We also found that the expression of a number of microRNAs was altered in response to PCUN or PIUN and that there is evidence that these changes may underlie the changes in the protein abundance of key regulators of hepatic fatty acid β-oxidation in the PCUN and PIUN groups. Therefore, embryo number and the timing of maternal undernutrition in early pregnancy have a differential impact on hepatic microRNA expression and on the factors that regulate hepatic fatty acid oxidation and lipid synthesis.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:22:08 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42991 100 countries, and their distribution is extensive and widespread in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. In order to meet the challenges of global food security, it is imperative to bring barren salt-affected soils under cultivation. Various inorganic and organic amendments are used to reclaim the salt-affected lands. The selection of a sustainable ameliorant is largely determined by the site-specific geographical and soil physicochemical parameters. Recently, biochar (solid carbonaceous residue, produced under oxygen-free or oxygen-limited conditions at temperatures ranging from 300 to 1000 ^OC) has attracted considerable attention as a soil amendment. An emerging pool of knowledge shows that biochar addition is effective in improving physical, chemical and biological properties of salt-affected soils. However, some studies have also found an increase in soil salinity and sodicity with biochar application at high rates. Further, the high cost associated with production of biochar and high application rates remains a significant challenge to its widespread use in areas affected by salinity and sodicity. Moreover, there is relatively limited information on the long-term behavior of salt-affected soils subjected to biochar applications. The main objective of the present paper was to review, analyze and discuss the recent studies investigating a role of biochar in improving soil properties and plant growth in salt-affected soils. This review emphasizes that using biochar as an organic amendment for sustainable and profitable use of salt-affected soils would not be practicable as long as low-cost methods for the production of biochar are not devised.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:22:05 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41361 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:22:01 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42992 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:21:39 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45560 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:21:35 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40220 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:21:32 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44660 Scytonema crispum, CAWBG524 and CAWBG72, isolated in New Zealand. Each strain was previously reported to have a distinct paralytic shellfish toxin profile, a rare observation between strains within the same species. Sequencing of the saxitoxin biosynthetic clusters (sxt) from S. crispum CAWBG524 and S. crispum CAWBG72 revealed the largest sxt gene clusters described to date. The distinct toxin profiles of each strain were correlated to genetic differences in sxt tailoring enzymes, specifically the open-reading frame disruption of the N-21 sulfotransferase sxtN, adenylylsulfate kinase sxtO, and the C-11 dioxygenase sxtDIOX within S. crispum CAWBG524 via genetic insertions. Heterologous overexpression of SxtN allowed for the proposal of saxitoxin and 3′-phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphosulfate as substrate and cofactor, respectively, using florescence binding assays. Further, catalytic activity of SxtN was confirmed by the in vitro conversion of saxitoxin to the N-21 sulfonated analog gonyautoxin 5, making this the first known report to biochemically confirm the function of a sxt tailoring enzyme. Further, SxtN could not convert neosaxitoxin to its N-21 sulfonated analog gonyautoxin 6, indicating paralytic shellfish toxin biosynthesis most likely occurs along a predefined route. In this study, we identified key steps toward the biosynthetic conversation of saxitoxin to other paralytic shellfish toxins.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:21:29 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47650 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:21:26 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47672 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:21:16 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40196 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:21:11 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47709 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:21:00 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42884 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:20:48 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44633 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:20:44 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36282 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:20:41 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42610 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:20:37 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47549 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:20:35 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41855 Mn>Pb>Cd>As.

In contrast, the sparingly soluble Ca-bound P (HCl-Pi) increased from 25–31% under wheat cultivation to 41–50% under flooded rice (paddy) cultivation where reducing conditions are expected to prevail under submerged paddy soil conditions. The crop rotation not only altered the sparingly available P fraction but also influenced soil labile P, especially the organic P form. Compared with the rice soil, a 4-fold increase in the labile P fraction (NaHCO₃-Po) was observed in wheat soil. The moderately labile P fraction (NaOH-extractable) showed a similar trend to that of labile P pool, but the increased NaOH-Po in wheat soil was relatively small. The relatively rapid change in the residual P fraction was attributed to oxidation-reduction cycles of Fe oxides between flooded (rice) and aerobic (wheat) soil conditions. Conclusions: Wetting and drying cycles associated with a rice-wheat crop rotation promoted the transformation of the sparingly soluble soil P fraction between crops, which was attributed to changes in soil redox conditions, particularly Fe cycling. This indicated that the rice-wheat crop rotation can draw upon the sparingly soluble P fraction for crop production, thus relying less on fertilizer-applied P.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:57:36 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40609 Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:57:32 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41187 Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:57:27 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40177 K_c) based on multiple published relationships. These are combined through the FAO56 methodology using gridded rainfall and two reference evapotranspiration (ET_o) products to find actual evapotranspiration as AET = ET_o x K_c, providing six ET_o-K_c combinations. Results indicate this study method can effectively assess irrigation water use over a range of catchment sizes from ~6000 to ~600,000 ha, although issues arise when regions have a designated low allocation volume for that season (less than40%). Comparisons with the Standardised Precipitation Index (SPI) and Evaporative Stress Index (ESI) show that the proposed method is robust to the rapid onset and short-term droughts, However, its performance was poor during the long term droughts with low water allocation years. The study results during these years has been predominately attributed to water stress in certain crops being undetected, agricultural managers skipping annual crop commodities as well as stock and domestic water use making up larger portions of total water use. This is a limitation of this approach, although when only comparing results in years with greater than 40% allocations, the results improved significantly showing it can monitor water use effectively. When adequate water is available, this approach is able to accurately predict irrigation water use for the sites examined.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:57:23 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48651 Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:57:20 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38821 DNAJB11 were recently described in seven pedigrees with atypical clinical presentations of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. DNAJB11 encodes one of the main cofactors of the endoplasmic reticulum chaperon BiP, a heat-shock protein required for efficient protein folding and trafficking. Here we conducted an international collaborative study to better characterize the DNAJB11-associated phenotype. Thirteen different loss-of-function variants were identified in 20 new pedigrees (54 affected individuals) by targeted next-generation sequencing, whole-exome sequencing or whole-genome sequencing. Amongst the 77 patients (27 pedigrees) now in total reported, 32 reached end stage kidney disease (range, 55-89 years, median age 75); without a significant difference between males and females. While a majority of patients presented with non-enlarged polycystic kidneys, renal cysts were inconsistently identified in patients under age 45. Vascular phenotypes, including intracranial aneurysms, dilatation of the thoracic aorta and dissection of a carotid artery were present in four pedigrees. We accessed Genomics England 100,000 genomes project data, and identified pathogenic variants of DNAJB11 in nine of 3934 probands with various kidney and urinary tract disorders. The clinical diagnosis was cystic kidney disease for eight probands and nephrocalcinosis for one proband. No additional pathogenic variants likely explaining the kidney disease were identified. Using the publicly available GnomAD database, DNAJB11 genetic prevalence was calculated at 0.85/10.000 individuals. Thus, establishing a precise diagnosis in atypical cystic or interstitial kidney disease is crucial, with important implications in terms of follow-up, genetic counseling, prognostic evaluation, therapeutic management, and for selection of living kidney donors.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:57:16 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40536 Medicago. Abstract: Legume seeds provide a significant oil alternative to meat fat needs. Increasing demand for oil nutrition in the context of sustainable crop production has stimulated the exploration of legume seed oil storage regulation. This study investigated the cellular characteristics of seed oil storage using three legume species i.e. Medicago truncatula, Glycine max and Pongamia pinnata representing different oil/protein ratios, and then examined in vitro approaches for assessing strategies in enhancing seed oil storage. A greater range of oil body sizes was in higher oil/protein content species, with highest species having the largest oil bodies; and the smallest oil body size being relatively similar across species, suggesting that the arrangement of oil body size may be factor in mediating oil content. The expression of four key transcription factors i.e. LEC1, L1L, FUS3 and ABI3, and four oleosin genes in determining seed oil content was compared in vivo and in vitro using somatic embryos in Medicago, along with cellular evidence of oil bodies in somatic embryos, indicating that somatic embryos may be suitable models for rapid assessment of seed oil enhancement. This study revealed the cellular characteristics for legume seed oil storage with different nutritional compositions, and identified the associated molecular basis for boosting seed oil storage via regulating oil body size. In addition, somatic embryogenesis may be an effective system for examining oil production by modifying the expression of candidate genes prior to in vivo testing.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:57:05 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54094 Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:57:02 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39632 Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:56:57 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41745 Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:56:53 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47725 2 emission into the atmosphere along with the soil respiratory CO₂ fluxes but is comparatively less studied than the organic C mineralisation processes. This study aims to understand how soil available carbonates influence the soil C dynamics under different tillage, mulching and temperature regimes. A 90-day incubation experiment was conducted by adding calcite nodules to soils (10% w/w) collected from an agricultural field maintained with or without 5 t ha⁻¹ mulching under no-till (NT) or conventional tillage (CT) systems. Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM) examination indicated greater morphological changes in the calcite nodules incubated with CT than NT soils. Soil samples incubated with calcite and mulching recorded 6.3% greater CO₂ evolution than the un-mulched condition. Under the CT system, the overall CO₂ emission rate was higher in the control treatment (43%), followed by a combined treatment of 5 t ha⁻¹ mulch + CaCO₃ (10% w/w) (29.2%), 5 t ha⁻¹ mulch only treatment (27.9%), and 10% CaCO₃ (w/w) (16.5%) treatment, with a rise in incubation temperature from 22 °C to 37 °C. Kinetic model calculations for CO₂ emission indicated a greater half-life of easily mineralisable C pools in the NT system at 22 °C. Microbial biomass carbon (MBC) results further verified that the high temperature and disturbed soil conditions limit the availability of soil MBC under the CT systems, indicating a higher decomposition rate. Eventually, these results indicated that agricultural management practices, including tillage shift, explicitly influence the different functional components of soil organic matter (SOM).]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:56:49 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40418 Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:56:44 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41749 -1y^-1 to 1.89 Mg C ha^-1 y^-1.

At 3- months post treatment, both groups still showed nutritional symptoms that require nutritional intervention so ongoing nutritional support is essential.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:53:13 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39531 Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:53:10 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49641 Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:52:45 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39334 Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:52:29 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42372 Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:52:25 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45370 Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:52:21 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51658 pure citral > LSTT, with 1000 μL L−1 LM EO the optimal treatment. The greater response of LM over LSTT EO was attributed to its higher concentration of citral but the greater effect over citral suggested some minor constituent(s) of LM EO also had antifungal activity. While the 120 sec dips caused severe rind injury, a 30 sec dip in 1000 µL L−1 LM EO generated only slight injury and inhibited fungal wastage in Valencia and Navel oranges, mandarins and lemons. A 10 sec dip did not cause rind injury but was less effective for mould inhibition. The findings suggest LM EO as an alternative to synthetic fungicides to inhibit wastage in citrus during storage, particularly for organic produce.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:52:11 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46382 Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:51:54 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45291 Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:51:46 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48206 Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:51:42 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41938 Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:51:37 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46301 −1 lamb meat, and 0.28 pg g(⁻¹-2.75 ng g⁻¹ bovine meat), heavy metals (0.5–33.0 mg kg⁻¹ lettuce), organochlorine pesticides (11–199 μg g⁻¹ carrots), cyclodienes, hexachlorocyclohexanes, hexabromocyclododecane (2–3 times higher than in conventionally produced porcine meat), hexachlorobenzene (1.38–14.49 ng g⁻¹ fat in milk), and non-brominated flame retardants (1.3–3.2 times higher than in conventional produce of greenhouse-grown tomato and cucumber). Moreover, some pollutants like per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances with a longer half-life (1.50–9.10 yrs) are reported to occur in several organic products. In fact, several legacy persistent organic pollutants are known for their significant trophic magnification in an urban terrestrial ecosystem. In addition, many plant functionalities are adversely affected in organic farming. Therefore, the long-term usage of organic products containing such pollutants poses a significant threat to human health. The major limitation in organic livestock production is the severe shortage of organic feed. Several variable standards and technical regulations set by the government and private agencies are the major obstacles in the global marketing of organic products. The present review critically addresses the impact of organic farming on hidden risks due to the use of composts as the amendment resources that enhance the phytoaccumulation and trophic transfer of pollutants, the functional diversity of the ecosystems, and poor harmonization among the policies and regulations in different countries for organic farming. The future directions of research have been suggested to mitigate unintended flows of pollutants into the organic products.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:51:33 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42785 Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:51:29 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42764 Wed 13 Mar 2024 19:14:39 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48906 Wed 13 Mar 2024 19:14:19 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39553 Wed 13 Mar 2024 19:11:40 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51436 Wed 13 Mar 2024 19:08:05 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54248 Wed 13 Mar 2024 19:08:00 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50554 Wed 13 Mar 2024 19:04:39 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53215 Wed 13 Mar 2024 19:03:25 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40301 Wed 13 Mar 2024 18:28:33 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40251 Wed 13 Mar 2024 18:27:24 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40313 Wed 13 Mar 2024 11:20:50 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53379 Wed 13 Mar 2024 08:54:08 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39346 Tue 14 May 2024 08:37:30 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55007 Thu 28 Mar 2024 13:58:38 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54809 65 years) was 32.4 (SD=9.8). As the severity of household food insecurity increased, ARFS total decreased. Marginally food insecure respondents reported a mean ARFS score three points lower than food-secure adults (B=-2.7; 95%CI [-5.11, -0.34]; p=0.03), and reduced by six points for moderately (B=-5.6; 95%CI [-7.26, -3.90]; p<0.001) and twelve points for severely food insecure respondents (B=-11.5; 95%CI [-13.21, -9.78]; p<0.001). Marginally food insecure respondents had significantly lower vegetable sub-scale scores, moderately food insecure respondents had significantly lower sub-scale scores for all food groups except dairy, severely food insecure respondents had significantly lower scores for all sub-scale scores. Conclusions: Poorer diet quality is evident in marginally, moderately, and severely food insecure adults. Interventions to reduce food insecurity and increase diet quality are required to prevent poorer nutrition-related health outcomes in food-insecure populations in Australia.]]> Thu 14 Mar 2024 14:10:39 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40545 Agricultural Competitiveness White Paper and an associated funding initiative, the Managing Farm Risk Program (MFRP). One underpinning assumption in these policy documents is that grain farmers' access to crop insurance for climate-implicated production risks, including drought, would enhance grain farmers' resilience. We argue that the engagement of the White Paper and MFRP documents with resilience is superficial and substitutes a flawed faux resilience through: (i) articulating particular 'uncontrollable' threats to which farmers must be resilient; (ii) unburdening government from any substantive responsibility to mitigate these same threats, and; (iii) specifying normative prescriptions for how farmers should enact resilience. Rather than discarding the resilience concept entirely, we look again to foundational theoretical scholarship and bring attention anew to the critical role productive novelty plays in resilience. We suggest that in agricultural contexts, productive novelty is analogous to on-farm tinkering; we further argue that policy frameworks which support farmers' own generative capacity for productive novelty, i.e. creating space for farmers to tinker, may prove a more promising way to foster farmers' resilience.]]> Mon 13 May 2024 11:58:29 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51196 Mon 13 May 2024 10:04:43 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54847 Fri 15 Mar 2024 17:00:44 AEDT ]]>
