Cryopreservation of somatic embryos for avocado germplasm conservation

Presently avocado germplasm is conserved ex situ in the form of field repositories across the globe including Australia. The maintenance of germplasm in the field is costly, labour and land intensive, exposed to natural disasters and always at the risk of abiotic and biotic stresses. The aim of this study was to overcome these problems using cryopreservation to store avocado (Persea americana Mill.) somatic embryos (SE). Two vitrification-based methods of cryopreservation were optimised (cryovial and droplet-vitrification) using four avocado cultivars (‘A10′, ‘Reed’, ‘Velvick’ and ‘Duke-7′). SE of the four cultivars were stored for short-term (one hour) in liquid nitrogen using the cryovial-vitrification method and showed a viability of 91%, 73%, 86% and 80% respectively. While when using the droplet vitrification method viabilities of 100%, 85% and 93% were recorded for ‘A10′, ‘Reed’ and ‘Velvick’. For long-term storage, SE of cultivars ‘A10′, ‘Reed’ and ‘Velvick’ were successfully recovered with viability of 65–100% after 3 months of LN storage. For cultivar ‘Reed’ and ‘Velvick’ SE were recovered after 12 months of LN storage with viability of 67% and 59%, respectively. The outcome of this work contributes towards the establishment of a cryopreservation protocol that is applicable across multiple avocado cultivars.

Religion, anti-slavery, and identity: Irish Presbyterians, the United States, and transatlantic evangelicalism, c. 1820-1914

Scholars have devoted much attention to the causes and consequences of Presbyterian emigration from Ulster to the thirteen colonies before 1776. This article moves beyond the eighteenth century to examine the continued religious links between Presbyterians in Ireland and the United States in the nineteenth century. It begins with an examination of the influence of evangelicalism on both sides of the Atlantic and how this promoted unity in denominational identity, missionary activity to convert Catholics, and revivalist religion during the first half of the century. Though Irish Presbyterians had great affection for their American co-religionists, they were not uncritical, and significant tensions did develop over slavery. The article then examines the religious character of Scotch-Irish or Ulster-Scots identity in the late nineteenth century, which was articulated in response to the alleged demoralising influence of large-scale Irish immigration during and after the Famine of the 1840s, the so-called Romanisation of Catholicism, and the threat of Home Rule in Ireland. The importance of identity politics should not obscure religious developments, and the article ends with a consideration of the origins and character of fundamentalism, perhaps one of the most important cultural connections between Protestants in Northern Ireland and the United States in the twentieth century.
