Six cultivars of barley (‘Akka’, ‘Bruce’, ‘Klages’, ‘Leger’, ‘Perth’, and ‘York’) were compared for their ability to produce haploid embryos competent to produce embryogenic haploid callus. The capacity to generate such callus from scutellar epidermal cells is different among these cultivars and appears to be correlated with the developmental state–age of the embryo and associated with a rapid growth period. Histological examination of 12-, 14-, and 16-day-old embryos confirmed the meristematic nature of the callus-initiating cells and produced results which correspond well with results obtained from cultures of other similar embryos. Variability among cultivars in embryo development, root initiation from callus, and primary and secondary shoot regeneration was also identified.

Cells of haploid barley embryos (Hordeum vulgare L. 'Bruce', 'Perth', and 'Klages') and callus cells originating from embryos were cytophotometrically examined to determine the ploidy level. Specific embryo tissues regularly exhibited predictable ploidies and smaller embryos had a higher percentage of haploid cells than larger embryos of the same age. The predominantly haploid cells of the scutellar epidermis of the embryo initiated callus which generally, at least initially, was haploid. Monitoring of the ploidy evolution of these haploid calli showed that over a 6-month period each line exhibited its own unique rate of polyploidization, although lines of the same cultivar showed similar trends. Accumulation of cells at the diploid level was often a characteristic of these cultures.

For about four decades now, practitioners and scholars have been examining transnational organizations, the networks that they create, their varied activities, and the economic and political ramifications of these activities. Initially these observers mainly focused on the multinational corporations (MNCs) that gained considerable visibility and, one may say, disrepute in the 1950s and 1960s. Then, as these MNCs and inter-governmental organizations (IGOs) proliferated, investigators widened the scope of their examination to analyze such organizations’ growing variety (see, for example, Keohane and Nye; Said and Simmons; Jenkins). Later observers studied the emergence and rapid growth of non-governmental organizations (NGOs)—such as Greenpeace, Amnesty International, and various religious cults, including the admirers of the Maharishi, the Moonies, and Scientology—that have been active on the international level in such diverse spheres as ecology, human rights, and religion (Galtung; Mansbach, Ferguson, and Lampert; Modelski).

The total P-glucan contents of 13 barley cultivars and 12 experimental barley lines were measured using an enzymic technique. The average P-glucan content of barley cultivars grown in 1981 and 1982 at two different sites ranged from 4.03% for Clipper to 5.26% for Malebo. The average values for the experimental lines varied from 4.12 to 5.12%. Total P-glucan was more closely related to grain hardness than to malt extract. For individual varieties P-glucan content increased with increasing grain nitrogen but the magnitude of varietal differences meant that there was no overall relationship between P-glucan and nitrogen.

Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) anthers from flowers of field-grown plants were cultured for five genotypes, four incubation temperatures, and three sampling dates. Treatments were evaluated for total and embryogenic callus production. Incubating anthers at 35C was optimal for initiating embryogenic callus for three genotypes. Another line performed best and equally well at 29 and 32C, while one was recalcitrant to embryogenic callus formation at the temperatures evaluated. For all genotypes, almost half of the anthers produced callus for at least one temperature treatment, hut the percentage of these calli that was embryogenic ranged from 0% to 50%. Sampling date affected response only for specific genotype-temperature combinations. Embryo recovery ranged from six to 14 per callus. For the four responsive genotypes, 77% to 100% of plantlets was haploid. Culturing anthers at several temperatures ranging from 29 to 35C, with repeated samplings of flowers from the field, likely will allow recovery of haploid embryos from many selections. This result will expand the germplasm base to develop all-male asparagus hybrids.

With the rapid growth of mobile phone usage, mobile services have influenced many industries including banking. Mobile banking has become a popular service as it offers a convenient channel for customers to perform banking transactions. Nevertheless, not all customers feel safe performing financial transactions online. Trust has become a crucial element on whether customers choose to use mobile banking. As a comparative study, this research examines factors and bank customers' characteristics that influence trust in mobile banking between U.S. and Thai mobile banking customers. Three hundred and eight USA consumers and two hundred and fifty-two Thai consumers participated in this study. The results found multiple significant factors influencing trust and usage of mobile banking. This study expands on previous trust and mobile banking usage research and provides practical implications for cross-cultural strategies in mobile banking.
