement is comprehensively captured with the optimization-based embodied task dynamics platform (Simko & Cummins, 2010, 2011), in which this phenomenon can be modeled in terms of localized changes in relative demands on articulatory efficiency, perceptual clarity, and minimal duration, and the optimal resolution of these demands.

Mapping loci for chlorosis associated with chlorophyII b deficiency in potato
No full textAbout 30% of the potato plants from a (Solanum tuberosum × S. berthaultii) × S. tuberosum backcross population had chlorotic, malformed leaves; but a gradation in symptom severity suggested regulation by more than one gene. The study was undertaken to determine whether this was the case, whether any genes previously reported to control chlorosis in potato were involved, and to see how symptoms were related to effects on chlorophyll content. Testing for quantitative trait loci indicated major control by a single recessive gene on chromosome 1, close to one or more loci that have been reported to produce chlorosis in tomato, but distinct from similar genes previously identified in potato. The proposed symbol for the potato gene that confers phenotype with chlorotic and malformed leaves is cml (chlorotic and malformed leaves). The effects of this gene appeared to be accentuated by a second gene, located on chromosome 12. Chlorotic plants showed a 50% decrease in chlorophyll b level in the affected parts of leaves. It is concluded that cml is different from previously reported genes for chlorosis in potato, that at least one other gene modifies the intensity of symptom expression, and that the observed chlorosis is produced through effects on chlorophyll b level
Genomics and Marker-Assisted Improvement of Vegetable Crops
No full textVegetables are an integral part of the human diet worldwide. Traditional breeding approaches have been used extensively to develop new cultivars of vegetables with desirable characteristics, including resistance/tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, high yield, and an elevated content of compounds beneficial to human health. The technological progress since the early 1980s has revolutionized our ability to study and manipulate genetic variation in crop plants. The development of high-throughput sequencing platforms and accompanying analytical methods have led to sequencing and assembly of a large number of plant genomes, construction of dense and ultra-dense molecular linkage maps, identification of structural variants, and application of molecular markers in breeding programs. Linkage mapping and genome-wide association mapping studies have been used to identify chromosomal locations of genes and QTLs associated with plant phenotypic variations important for crop improvement. This review provides up-to-date information on the status of genomics and marker-assisted improvement of vegetable crops with the focus on tomato, pepper, eggplant, lettuce, spinach, cucumber, and chicory. For each vegetable crop, we present the most recent information on genetic resources, mapping populations, genetic maps, genome sequences, mapped genes and QTLs, the status of marker-assisted selection and genomic selection, and discuss future research prospects and application of novel techniques and approaches
