2020 journal article

Bacterial exposure leads to variable mortality but not a measurable increase in surface antimicrobials across ant species

PEERJ, 8.

By: O. Halawani n, R. Dunn n, A. Grunden n & A. Smith n

author keywords: Entomopathogen; Metapleural gland; Social immunity; Bacterial exposure; Social insects; Sociobiology; Antimicrobial
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the susceptibility to bacteria is varied across ant species, and variation may correlate with an ant species’ use of surface antimicrobials, as significant mortality effects in species which also were producing antimicrobial compounds are found. (via Semantic Scholar)

Vine Removal Prior to Harvest, and Curing Duration and Temperature Affect the Incidence and Severity of Internal Necrosis in 'Covington' Sweetpotato

HORTTECHNOLOGY, 30(5), 544–551.

author keywords: Ipomoea batatas; mowing; preharvest; postharvest; potassium fertilizer; storage; vine snatching
TL;DR: Preharvest potash fertilizer treatments had minimal or no effect on occurrence of internal necrosis, however, mowing vines before harvest in several studies reduced IN incidence when roots were cured for more than 0.5 week at temperatures of at least 75 °F. (via Semantic Scholar)

2020 journal article

Effect of bicyclopyrone herbicide on sweetpotato and Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri)

WEED TECHNOLOGY, 34(4), 552–559.

author keywords: Greenhouse; weed control; crop injury; interference
TL;DR: Sweetpotato plant injury and stunting increased, and vine length and shoot dry weight decreased with increasing rate of bicyclopyrone regardless of clone or application timing. (via Semantic Scholar)

2020 journal article

Critical timing of Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) removal in sweetpotato

WEED TECHNOLOGY, 34(4), 547–551.

author keywords: Critical period of weed control; competition; control; interference
TL;DR: The results show that Palmer amaranth is highly competitive with sweetpotato and should be managed as early as possible in the season, and the requirement of an early critical timing of weed removal to prevent yield loss emphasizes the importance of early-season scouting.

Thermostable endoglucanase gene derived by amplification from the genomic DNA of a cellulose-enriched mixed culture from mudspring water of Mt. Makiling, Laguna, Philippines

WORLD JOURNAL OF MICROBIOLOGY & BIOTECHNOLOGY, 36(3).

By: R. Tambalo*, A. Raymundo* & A. Grunden n

author keywords: Endoglucanase; Saccharolobus; Mt; Makiling mudspring; Lignocellulose hydrolysis; Thermophiles
MeSH headings : Amino Acid Sequence; Archaea / enzymology; Archaea / genetics; Bacteria / enzymology; Bacteria / genetics; Base Sequence; Cellulase / genetics; Cellulase / metabolism; Cellulose / metabolism; Cloning, Molecular; DNA; Enzyme Stability; Escherichia coli / genetics; Genomics; Hydrogen-Ion Concentration; Molecular Weight; Philippines; Recombinant Proteins; Sequence Alignment; Sulfolobales / enzymology; Sulfolobales / genetics; Temperature; Water / metabolism; Water Microbiology
TL;DR: The thermo-acid stable endoglucanase gene can be used in a supplementary hydrolysis step to further hydrolyze the lignocellulosic materials that were previously treated under high temperature-dilute acid conditions, thereby enhancing the release of more glucose sugars for bioethanol production.
