King Alfred Hall, 11.15 AM – 12.00 PM KEY 1 THE IMPACT OF THE INTERNET ON TESTING: ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY A CODE OF GOOD PRACTICE Keynote: Professor Dave Bartram, SHL Group plc, UK The presentation will review some of the ways in which testing is being carried out on the Internet. From this a range of issues relating to technology, security, privacy and fairness will be set out. A ...

Long-term ecological data play a vital role in ecological conservation and restoration, however, using information from local forest soil pollen data to assist restoration remains a challenge. This study analyzed two data sets, including 1) surface soil pollen (0-5 cm) and current vegetation data from four near-natural communities and four plantations, and 2) fossil pollen from soil profiles (0...

In the present study, we investigated DNA barcoding effectiveness to characterize honeybee pollen pellets, a food supplement largely used for human nutrition due to its therapeutic properties. We collected pollen pellets using modified beehives placed in three zones within an alpine protected area (Grigna Settentrionale Regional Park, Italy). A DNA barcoding reference database, including rbcL a...

Japanese honeysuckle is rapidly increasing as a weed throughout most of the North Island and northern South Island of New Zealand. A classical biological control programme was initiated in 2004–2005 with a survey of the natural invertebrate fauna and pathogens associated with the weed in New Zealand. The honeysuckle was being attacked by a diverse range of native and introduced invertebrates. B...

The perennial and evergreen twining vine, Lonicera japonica is an important herbal medicine with great economic value. However, gene expression information for flowers and leaves of L. japonica remains elusive, which greatly impedes functional genomics research on this species. In this study, transcriptome profiles from leaves and flowers of L. japonica were examined using next-generation seque...

Honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea), also known as "haskap" in Japan, is a shrub that produces edible berries and inhabits mountainous wetland areas with harsh environments. In this study, we surveyed the relationship between honeysuckle root endophytic fungi. Root samples were collected from wet land region Hokkaido, subjected to microscopic observation fungal strain isolation. Totally 47 strains ...
