Sporocarps stipitate, occasionally subsessile, 0.1–0.35 mm high. Stalk cylindrical, dark brown to black, sometimes very short, 0.03–0.18 mm or absent. Sporotheca subglobose, angular where the peridial platelets meet 0.07–0.2 mm diam., angular, strong yellowish brown (Figs. 9 B – E). Peridium single, light brown by TL, with refuse deposits like dark spots sometimes on the outer surface, inner surface smooth, entirely made up of platelets; dehiscence by 10–15 polygonal platelets (Fig. 9 G). Spores free, strong yellow in mass, yellow by TL, often angular, (9–)10–12(–13) μm diam., roughened by TL (Figs. 9 H – I). Protoplasmodium colourless, becoming milky then yellow. By SEM the inner peridium is smooth except for the margins of the platelets that have a line of warts; the epispore densely warted, except along slightly raised bands (Figs. 9 K – L) with fewer or no warts (like a tennis ball).</p> <p> <i>Material examined</i>: Holotypus.

This species is included in this study because its sporocarps dehisce into platelets and, it sometimes has very short stalks, and may appear sessile. The species was published after our study of the stalked <i>Licea</i> (Wrigley de Basanta & Lado 2005) and therefore was not included there. The strong yellow-brown, subglobose sporotheca, the peridium that fragments into defined polygonal platelets, and the angular spores, distinguish even the sessile sporocarps of this species from others in the group. The closest species to <i>L. eremophila</i> is <i>L. verrucispora</i> D. Wrigley & Lado, but in the latter species the peridium dehisces into irregular fragments, not defined platelets, it has globose spores, not angular ones, and a densely warted inner surface to the peridium.</p>Published as part of <i>Basanta, Diana Wrigley De, Mier, Carlos De & Lado, Carlos, 2023, A taxonomic revision of the species of Licea subg.

Identification of varieties of food grains
No full textGrain of most species are propagated (and even processed) as distinct varieties, each with specific traits, relating to disease tolerance, agronomic characteristics, and processing quality. Throughout the grain chain, the need arises to check on varietal identity. A basic method for this purpose is on-the-spot visual observation of distinguishing characters, but this approach is subjective, requiring significant experience. Laboratory methods are more definitive, but they may require time and centralized facilities. The most popular methods involve the analysis of protein composition or of DNA sequences. Some of these methods are starting to be available for application at the site of grain receipt

Handling from farm to storage terminal
No full textGrain may be used where it is grown (subsistence farming) or on the opposite side of the world from its growth site (international trade). In either case, to preserve its quality, grain must be kept clean, dry, and free of insect contamination. Artificial or natural drying methods may be used. Insects may be controlled with insecticides. Alternatives include the use of fumigants or inert gases
Licea alpina A. Sanchez, G. Moreno, & D. W. Mitch.

Madrid 34: 156 (2010) Figs. 1A–F</p> <p>Sporophores sporocarpic, dispersed or in groups. Sporocarps stalked, sometimes sub-sessile, 0.25–0.8 mm in total height. Hypothallus inconspicuous. Stalk thick and black (0.1–0.3 mm long, 0.05–0.1 mm wide). Sporotheca 0.15– 0.4(–0.5) mm diam., dark brown to black, shining, with distinct pale lines of dehiscence that form a cross at the apex. Peridium double, outer layer of refuse material and the inner layer membranous, closely adhering together; dehiscence by fragmenting into polygonal plates leaving a basal calyculus at the union with the stalk. Spores free, dark brown in mass, olivaceous to olive brown by TL, with a thinner area by TL, subglobose, (14–)15–17 µm diam., smooth. By SEM the inner peridium is densely warted, the platelet margins are warted and paler with fewer inclusions; the epispore is verrucate with small dense warts and larger warts.</p> <p> <i>Material examined</i>: Holotypus. SPAIN. Madrid, Puerto de Navacerrada, UTM 30T-04164516, 2075 m, on stems of Cytisus <i>oromediterraneus,</i> 26-V-2001, AH 28531!.</p> <p> <i>Habitat:</i> nivicolous areas, on stems of shrubs.</p> <p> <i>Distribution:</i> Known only from type locality (Spain).</p> <p> <i>Icon.</i>: Moreno <i>et al.</i> (2010: 157, Figs. 1–16).</p> <p> Notes. The reason to include this normally stipitate species is that it dehisces into platelets, and sub-sessile sporocarps may be confused with sessile species. In addition it was not included in our study of the stalked <i>Licea</i> species (Wrigley de Basanta & Lado 2005). The edges of the platelets in this species have many small warts and less refuse material on the outer surface. The pale dehiscence lines were not as obvious in some sporocarps. Because of its habitat, with its host plant covered in winter and spring by snow, this is a nivicolous species and in fact it looks like a really minute <i>Lamproderma</i> under the stereoscope. The nivicolous habitat, clear silvery dehiscence lines and large spores easily distinguish this species. All these are different from its nearest stipitate species <i>L. pedicellata</i> (H. C. Gilbert) H. C. Gilbert. It is clearly distinguished from <i>L. eremophila</i> D. Wrigley, Lado & Estrada by the larger globose vs. angular spores. The excellent SEM images in the original publication (Moreno <i>et al.</i> 2010) obviated the need to repeat them.</p>Published as part of <i>Basanta, Diana Wrigley De, Mier, Carlos De & Lado, Carlos, 2023, A taxonomic revision of the species of Licea subg.

Perspektywy rozwoju biotechnologii w Polsce
No full textWażnym czynnikiem rozwoju biotechnologii w Polsce są nowoczesne badania naukowe. Artykuł Perspektywy rozwoju biotechnologii w Polsce zwraca uwagę na to, że wiedza z zakresu nauk biologicznych i medycznych przyczynia się do większej konkurencyjności zarówno ośrodków naukowych i badawczych, jak i przedsiębiorstw. Biotechnologiczne projekty naukowo–badawcze realizowane w Polsce nie tworzą jeszcze podstaw do wytwarzania produktów biotechnologicznych w takim zakresie, by polskie przedsiębiorstwa mogły konkurować na rynku międzynarodowych. Jedną z przyczyn, którą analizuje Autor w artykule, jest niewystarczające inwestowanie w rozwój nauki i wsparcie dla małych i średnich firm w sektorze biotechnologii. MSP są najważniejszym elementem rozwoju tego sektora, ponieważ koncentrują się na tworzeniu i rozwoju nowoczesnych produktów biotechnologicznych. Artykuł został podzielony na dwie części: Szanse rozwoju nowoczesnej gospodarki w Polsce bez biotechnologii oraz Edukacja i projekty B+R. Autor finalizuje rozważania, pokazując pozytywny scenariusz dla rozwoju sektora biotechnologicznego w Polsce.Biotechnology uses biological processes in the development of technology or manufacture of a product. It is forecasted that Polish biotechnology industry will exceed very quickly. The technology and science parks in Poland have invested millions Euros to build new laboratories. Polish market is fuelled by increased R&D funding, central and regional governments initiatives. The article on “Polish perspectives of biotechnology development” identifies significant factors for biotechnology project development. It also indicates the examples of government biotechnology initiatives in the world. The author focuses on the statistical analysis of the research and development projects conducted by Polish scientist in scientific laboratories. His main conclusion is that biotechnology will be very important in developing Poland, Polish universities, research and development organizations.Udostępnienie publikacji Wydawnictwa Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego finansowane w ramach projektu „Doskonałość naukowa kluczem do doskonałości kształcenia”.

"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
