Abstract:
Advanced societies owe their success to an efficient division of labour that, in some social insects, is based on specialized worker phenotypes. The system of caste determination in such species is therefore critical. Here, we examine in a leaf-cutting ant ( Acromyrmex echinatior ) how a recently discovered genetic influence on caste determination interacts with the social environment. By removing most of one phenotype (large workers; LW) from test colonies, we increased the stimulus for larvae to develop into this caste, while for control colonies we removed a representative sample of all wor

Abstract:
The polymorphic colony of arboreal weaver ant Oecophylla smaragdina Fabricius has three categories of workers designated as typical, major and minor. The colony structure fluctuated sharply with seasons but the numerical ratio of worker castes always remained as 65:25:10. Typical workers have highest number of sensillae/unit area on the terminal segment of antenna and all the above characters established their role in the colony different from major and minor workers. Microsatellite DNA analysis of worker castes indicated high degree of genetic diversity, heterozygocity and genetic polymorphis

Complex social structure in eusocial insects can involve worker morphological and behavioural differentiation. Neuroanatomical variation may underscore worker division of labour, but the regulatory mechanisms of size-based task specialization in polymorphic species are unknown. The Australian weaver ant, Oecophylla smaragdina , exhibits worker polyphenism: larger major workers aggressively defend arboreal territories, whereas smaller minors nurse brood. Here, we demonstrate that octopamine (OA) modulates worker size-related aggression in O. smaragdina . We found that the brains of majors had s

Polymorphism is the existence of multiple phenotypes within a given species in a population. In social insects, worker polymorphism plays a key role in maximizing the effectiveness of the division of labor. Some ants have an extreme form of worker polymorphism where workers have a broad size range and multiple size modes. Pheidole ants, for example, consist of both highly polymorphic species as well as those with relatively low polymorphism. Here, we examined why different Pheidole species have different degrees of polymorphism and how polymorphism is produced. We thoroughly characterized the

Abstract Further work has been undertaken on the continued to develop a novel chemistry to dissolve iron scale deposits. Laboratory tests showed promising results when applied to actual field deposits with very high dissolution and low corrosion rates. The novel dissolver blend is based upon Tetrakishydroxymethylphosphonium sulphate (THPS), yet little is understood about this chemistry and the synergies it displays. Laboratory studies have been performed investigating the various synergies, the effect of pH, concentration of components and the use of alternative chemistries to THPS. Many types

Objective: This study aimed to assess the CYP2D6*4 polymorphism and the association of this polymorphism with the evolution of breast cancer since the reduction of the CYP2D6 activity due to polymorphisms of the gene that encodes the enzyme or the use of inhibitory drugs has been linked to reduced levels of endoxifen (EDF) and worse prognosis in women treated with tamoxifen (TAM). The treatment is multidisciplinary; TAM is an established and important therapeutic modality. This drug is metabolized by the CYP2D6 enzyme into its active metabolites, 4-hydroxytamoxifen (HTF), and EDF. Methods: The

Abstract:
The acid content of the juice sac cells is a major determinant of maturity and fruit quality in citrus. Many citrus varieties accumulate acid in concentrations that exceed market desires, reducing grower income and consumer satisfaction. Pulp acidity is thought to be dependent on two mechanisms: the accumulation of citric acid in the vacuoles of the juice sac cells, and acidification of the vacuole. The major aim of the project was to direct effort toward understanding the mechanism of citric acid accumulation in the fruit. The following objectives were suggested: Measure the activity of enzym

Genetic analysis and mapping in grapes has been difficult because of the long generation period and paucity of genetic markers. In the present work, chromosome linkage maps were developed with RAPD, RFLP and isozyme loci in interspecific hybrid cultivars, and RAPD markers were produced in a V. vinifera population. In three cultivars, there were 19 linkage groups as expected for a species with 38 somatic chromosomes. These maps were used to locate chromosome regions with linkages to important genes, including those influencing powdery mildew and botrytis bunch rot resistance; flower sex; and be

Abstract:
Bread wheat is the second most important food crop, providing calories to half of the world population and roughly one-fifth of the calories and protein consumed by people worldwide. Crop losses to insect pests depress yields and climate change is expected to significantly increase this problem. To combat global food insecurity, the protection of crops from insect pests must be prioritized. The Bird cherry-oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi, is the most abundant and economically important cereal pest, causes up to 40-60 % yield loss through direct feeding and vectoring plant diseases.

Abstract:
Drought stress is a major limitation to bread wheat (Triticumaestivum L.) productivity and its yield stability in arid and semi-arid regions of world including parts of Israel and the U.S. Currently, breeding for sustained yields under drought stress is totally dependent on the use of yield and several key physiological attributes as selection indices. The attempt to identify the optimal genotype by evaluating the phenotype is undermining progress in such breeding programs. Osmotic adjustment (OA) is an effective drought resistance mechanism in many crop plants. Evidence exists that there is a

Fruit of these species, and types within species, exhibit extensive diversity as evidenced by variation in size, shape, color, flavor, and others. Fruit size and shape are critical quality determinants that delineate uses and market classes and are key traits under selection in breeding programs. However, the underlying genetic bases for variation in fruit size remain to be determined. A few species the Cucurbitaceae family were

Genetic resistance is often the least expensive, most effective, and ecologically-sound method of disease control. It is becoming apparent that plant genomes contain large numbers of disease resistance genes.

Abstract:
During the evolutionary process of speciation in plants, naturally occurring barriers to reproduction have developed that affect the transfer of genes within and between related species. These barriers can occur at several different levels beginning with pollination-barriers and ending with hybrid-breakdown. The interaction between pollen and pistils presents one of the major barriers to intra- and inter-specific crosses and is the focus of this research project.
