e impact of the following on beef digestibility was determined by static in vitro methods: (1) age of cattle; (2) muscle rigor state, ultimate pH, and mincing/particle size; (3) muscle/meat cut; (4) organ meats; and (5) meat accompaniments. Results indicate that beef is more digestible from older compared to younger cattle; prerigor compared to postrigor meat; higher compared to lower ultimate pH meat; cuts with lower compared to higher collagen contents; nely compared to coarsely minced/ground meat; and organ (liver and kidney) compared to muscle meat. Beef digestibility is enhanced when cooked with mushroom and pumpkin and reduced with starchy foods such as rice and potatoes. e outcomes of this study provide a base for the scienti c design of meals with beef as a central ingredient and digestibility as the main functionality of interest.

“…Alternarioid conidia on spots of diseased leaves were suspended in sterilized water and spread on 2% aqueous agar medium using a flame-sterilized microspatula. After incubation at 20 C for 24 h, individual germinating conidia were confirmed under a light microscope and transferred to potatoecarrot agar (PCA; Simmons 2007) using a flame-sterilized microtube (Nakashima et al 2011 …”

a b s t r a c tAlternaria cinerariae, an important and well-known plant pathogen of cineraria, has been delimited by its narrowly to broadly ellipsoid or ovoid conidia with blunt-tapered false beaks, but without descriptions of its morphological variability and host range. Leaf spot diseases have recently been found on asteraceous plants Pericallis cruenta, Farfugium japonicum, and Gynura bicolor in Japan, with A. cinerariae-like isolates subsequently obtained from the lesions. In this study, we identified these isolates as A. cinerariae using an integrated species criterion based on morphology, phylogeny, and pathogenicity, and examined their morphological variability. Although isolates exhibited morphological differences with respect to sporulation pattern, conidial swelling, and chlamydospore formation, phylogenetic analysis using gpd, rpb2, and tef1 sequences clustered them together in a single clade with a previously recognized A. cinerariae strain. Inoculation tests on 17 species, including five Senecioneae species, were performed to determine the experimental host range of A. cinerariae. The results suggest that A. cinerariae has considerable morphological variation and preferential pathogenicity to Senecioneae plants, and also indicate that G. bicolor should be added as a natural host of A. cinerariae.
