To determine the optimum selection environment for barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) targeted at low-input, stress environment, barley lines were selected for high yield under stress (YS), high yield under non-stress (YNS), or average yield in stress and non-stress conditions (YA) during three breeding cycles (cohorts) of three years each. The lines were then tested in a total of 21 year-location combinations with average grain yields ranging from 0.35 to 4.86 t ha^-1. Yield under stress of the YS lines was between 27% and 54% higher than that of the YNS lines, with the top YS lines yielding under stress between 16% and 30% more than the top YNS lines. Realized heritability was between 0.35 and 0.67 when selection was conducted under stress and was significant in all three cohorts. By contrast, selection under non-stress gave a significant response in only one cohort, and its efficiency in improving yield under stress was significantly lower than selection under stress. The best YNS line ranked only 19th for yield under stress. The highest-yielding lines under stress were not only selected under stress, but were also landraces collected in very dry areas (< 250 mm total annual rainfall). This confirms earlier findings and supports the idea that the most effective way to improve productivity of crops grown in less-favored areas is to use locally adapted germplasm and select in the target environment(s). This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献   

Storage temperature and time influences sensory quality of mandarins by altering soluble solids,acidity and aroma volatile composition

Mandarins are very prone to losing flavor quality during storage and, as a result, often have a short shelf life. To better understand the basis of this flavor loss, two mandarin varieties (‘W. Murcott’ and ‘Owari’) were stored for 0, 3 and 6 weeks at either 0 °C, 4 °C, or 8 °C plus 1 week at 20 °C, and then evaluated for sensory attributes as well as quality parameters and aroma volatile profile. The experiment was conducted multiple times for each variety over two seasons, using three separate grower lots per experiment. Flavor quality was reduced in ‘Owari’ following 4 weeks of storage as off-flavor increased, while for ‘W. Murcott’ the hedonic score decreased after the fruit were stored for 7 weeks. Sensory panelists also noted a decline in tartness during storage for both varieties that was associated with an increase in the ratio of soluble solids concentration (SSC) to titratable acidity (TA). Large increases in alcohols and esters occurred during storage in both varieties, a number of which were present in concentrations in excess of their odor threshold values and are likely contributing to the loss in flavor quality. Thirteen aroma volatiles, consisting mainly of terpenes and aldehydes, declined during storage by up to 73% in ‘Owari’, only one of which significantly changed in ‘W. Murcott’. Although many of these volatiles had aromas characteristic of citrus, their involvement in flavor loss during storage is unclear. ‘W. Murcott’ stored at 8 °C had slightly superior flavor to fruit stored at either 0 °C or 4 °C, and the better flavor was associated with higher SSC/TA and lesser tartness. Aroma volatiles did not play a role in the temperature effect on flavor as there were no significant differences in volatile concentrations among the three temperatures. There was no effect of storage temperature on the flavor of ‘Owari’.  相似文献   

Tetraploid and hexaploid wheats express identical isoforms of nsLTP1     

Capocchi A  Fontanini D  Muccilli V  Cunsolo V  Saviozzi F  Saletti R  Foti S  Galleschi L 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2006,54(6):2372-2377

Nonspecific lipid-transfer proteins (nsLTPs) have been recognized as allergens in several plant species among which are cereals important in human nutrition. In this report, we purified a 9600 +/- 1 Da protein from both soft wheat and farro bran. Mass spectrometric analyses revealed that these proteins are identical, belong to the nsLTP1 class, and have high sequence homology with nsLTP1 isolated from other cereal species. Their identification was further supported by the ability of the soft wheat nsLTP1 to transfer pyrene-labeled lipids between donor and acceptor membranes. The results are discussed in view of the increasing diffusion on the markets of bran-rich products.  相似文献   

Residue levels and storage responses of nectarines, apricots, and peaches after dip treatments with fludioxonil fungicide mixtures     

D'Aquino S  Schirra M  Palma A  Tedde M  Angioni A  Garau A  Cabras P 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2007,55(3):825-831

Mature apricots (Prunus armeniaca), nectarines [Prunus persica var. nectarine (Ait.)], and peaches [P. persica (L.) Batsch.] were subjected to a 2 min dip treatment with warm water at 48 degrees C or with fludioxonil (FLU) at 100 mg L-1 and 20 degrees C or at 25 mg L-1 FLU and 48 degrees C and then stored at 5 degrees C and 90-95% relative humidity (RH) for 1 week plus 1 additional week at 18 degrees C and approximately 80% RH. Fruit residue uptake was determined as a function of fungicide concentration, dip temperature, treatment time (only on nectarines), and fruit storage conditions. FLU residue level was closely related to fungicide concentration and treatment temperatures and was dependent on fruit species. FLU residues showed great persistence over both storage and shelf life. Fruit dipping in water at 48 degrees C effectively reduced decay development in cvs. 'May Grand' nectarines and 'Pelese' apricots but was ineffective in cvs. 'Red Top' and 'Sun Crest' nectarines during 7 days of storage compared with nontreated fruit. Decay rates in cvs. 'Glo Haven' peaches and 'Fracasso' apricots were very low in fruit dipped in water at both 20 and 48 degrees C. Fungicide treatments at 20 and 48 degrees C resulted in the total or almost total suppression of decay in all cultivars. During shelf life, fruit became very prone to decay, averaging 25.7-100% depending on the cultivar. Fruit dipping in hot water effectively reduced decay in 'Pelese' and 'Fracasso' apricots, 'Sun Crest' peaches, and 'May Grand' nectarines as compared to control, but was ineffective in 'Glo Haven' and 'Red Top' peaches. Fungicide treatments at 20 degrees C were more effective than hot water in most cultivars. The combination of FLU with water at 48 degrees C further improved the fungicide performance. Indeed, reduced levels (a fourth) of active ingredient were required to achieve a control of decay comparable to that for treatment at 20 degrees C. Residue levels in fruit after treatment with 100 mg L-1 FLU at 20 degrees C or with 25 mg L-1 FLU at 48 degrees C averaged approximately 0.6-2 mg kg-1, which were notably lower than the maximum residue limit (5 mg kg-1) allowed in the United States for stone fruit.  相似文献   

Detection of bovine leukemia virus in blood and milk by nested and real-time polymerase chain reactions.   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Concerns about retroviruses in livestock and products derived from them have necessitated the development of tests to detect the bovine leukemia virus (BLV) in blood and milk from cattle. Dairy cattle (n = 101) from 5 different geographical areas were used for this study. A nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) identified 98% of BLV seropositive cattle (n = 80) from blood and 65% from milk, whereas real-time PCR detected 94% of BLV seropositive cattle from blood and 59% from milk. Bovine leukemia virus was also detected by PCR in approximately 10% of seronegative cattle (n = 21), most likely because of early detection before seroconversion.  相似文献

New insights into the photoreactivity of the organophosphorus pesticide fenthion: a sigma aryl cation as a key intermediate in the photodecomposition     

Torrisi S  Sortino S 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2004,52(19):5943-5949

The primary photodegradation processes of fenthion (FN), one of the most photosensitive pesticides used in agriculture, have been investigated by combining laser flash photolysis and steady-state measurements. The triplet state of FN is produced quite efficiently (Phi(isc) approximately 0.3). However, this excited state does not seem to trigger the primary photodecomposition pathways of the pesticide. It is demonstrated that FN undergoes photoheterolysis via the excited singlet state and gives the corresponding singlet "sigma aryl cation". Chemical evidence for the generation of this transient species is given by trapping with typical "sigma nucleophiles" such as chloride and methanol. This photodegradation mechanism is, in part, quite different with respect to what is known to date and may account for the formation of the O,O-dimethyl S-[3-methyl-4-(methylthio)phenyl] phosphorothioate discovered as a novel photodegradation product of FN.  相似文献   

Antioxidant characterization of some Sicilian edible wild greens     

Salvatore S  Pellegrini N  Brenna OV  Del Rio D  Frasca G  Brighenti F  Tumino R 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2005,53(24):9465-9471

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that many antioxidants and the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of the diet may protect against cancers and cardiovascular disease. Common fruits and vegetables are good sources of antioxidants, although in some Mediterranean areas traditional wild greens are responsible for a significant percentage of total dietary antioxidant intake. In the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort of Ragusa (Sicily), a high number of subjects were found to frequently eat wild greens, including Sinapis incana and Sinapis nigra, Diplotaxis erucoides, Cichorium intybus, Asparagus acutifolius, and Borrago officinalis. On the basis of these observations, detailed characterization of single antioxidant components (i.e., polyphenols, carotenoids, chlorophylls, and ascorbic acid) and the TAC of these edible wild traditional plants was performed. The wild plants examined were found to be very rich in antioxidants, such as flavonoids and carotenoids, with high TAC values, suggesting that the importance of these vegetables, not only in the traditional but even in the contemporary diet, needs to be emphasized.  相似文献
