Estrategia para potabilización de agua en las cuencas de los ríos Yautepec y Cuautla, Morelos, con un enfoque holístico (segunda etapa)

ANA MARIA SANDOVAL VILLASANA SARA PEREZ CASTREJON MARIA DE LOURDES RIVERA HUERTA Silvia Gelover Santiago Arturo González Herrera IVAN EMMANUEL VILLEGAS MENDOZA (2015, [Documento de trabajo])

En el año 2014 se realizó la primera etapa de este estudio, en ella se identificaron contaminantes inorgánicos y emergentes en fuentes de abastecimiento y plantas potabilizadoras de las cuencas de los ríos Cuautla y Yautepec. La evaluación de exposición humana a la gama de contaminantes identificados en el agua de consumo humano mostró que el arsénico (As) y la hormona sintética mestranol son altamente relevantes por su concentración (el As superó el límite de 25 μg/L establecido en la normativa vigente, en tanto que el mestranol superó los 2.5 ng/L propuestos en las guías australianas para reciclamiento de agua con fines potables), así que, posiblemente, la población esté ingiriendo dosis superiores a las aceptables, el riesgo es aún mayor considerando que ambos contaminantes son carcinógenos de humanos y disruptores endócrinos. Para esta segunda etapa del año 2015, se planteó dar continuidad a la evaluación de riesgos sanitarios, y evaluar dos tecnologías de tratamiento para potabilización del agua a fin de remover As y 17β-estradiol (molécula modelo de la movilidad y degradabilidad del mestranol).

Catching-up with genetic progress: Simulation of potential production for modern wheat cultivars in the Netherlands

João Vasco Silva Frits K. Van Evert Pytrik Reidsma (2023, [Artículo])

Context: Wheat crop growth models from all over the world have been calibrated on the Groot and Verberne (1991) data set, collected between 1982 and 1984 in the Netherlands, in at least 28 published studies to date including various recent ones. However, the recent use of this data set for calibration of potential yield is questionable as actual Dutch winter wheat yields increased by 3.1 Mg ha-1 over the period 1984 – 2015. A new comprehensive set of winter wheat experiments, suitable for crop model calibration, was conducted in Wageningen during the growing seasons of 2013–2014 and of 2014–2015. Objective: The present study aimed to quantify the change of winter wheat variety traits between 1984 and 2015 and to examine which of the identified traits explained the increase in wheat yield most. Methods: PCSE-LINTUL3 was calibrated on the Groot and Verberne data (1991) set. Next, it was evaluated on the 2013–2015 data set. The model was further recalibrated on the 2013–2015 data set. Parameter values of both calibrations were compared. Sensitivity analysis was used to assess to what extent climate change, elevated CO2, changes in sowing dates, and changes in cultivar traits could explain yield increases. Results: The estimated reference light use efficiency and the temperature sum from anthesis to maturity were higher in 2013–2015 than in 1982–1984. PCSE-LINTUL3, calibrated on the 1982–1984 data set, underestimated the yield potential of 2013–2015. Sensitivity analyses showed that about half of the simulated winter wheat yield increase between 1984 and 2015 in the Netherlands was explained by elevated CO2 and climate change. The remaining part was explained by the increased temperature sum from anthesis to maturity and, to a smaller extent, by changes in the reference light use efficiency. Changes in sowing dates, biomass partitioning fractions, thermal requirements for anthesis, and biomass reallocation did not explain the yield increase. Conclusion: Recalibration of PCSE-LINTUL3 was necessary to reproduce the high wheat yields currently obtained in the Netherlands. About half of the reported winter wheat yield increase was attributed to climate change and elevated CO2. The remaining part of the increase was attributed to changes in the temperature sum from anthesis to maturity and, to a lesser extent, the reference light use efficiency. Significance: This study systematically addressed to what extent changes in various cultivar traits, climate change, and elevated CO2 can explain the winter wheat yield increase observed in the Netherlands between 1984 and 2015.

The search for cryptic L-Rhamnosyltransferases on the Sporothrix schenckii genome

Hector M. Mora-Montes Karina García-Gutiérrez Laura Cristina García Carnero Nancy Lozoya-Perez Jorge Humberto Ramírez Prado (2022, [Artículo])

The fungal cell wall is an attractive structure to look for new antifungal drug targets and for understanding the host-fungus interaction. Sporothrix schenckii is one of the main causative agents of both human and animal sporotrichosis and currently is the species most studied of the Sporothrix genus. The cell wall of this organism has been previously analyzed, and rhamnoconjugates are signature molecules found on the surface of both mycelia and yeast-like cells. Similar to other reactions where sugars are covalently linked to other sugars, lipids, or proteins, the rhamnosylation process in this organism is expected to involve glycosyltransferases with the ability to transfer rhamnose from a sugar donor to the acceptor molecule, i.e., rhamnosyltransferases. However, no obvious rhamnosyltransferase has thus far been identified within the S. schenckii proteome or genome. Here, using a Hidden Markov Model profile strategy, we found within the S. schenckii genome five putative genes encoding for rhamnosyltransferases. Expression analyses indicated that only two of them, named RHT1 and RHT2, were significantly expressed in yeast-like cells and during interaction with the host. These two genes were heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli, and the purified recombinant proteins showed rhamnosyltransferase activity, dependent on the presence of UDP-rhamnose as a sugar donor. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report about rhamnosyltransferases in S. schenckii. © 2022 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.

REDISCOVERY OF FUIRENA REPENS (CYPERACEAE), A RARE ENDEMIC OF THE MEXICAN HIGH PLATEAU

David J. Rosen Christopher S. Reid MARIA DEL SOCORRO GONZALEZ ELIZONDO Robert Kral (2008, [Artículo])

Fuirena repens se conoció por más de un siglo únicamente de San Luis Potosí, documentada de unos pocos ejemplares históricos. En este trabajo se revelan dos localidades adicionales de la planta para los estados de Querétaro y de Durango; se presenta una clave para las especies mexicanas de Fuirena y una descripción de F. repens basada en la información obtenida de los nuevos materiales. Los pocos registros existentes parecen indicar que F. repens es un taxon raro, endémico a la Altiplanicie Mexicana.
