Novel sources of pre-harvest sprouting resistance for japonica rice improvement by Lee, Jae-Sung, Chebotarov, Dmytro, McNally, Kenneth L., Pede, Valerien, Setiyono, Tri Deri, Raquid, Rency, Hyun, Woong-Jo, Jeung, Ji-Ung, Kohli, Ajay, Mo, Youngjun

“…Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS), induced by unexpected weather events, such as typhoons, at the late seed maturity stage, is becoming a serious threat to rice production, especially in the state of California, USA, Japan, and the Republic of Korea, where japonica varieties (mostly susceptible to PHS) are mainly cultivated. …”

The Pi40 gene for durable resistance to rice blast and molecular analysis of Pi40-advanced backcross breeding lines by Suh, J.P., Roh, J.H., Cho, Y.C., Han, S.S., Kim, Y.G., Jena, K.K.

“…In all, 4 resistant genotypes, 4 japonica cultivars, and 10 monogenic differential rice genotypes with some known resistance genes were bioassayed in the greenhouse using seven sequential plantings and 29 virulent M. grisea isolates of Korea. The genotypes with the Pi40 gene had <3% diseased leaf area, which was significantly below the disease threshold level of 40% considered for durable blast resistance. …”

Crise economique et changements politiques en Indonesie: premiers effets sur le secteur forestier by Sunderlin, William D.

“…The author reviews the likely effects on the forest sector. (1) Decreased demand for Indonesian plywood from main importers (Japan, South Korea and Taiwan) is largely compensated by increased demand from other countries and Malaysia's decision to restrict its wood product exports. (2) Expansion of agriculture will occur partly at the expense of forest cover: spontaneous clearing by farmers, and large scale clearings for agro-industry plantations, mainly oil palm, then cocoa, coffee, rubber trees, pepper, as well as shrimp ponds in mangroves. (3) Transmigration will probably not slow down, foreign aid compensating for the decline of State aid. (4) Unemployed people in the urban sector migrate to rural areas, and young people in the rural areas remain there which may increase pressure on forests for three reasons: a) incentives to expand plantations for export; b) incentives to produce food crops locally (rice, maize, soya) to reduce imports; c) shortage of capital for inputs, that may encourage extensive agriculture. (5) Expansion of mining in forest areas (coal, iron, and nickel) may lead to degradation of important protection forests. (6) The likely slowdown of major road programmes will reduce their direct and indirect impacts on forests. (7) Policy changes as a prerequisite to IMF loans will have negative effects on forest conservation when they encourage plantations for export (oil palms). (8) President Habibie has launched a wave of policy reforms to remedy former abuses in granting timber concessions, and the resulting forest deterioration. …”

Morphological and molecular characterisation and diagnostics of some species of Scutellonema Andrassy, 1958 (Tylenchida: Hoplolaimidae) with a molecular phylogeny of the genus by Berg, E. van den, Tiedt, L.R., Coyne, Danny L., Ploeg, A.T., Navas-Cortes, J.A., Roberts, P.A., Yeates, G.W., Subbotin, S.A.

“…Molecular analysis using the D2-D3 of 28S rRNA, ITS rRNA and the COI mtDNA gene sequences revealed two distinct genotypes within S. brachyurus samples: type A (samples from USA, Italy, Korea, Taiwan) and type B (South Africa). Multivariate analyses determined that S. brachyurus from the USA and Taiwan (type A) differed from that from South Africa (type B) mainly in body, tail and DGO lengths, and ratios b , c , c and V. …”
