The Circadian Clock Regulates Auxin Signaling and Responses in Arabidopsis
The circadian clock plays a pervasive role in the temporal regulation of plant physiology, environmental responsiveness, and development. In contrast, the phytohormone auxin plays a similarly far-reaching role in the spatial regulation of plant growth and development. Went and Thimann noted 70 years ago that plant sensitivity to auxin varied according to the time of day, an observation that they could not explain. Here we present work that explains this puzzle, demonstrating that the circadian clock regulates auxin signal transduction. Using genome-wide transcriptional profiling, we found many auxin-induced genes are under clock regulation. We verified that endogenous auxin signaling is clock regulated with a luciferase-based assay. Exogenous auxin has only modest effects on the plant clock, but the clock controls plant sensitivity to applied auxin. Notably, we found both transcriptional and growth responses to exogenous auxin are gated by the clock. Thus the circadian clock regulates some, and perhaps all, auxin responses. Consequently, many aspects of plant physiology not previously thought to be under circadian control may show time-of-day–specific sensitivity, with likely important consequences for plant growth and environmental responses.

Anaerobic Stress: Crop plants require a free exchange of atmospheric gases for photosynthesis and respiration. Like animals, plants can be easily suffocated if this gas exchange is impeded. The most common impediment to gas diffusion is water that saturates the root environment in poorly drained soils or that accumulates above soil capacity as a result of the overflow of rivers, excessive rainfall or excessive irrigation.

Soybean EST Project Home Page
The objectives of this project are to clone and decode 300,000 genes. We will do this by cloning and decoding the messages of the genes. Since different plant parts and different stages of development will contain different gene messages, we will clone these messages from many different stages and organs. The cloned gene messages will be individually decoded and the codes will be made available to the public. The clones will also be made available to the public. Since this will result in a vast amount of information we are developing computer programs to help scientist glean the data for valuable information.
Specific Aims
To assemble a team of researchers that will work together to build and use a national soybean genetic resource for the betterment of the soybean industry
To develop cDNA libraries (gene messages) and gene sequences (300,000) for genes of economic importance
To use cDNA sequences to build upon and expand the scope and usefulness of the current soybean genome project through gene discovery
To test a novel strategy for identifying genes not usually identified in `standard' EST projects
To develop computerized methods to efficiently query, sort and generally make useful the vast amounts of raw data generated by the project
To make available at the earliest possible date, to all interested parties, research results (sequence information, clones, etc.) pertaining to the project

Nueva base de datos sobre composición de los cultivos
El Instituto de de Ciencias de la Vida (ILSI, International Life Sciences Institute) informa que ya está disponible la versión 3.0 de su base de datos de composición de los cultivos, desarrollada para ofrecer información actualizada acerca de la variabilidad natural que existe en los cultivos convencionales, y para servir como referencia en la evaluación de nuevos cultivos, como los transgénicos. Los estudios sobre la composición de los alimentos para consumo humano y animal son considerados un elemento esencial en la evaluación de riesgo de nuevas variedades, incluyendo las desarrolladas a través de la biotecnología. La información obtenida en tales estudios se usa para determinar las similitudes y diferencias en nutrientes y anti-nutrientes importantes. Los datos de composición de los cultivos se obtuvieron a partir de estudios realizados por miembros de la industria agro-biotecnológica, durante varios años y en varios lugares del mundo. La información recolectada en la base de datos incluye datos correspondientes a numerosos parámetros bioquímicos, como la composición centesimal, aminoácidos, lípidos, carbohidratos, vitaminas clave y anti-nutrientes. La versión 3.0 de la base de datos es una extensión de las versiones previas y contiene aproximadamente 118.000 datos (data-points) a los que se puede acceder y seleccionar a través de un buscador. Los análisis de las muestras se hicieron usando métodos estadísticos validados, muchos de ellos pertenecientes a los AOAC Official Methods of Analysis. La base de datos es un complemento de otras bases que existen para alimentos y nutrientes, como las de la FAO (INFOODS database) y el Departamento de Agricultura de Estados Unidos (USDA Nutrient Database), y será de interés para científicos que investigan o participan de sistemas regulatorios en áreas como biología vegetal, alimentos y nutrición humana y animal. También podría ser de interés para compañías que ofrecen otros servicios a las industrias relacionadas con la agrobiotecnología y con la alimentación humana y animal. El desarrollo y aplicación de la base de datos fue descripta en un artículo de junio de 2004 del Journal of Food Composition and Analysis, y fue usada como referencia en la guía sobre evaluación de riesgo de OGM del organismo europeo EFSA (European Food Standards Authority, Guidance Document of the Scientific Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms for the Risk Assessment of Genetically Modified Plants and Derived Food and Feed, the EFSA Journal [2004] 99, 1-93).

New plant gene banks made available
An extensive new range of genomic DNA libraries from 20 different plant species has been created at HRI Warwick. Uniquely these have been created with large and "unbiased" inserts that make the plant's entire DNA available, compared with previous methods where restriction enzymes cut up the DNA but as a result may preferentially select only certain regions of DNA. The new plant DNA libraries include: Aloe Vera, Catharanthus roseus - the only source of two key drugs (vincristine and vinblastine) used in cancer treatment, apple, banana, foxglove, mint, olive, orange, pineapple, evening primrose, strawberry, sunflower, cocoa, coffee, ginger, ginkgo, ginseng, grape, tea and yew.

GBIF-Global Biodiversity Information Facility
Good managers of natural resources and policy-makers know that their best decisions are based on results from the most accurate scientific analyses. Such analyses are based on solid, documentable data that have been recorded directly from the observation of nature. Such records are called 'primary' data. Biodiversity is a handy, one-word name for all the species on the Earth, the genetic variety they possess, and the ecological systems in which they participate. Another way of thinking about biodiversity is as the 'living resources' portion of 'natural resources'. A large part of the primary data on biodiversity are the 1.5 or 2.0 billion specimens held in natural history collections, as well as many geographical and ecological observations recorded by various means and stored in various media. In making living resource policy and management choices, decision-makers are often forced to rely on analyses that are not based on primary data. This is because the world's store of primary data about biodiversity is not at present readily and easily accessible. Future generations depend on the efforts made today to develop methods for sustainably using biodiversity. One very important part of the solution is rapidly, openly and freely delivering primary data about biodiversity to everyone in the global community, using digital technologies. Another part is ensuring that the primary data being collected today are stored in such a way that they will remain accessible to future generations. Más información en un CLICK

National Genetic Resources Program
In 1990, the U.S. Congress authorized establishment of a National Genetic Resources Program (NGRP). It is the NGRP's responsibility to: acquire, characterize, preserve, document, and distribute to scientists, germplasm of all lifeforms important for food and agricultural production. The Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN) web server provides germplasm information about plants, animals, microbes and invertebrates. This program is within the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service. The National Genetic Resources Advisory Council (NGRAC) advises and makes recommendations to the Secretary and Director of the NGRP. The NGRAC responds to the important issues of the nation in respect to conserving and utilizing genetic resources for food and agriculture. To view information on NGRAC, the minutes of its meetings, and recommendations from NGRAC, go to the NGRAC Home Page. Topics: Plants-Animals-Microbes-Invertebrates-NGRAC. Más información en un CLICK

Board on agriculture and natural resourses
BANR addresses science and policy issues confronting the agricultural, food, and environmental system. BANR is the program unit of the National Research Council responsible for providing expert advice on issues of food and fiber production and related matters of natural resource development, including forestry, fisheries, wildlife, and land and water use. Such issues arise from a variety of problems and causes: conflicts between the growing demand for food and resources of all kinds and the impacts of their development and production on the quality of air, land, water, and natural ecosytems; and the need to sustain, restore and improve the productivity of agriculture for the economic well-being of the nation. The Board maintains a critical overview of the several fields under its purview so that it is aware of relevant work relating to policy formulation, technologic assessment, research and development, manpower, funds, emerging issues and problems.

Desarrollan un software para la evaluación de biodigestores
El uso de la digestión anaeróbica para el tratamiento de los residuos ganaderos está ampliamente difundido en el mundo. Los países desarrollados lo adoptaron en busca de una mejor calidad ambiental, en tanto los países de menores recursos lo aplican como fuente de energía -biogas- y de abonos orgánicos. Si bien esta tecnología aún no ha alcanzado gran difusión en Argentina, recientemente se ha renovado el interés sobre su utilización. Los principales motivos son el aumento del precio internacional de los combustibles y la proliferación de establecimientos que producen abundantes residuos orgánicos: tambos, engordes a corral y criaderos de cerdos, pollos parrilleros y gallinas ponedoras. Además, existe una creciente preocupación mundial sobre la generación y liberación de metano a la atmósfera, gas que contribuye al efecto invernadero en una proporción 25 veces superior al dióxido de carbono. En este marco, el Instituto de Ingeniería Rural del INTA Castelar -que acredita una vasta experiencia en el tema- creó el Programa BIOGAS 2005, adaptado a las condiciones de nuestro país. Este desarrollo facilita el análisis técnico, económico y financiero de los proyectos para la constr
