We evaluated the environmental impact of aseptically packaged chicken using ohmic heating. Ohmic heating is a method that directly applies electric power to food. CO2 emissions were determined for each stage and compared with retort-heated food products. Retort-heated foods were assumed to be packaged by two methods: retort pouches and canned food. Replacing cans with pouches reduced CO2 emissions by 64 %. CO2 emissions were reduced by more than 80 % by replacing retort heating with ohmic heating. Additionally, the characterized results of 13 environmental areas indicate that the substitution of canned foods with aseptically packaged foods using ohmic heating can potentially reduce the environmental impact by up to 88 %. Furthermore, in the quality evaluation, ohmic-heated foods retained the same or better quality and palatability as the retort-heated foods. Aseptically packaged food products using ohmic heating can be substituted for conventional retort heating methods to reduce the environmental impact without sacrificing palatability.

Shoot regeneration experiments from growth-point-derived callus were conducted to improve apple genome editing techniques. The plant material studied was in vitro maintained shoots of ‘Fuji’. In the first step, a procedure for shoot formation from apple callus was established. After using the two earlier reported cases’ experimental procedures and media compositions, we investigated the effect of media variations in callus induction, callus multiplication, and shoot induction from the meristem. The procedure that yielded a higher shoot regeneration rate with meristem-derived callus involved shoot multiplication with 1001 medium followed by the Caboni’s callus induction medium, then without callus propagation on liquid medium, and then either Caboni’s or Saito-Suzuki’s shoot induction medium. In this experiment, axillary buds may remain as the shoot apexes were excised at 1 mm. In the next experiment, shoot apexes were excised at 0.5 mm to completely eliminate the axillary bud. Then treatment in the dark was added to the procedure to further improve shoot regeneration rates for the meristem-derived callus. Shoot multiplication medium and shoot induction medium procedures were conducted under dark conditions. This yielded the following optimal procedure: excising meristems from chlorosis shoots after 2–3 months of dark treatment in shoot multiplication medium on 1001; placing the excised meristems in Carboni’s callus induction medium in the dark for 20 days; then transferring the formed callus Saito-Suzuki’s shoot induction medium with incubation in the dark for at least 2 weeks. The shoot regeneration rates of calli treated in the dark for 6 weeks with shoot induction medium reached 68%. Relative to previous reports, this value is considered high for shoot regeneration from calli in apple cultivars.

Moderately vigorous shoots of mature rabbiteye blueberry ‘Tifblue’ bushes were pruned in summer to clarify the effects on vegetative and reproductive traits. Treatments included un-pruned, 25% pruned (removing 25% of the shoot length), 50% pruned (removing 50% of the shoot length) and 75% pruned (removing 75% of the shoot length). Vegetative and flower bud number per shoot decreased with increasing pruning severity. Consequently, the number of laterals per shoot dropped. However, lateral length increased with increasing pruning severity. Shoots pruned at 75% produced a small number of laterals, but they were the most vigorous. Pruning severity induced the transition of vegetative buds to reproductive buds in areas lower than the cut position. The flower bud number per shoot decreased with increasing pruning severity. However, yield per shoot was not affected due to a compensatory increase in berry weight. Total soluble solids content and titratable acidity of the berry juice, as well as, the number of berries per flower bud were not affected. Hence, to reduce the unproductive parts of the plant, and to produce bigger berries, September removal of either 50% or 75% of the length of mature rabbiteye blueberry shoots under conditions similar to the Kanto region of Japan is recommended.

To select cultivars to produce doubled haploids (DHs) efficiently in an anther culture, a total of 28 apple cultivars (25 cultivars and 3 rootstock cultivars) were investigated to assess their callus formation rate, embryo formation rate, shoot formation rate from embryo and efficiency of shoot multiplication and acclimatization. The callus formation rates of ‘Red Astrachan’, ‘Kinsei’, ‘Tsugaru’, ‘Golden Delicious’ (‘GD’), ‘American Summer Pearmain’ (‘ASP’), ‘Gala’, ‘Rome Beauty’, and ‘Jonathan’ were high, but ‘JM2’ and ‘King of Tompkins’ formed no callus. Regarding the embryo formation rates, ‘ASP’, ‘Rome Beauty’, ‘M.9’, and ‘Starking Delicious’ (‘SD’) were high, but ‘GD’, ‘JM2’, ‘King of Tompkins’, ‘Ralls Janet’, and ‘Smith’s Cider’ formed no embryo. Regarding the shoot formation rate from embryos, ‘Senshu’, ‘Tsugaru’, and ‘Sansa’ showed high values, but ‘Fuji’, ‘Jonathan’, and ‘Wijcik’ did not form shoots at all. The rate of shoot formation from anthers showed a high–low order of ‘Senshu’, ‘SD’, ‘ASP’, and ‘Tsugaru’. Multiplication and acclimatization of the shoots were not easy. Many individuals died. Eventually, only ‘Senshu’ and ‘SD’ acclimatized. Therefore, cultivars that produced DHs efficiently were ‘Senshu’ and ‘SD’. The results indicated that all processes of “embryo formation”, “shoot induction”, and “shoot multiplication and acclimatization” are important for obtaining DHs in apple anther cultures.

A 6-year-old female Labrador retriever presented with a mass in the right mammary gland, and swollen right inguinal and axillary lymph nodes. Fine needle aspiration biopsy suggested a malignant lipid-producing tumor, such as liposarcoma. Histopathologically, the neoplasms were solid, lobulated nests of atypical epithelial cells with a large amount of extracellular deposits of amyloid in both mammary gland and lymph nodes. The proliferating cells contained large cytoplasmic vacuoles, positive for oil red-O. These cells were immunopositive for cytokeratin (AE1/AE3) and β-casein and negative for SMA. The amyloid deposits were immunopositive for β-casein. These findings suggested that the proliferating cells secreted β-casein forming amyloid deposits. This is the first report of mammary lipid-rich carcinoma with extensive amyloid deposition derived from β-casein.
