Abstract:
Communication breakdown is a challenge for family caregivers of persons living with dementia. We adapted established theory and scales for computer-assisted behavioral coding to characterize caregiver communication for a secondary analysis. We developed verbal, nonverbal, and breakdown coding schemes and established reliability (κ > .85). Within the 221 family caregiving videos analyzed, 55% of exchanges were interactive, 30% were silence, 4% consisted of talking to self or others, and 8% included a breakdown. An average of 2.4 ( SD = 1.9) breakdowns occurred per observation and were successfully resolved 85% of the time, with 31% being resolved most successfully following only one flag and repair strategy. Caregivers were the primary speakers (67%); their communication preceded most breakdown (65%), and they primarily initiated the repairs after a breakdown (70%). Common repair strategies included clarifications (31%), asking questions (24%), and repeating information (24%). Associations between communication strategies and repair success will provide evidence for caregiver training.

Abstract:
The idea that the family is breaking up, breaking down, failing, in decline, or otherwise in trouble, is not the only view that is expressed about family in the 1990s, but it is one that prevails in public sector discourse. It is a strong idea, a concept, which emerged in its present form in response to the sharp increases experienced in Australia - and other Western nations in the period since the 1960s - in rates of divorce, births outside marriage, and the formation of single parent families. The idea of family breakdown, comes complete with the belief that what has happened to the family in the post-sixties period, has generally happened to the detriment of those involved and society at large. Children are said to have their psychological, emotional, and educational development impaired in the wake of family breakdown, female sole parents to become trapped in lives of poverty and disadvantage, and divorced men, to suffer emotionally, and to face increased risk of physical illness. According to the arguments of some sectors, the link between increased family breakdown and increased levels of crime within a given society is causal and clear. In this thesis I seek to 'undo' this broad and powerful concept. I aim to unravel it, to split it up into its main dimensions or elements. I examine in detail the main ways in which divorce and single parent family structure have featured as problems in the public domain in Australia in recent decades. I examine concerns about the state of the contemporary family that are expressed by public figures, policy makers, research professionals and experts - concerns that are accepted by and reflected in the current affairs media. I identify several different 'types' or genres of concern about the family and, for each, draw attention to how family breakdown features in their debates - to what it signifies. I examine what the consequences of increasing breakdown are argued by politicians and experts to be, and how this knowledge of the consequences has itself been arrived at or produced. I develop a number of lines of critique of the various representations of family breakdown that I discuss. Each of these lines of critique aims to elaborate and support an overall critical point made in the thesis, concerning the lingering normativity of the two parent, heterosexual model of family.

Abstract:
In January of 2001 the Government announced its intention to repeal Part 11 of the Family Law Act 1996. Originally scheduled for implementation in 2000, the Act had provided for fundamental changes to English divorce law, including removing matrimonial 'fault' from the divorce process, and encouraging mediation as the preferred method of dispute resolution. The Family Law Act began life as a set of recommendations intended primarily to bring marriages to an end with minimum hostility and distress. Yet what emerged from the policy 'process' was a piece of legislation that explicitly declared its support for marriage, and which imposed a framework of mechanisms designed to encourage couples to stay together. The first 'phase' of this thesis examines how the Act, with its dual aims of supporting and ending marriage, was reached. Initially the history of divorce law is traced. Through a series of interviews conducted with individuals involved in the Family Law Act 'process', the achievement of this 'middle-way' is then explored in detail. The second 'phase', drawing on a series of interviews conducted with individuals working with families on the ground, subsequently goes on to examine the 'street-level' response to marriage and relationship breakdown. Whilst national policy is something of a compromise between idealism and pragmatism, for those at street-level their work is unambiguously pragmatic - policy is constructed primarily in terms of a non-judgemental 'service' catering to the diversity of the modern family experience. The apparent success of this approach, particularly when compared to the 'failure' of the Family Law Act, prompts the question of whether there are lessons to be learnt for national policy. Indeed the study suggests that a new mind-set and approach akin to that operating on the ground is also needed at national level, if workable divorce law reform is to be achieved.

Usman, Hamidu Bagwan. "The consequences of family breakdown in post-independence Nigeria : a case study of Borno state." Thesis, University of Warwick, 1989. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/36686/.

Full text
Abstract:
This is a study of the social and legal consequences of family breakdown in Nigeria as a whole but with specific reference to Borno State. It examines the effects of family breakdown on the husband and wife or wives and their children under the General Laws, Customary Law and Islamic Law of the people of Maidugurij Biu, and Gwoza areas of Borno State. The study covers the post-Independence period-i. e from 1960 to today. The aim of the study is to show how the social and economic changes in society affect the family at divorce. Although social change is part of any society, this study shows that the formal law on family breakdown and its consequences have not kept pace with social change, and that the dichotomy between state law and customary or Islamic law on family breakdown exists only in court. Thus the authority of the extended family, and within it, the dominance of men over womens, has not been specifically disturbed by the increasing Westernisation and rural-urban migration that has taken place since Independence. It is under this situation that the rights of women, property settlement on divorce, maintenances, and custody of children, as the main indicators of the consequences of family breakdown in any society has to be gauged. The role of the law and the state is also discussed. We argue that all the post-Colonial governments in the Federation were responsible for the present deplorable condition of victims of family breakdown not only in Borno State but throughout the country. Thus there has been no state-provided Social welfare to cater for deserted wivest children, and destitutes despite the ever increasing needs of such persons in a society that is rapidly changing. It is within this context that the effect of family breakdown on the people of Borno State is examined. The study argues that the various state authorities in Nigeria tend to abandon their responsibility to the family to the traditional customary institutions, such as the extended familyf which are now incapable of meeting the needs of victims of family breakdown. Moreoveri, the traditional family based economic system does not help women on divorce because it is predicated on the traditional power structure within the home which is in favour of men. on divorce, women are invariably left high and dry# and with few alternatives than to return home to their parents or other extended family members for support.

Thomson, Andrea. "Marriage and marriage breakdown in late twentieth-century Scotland." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2014. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/5764/.

Full text
Abstract:
Focussing on Scotland, this thesis adds a new perspective to the existing discussion surrounding marriage and marriage breakdown in the late twentieth century. It is the lived reality of marriage and marriage breakdown which is a key focus, using oral history and a range of contemporary and archival source materials. Whilst a renewed discursive emphasis on the 'companionate marriage' in the immediate post-war period is evident, in line with the social reconstruction ethos of the period, there existed alongside such enthusiasm a number of alternative, and often conflicting, contemporary discourses. With significant implications for marriage and family relations, sociologists and historians identify a further profound discursive shift as occurring during the 1970s, emphasising the increased availability of contraception, the emergence of second-wave feminism in Britain and landmark equality legislation as crucial factors intertwined with this. Perceived advances in terms of both mainstream ideology and legislation, including, for example, a revived feminist consciousness and the 1976 Divorce (Scotland) Act, did not influence marriage in a discursive vacuum but instead are likely to have integrated and competed not only with generic ideals regarding appropriate gender roles but also embedded local patterns of gender relations. Oral history is a particularly appropriate methodology with which to address this topic as it permits an otherwise unattainable insight into the experience of day-to-day life. Additional source materials drawn on include parliamentary, ecclesiastical and sociological commentary.

Abstract:
Conflict in marital relationships affects couple intimacy and satisfaction impacting on the couple system, the family system and wider social systems. Negative conflict is associated with breakdown in intimacy, marital dissatisfaction, and is seen to be a prominent cause of marital failure. As conflict is a process, it has the possibility of change and development over time, including moving towards a process whereby disagreements can be worked out with mutually acceptable solutions. Theoretical frameworks for conflict and marital counselling were reviewed and the systems-interactionist theory and a systemic-based counselling approach chosen for the purposes of this study. It was hypothesised that a systemic-based counselling approach would lower the levels of conflict occurring within a marital relationship. The principal objective of this study was to provide a more rigorous investigation than previous studies of client perceptions of the effectiveness of a systems-based counselling approach for marital counselling. Three case studies were conducted, with embedded units of analysis, within the context of a therapeutic process which drew on current theories of systemic counselling. Conflict was measured and operationalised as overt behavioural conflict, communication of negative affect, frequency of disagreements, intensity of disagreements, desire to change the other partner, the desire for change, and evidence of, and frequency of, positive conflict. As the study was based on the client's perceptions of change, multi-methods of selfreports were employed. As none of the known measurements met the needs of this study, a questionnaire known as the QCR was devised specifically for the pre- and posttests. The QCR was designed to measure: any increase or decrease in positive conflict; changes to both the intensity and frequency in negative conflict; and perceptions of the desire for change. The effectiveness of the counselling approach was measured by comparing the results of the pre-and post-tests with the continual self-reports and the self-reports at the long term follow-up interviews. An analysis of the self-reports focus on: the desire for change; the effectiveness of a systems based counselling approach in lowering negative conflict; and the usefulness of the QCR and other tools as measures. The systems-based-counselling approach, proved from the clients' perspective, to be: highly effective in case one; mostly effective in case two; and ineffective in case three as one partner aborted the counselling process. The systems-based-counselling approach had variable success in decreasing the intensity of negative conflict but was mostly successful in decreasing the frequency of negative conflict. This approach was not largely successful in reporting an increase in the frequency of positive conflict. The study revealed evidence of a relationship between commitment to the marital relationship and negative conflict. It also adds to the debate about the appropriateness of a systems-based counselling approach in violent relationships. In judging the clients' perceptions of the effectiveness of the systems-based counselling approach multi-measurements employed including the lengthy recording of the therapeutic sessions. It is claimed that this thesis offers a more rigorous methodology than anecdotal evidence previously used in the reporting of systemic counselling cases.

Abstract:
Homelessness in Australian rural and regional mining communities is both a product of the decade long mining boom from 2002 to 2012 and a result of the mining downturn. The mining cycle is a structural driver of homelessness in these communities, compounding the social and economic dynamics that influence homelessness across any community or region. Despite some extraordinary mining cycle factors that placed more people in those communities at risk of homelessness, homelessness has not been recognised as a major social issue in rural and regional mining communities. This raises the question of how does the nation prepare for the inevitable future periods of mining boom and downturns? This qualitative research project involved in-depth interviews and focus groups with 43 participants, including 12 participants from the communities of Mackay, Moranbah and Dysart who were either experiencing homelessness at the time of the study or had experienced homelessness within the last eight years. The research also included participants from specialist homelessness services, generic community and government services and other community representatives from the three communities of interest to this study. Mining companies declined the offer to participate in this study. The key findings from this research include identifying contextual factors that influenced homelessness in these mining communities in the mining boom and downturn periods. Eight specific contextual themes were identified regarding the impact of the phases of the mining cycle on homelessness in these three mining communities. The research further identifies three pathways to homelessness in mining communities throughout the mining cycle. The three pathways are: (1) relationship and family breakdown and domestic and family violence, (2) unemployment and housing affordability, and (3) high vulnerability and lack of access to housing and support services. These pathways build on previous literature about pathways to homelessness and in some instances indicate how people can end their experiences of homelessness in mining communities. The research explores how mining communities could prevent and reduce homelessness irrespective of the stage of the mining cycle through mandating the ‘Social License to Operate’, longer term social planning and policy processes, and improving access to appropriate and affordable housing. Finally, the research concludes with a list of planning, policy and practice recommendations aimed at preventing and reducing homelessness in rural and regional mining communities. These recommendations emphasise prevention and early approaches to homelessness throughout the mining cycle and more crisis accommodation options during the mining boom.

Nicholson, Lynda. "Picking up the pieces : (re)framing the problem of marriage breakdown in the British Armed Forces." Thesis, Loughborough University, 2010. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/6343.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the issue of marriage breakdown in the British Armed Forces in light of claims that rates are double that of the civilian population. The research is situated within the context of existing research on the relationship between the service family and the military organisation. This thesis is distinctive in that it employs Bacchi's (1999) method of critical analysis to problem framing in Governmental policy and existing discourses on service families. The objective is to show how the impact of military demands on marriage and family life are framed by the media, politicians, and academics as a problem for the military, in relation to a tension that exists between retention and divorce. Attention to the effects of service life on families is therefore embedded in policy directives, and framed by concerns over the retention and recruitment of military personnel as implications for operational effectiveness. By re-focusing attention to the implications of marriage breakdown for service families this thesis constructs new problem frames, a key question being: what is problematic about marriage and marital breakdown for military wives? The empirical areas explored through in-depth qualitative interviews with a sample of ex-service wives from across the tri-Services are women s experiences and perceptions of marriage and family life, and of marriage breakdown in the military. This methodological approach is unique in that previous studies of service wives have focused on a single community. The voices and experiences of ex-service wives are noticeably absent in previous research, representing neglected routes to experience and knowledge that are vital to a more holistic understanding of the impact of military demands on the family. This thesis highlights the role of emotion in the socialisation of service families which has not been made in the existing literature to date. It has been acknowledged that the conceptual boundaries between the public and private spheres are practically non-existent where the military and service families are concerned. The interface between work and home can be explained in terms of the invisible emotion work service wives perform in support of husbands careers and the institutional goals of the military. This thesis is also distinctive in that it defines wives work in relation to the military in terms of emotional labour and the two-person career. As wives receive little recompense for this labour, responding to role appropriate emotions can have implications for the well-being of military wives, and illustrates the complex picture that emerges as to the reasons why military marriages might end. Factors linked to issues of marital adversity were: infidelity, domestic violence and emotional and psychological abuse, the effects of a culture of alcohol, and the impact of post-operational stress. In addition, family separation was viewed as creating emotional distance between couples. Many women became very independent and adept at coping with the military lifestyle, which created problems for the reintegration of personnel into family life. Moreover, husbands that were perceived by women to be married to the military, in terms of an institutional and social identity, were less satisfied with their relationships. This thesis concludes that the construct of the service family is embedded in institutional rules and regulations regarding marriage and family life, therefore current problematisations of marriage breakdown fail to reveal the difficulties experienced by families in navigating post-divorce family life. Non-intact families are rendered operationally ineffective, hence there are a number of consequences experienced by service families, and women and children in particular, that represent a far-reaching problem of marriage breakdown in the UK Armed Forces.

Full text
Abstract:
This doctoral thesis examines Punjabi-Sikhs, a transnational diaspora community, to consider the extent to which Canadian multicultural accommodation extends into the realm of Ontario family law and struggles with ethnic diversity. The findings of this thesis aim to prove the practical relevance of such research and it hopes to establish an interest in future projects on the access to justice needs of ethnic minorities. Marriage and marriage breakdown being the chosen site of analysis, the objective is to map the dispute processes parties employ, navigating between official and unofficial forums and actors. 'Law as process' literature is employed, including legal pluralism and dispute settlement studies, to examine the dynamic process of mitigating marriage breakdown within and outside of the official law. This thesis demonstrates that kinship-oriented Punjabi-Sikh transmigrants approach the official family law assuming that their justiciable issues can be upheld, whereas official law actors, guided by the liberal, secular and individual framework of Ontario family law, struggle to adequately comprehend and/or resolve such disputes. While some navigational factors, such as the presence of physical violence entail necessary legal intervention to secure individual human rights, others involve the instrumental use of the law to punish or manipulate the other spouse. Within the unofficial sphere, this thesis establishes that Punjabi-Sikh disputants resort to a variety of kinship and Sikhi-focused forums and actors before, in parallel and after family law proceedings. It is established that the multiple framework approach of Punjabi-Sikh disputants means that the official and unofficial spheres are utilised simultaneously to address marriage breakdown. For this legal ethnography, a mixed methodology approach is adopted, consisting of legal casework, coding, critical discourse analysis, and semi-structured interviews. The primary fieldwork data comprises both family law cases and interviews with married, separated and divorced Punjabi-Sikhs in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada.

Kruthaup, Alexandra L. "Advance care planning conversations: the family perspective." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2007. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/283.

Full text
Abstract:
The course of endstage renal disease (ESRD) and receiving hemodialysis (HD) treatment is complex and filled with uncertainty. Part of this illness experience includes making end-of-life (EOL) care decisions. Many families are unprepared to make such decisions. Advance care planning (ACP) creates an excellent context for laying the groundwork for these emotionally charged conversations. Hemodialysis patients, their families and healthcare providers (HCPs) are in a unique position to begin the ACP process early in the illness trajectory, revisiting it when the patient’s health status, prognosis and treatment modality changes. To date, little research has focused directly on how families experience ACP conversations in the context of ESRD or HD. The purpose of this study was to explore family members’ experiences of participating in a facilitated ACP conversation with the HD patient. This approach recognizes and privileges the family’s role in the illness trajectory of ESRD and validates that they too are HCPs’ clients. Five families, consisting of the HD patient and one family member, who went through the ACP process were interviewed along with an ACP facilitator from the nephrology program. This focused ethnographic study applied the theoretical perspective of postmodernist critical theory to derive and analyze data from in-depth semi-structured interviews. Findings revealed a detailed description of the ACP process that included timing, readiness to acknowledge the potentiality of death, facing mortality, and finding meaning in the illness experience. As families started to deconstruct their experiences, they shared stories of communication breakdown, highlighting the complexities of their relationships with HCPs. Understanding the factors that potentially contribute to HD patients’, their families’ and the renal staff’s discomfort with death were analyzed. The study findings provide important direction for HCPs about how families make ACP decisions, how they perceive the ACP process, and what they identify as their EOL care needs and wishes. Failure to implement ACP as part of an EOL care program means that death will continue to be denied and clients’ EOL care needs will remain un-addressed. In order for ACP to be effective on HD units, sustainable resources are essential for patients, their families and HCPs.

Abstract:
AbstractChild support policies aim to ensure separated parents continue to pay for the upkeep of their children until they reach adulthood. This is a laudable aim, often related to alleviating poverty in single parent families following relationship breakdown. There is a long policy history of this in most Western countries, but the institutional and operational challenges are considerable as policies try to keep pace with changes in family relationships, household structures, and gendered patterns of employment and childcare. Tracking changes in parents’ earning and caring responsibilities therefore matter in determining child support liabilities. The question is, how well are child support systems doing in adapting to social changes and norms of gender equality? To answer that, this chapter presents an analysis of the latest data from a comparative study of 15 countries using national informants’ accounts of the key policy principles and operational features of their child support systems.

Abstract:
The family is the first and most important social institution with a special role in the upbringing of the child. Its role as a socializing factor has been extensively analyzed in the literature, offered by sociological and pedagogical researches in relation to family risk factors that determine the emergence and structuring of behavioral deviations in children. The process of family formation or family breakdown, the specifics of raising children within the family, the peculiarities of the relationship between spouses and the causes of conflict in the family, the link between the generations in the family, the socio-economic and socio-cultural factors that determine the way of life in the family — these are just some of the many issues that are the subject of sociological research. As the main link in society, the study of the family is of major theoretical and practical interest.

Abstract:
Most gas turbine premix burners without centrebody employ the breakdown of a swirling flow at the transition between the mixing section and the combustor for aerodynamic flame stabilization. As the formation of the desired vortex breakdown pattern depends very sensibly on the shape of the axial and azimuthal velocity profiles in the mixing section, the design of suitable swirlers is typically a cumbersome process and requires an iterative approach consisting of numerical as well as experimental development steps to be iteratively applied until a geometry is found, that provides a spatially as well as temporarily stable vortex breakdown in the primary zone of the combustion chamber without backflow on the centerline of the vortex into the swirler. These difficulties stem from the lack of generally applicable aerodynamic design criteria. The paper attempts to contribute to the development of such design guidelines, which lead quickly to successful swirler designs without need for an excessive number of iterations. For this purpose a family of swirl profiles was generated and the corresponding axial velocity profiles were calculated assuming several radial total pressure distributions. In the next step, the flows were calculated using CFD in order to find out, which velocity profiles produce stable vortex breakdown bubbles at the burner exit. This study reveals that the stable breakdown of the vortex can be achieved for a wide range of velocity distributions, if the radial total pressure distribution is properly selected. However, the radial total pressure distribution in the vortex core is essential for the robustness of the design. Interestingly, velocity profiles with constant total pressure do not show a stable transition of the velocity field at the cross-sectional area change at the entrance of the combustion chamber. In addition, theoretical considerations reveal that an increase of the azimuthal velocity in the vortex core in streamwise direction avoids backflow on the centreline as well as flame flashback. This increase can be achieved using a slightly conical nozzle and introducing a swirl free jet on the centreline upstream of the mixing zone. All effects are explained using the vorticity transport equation.

Abstract:
In a number of recent and former publications, compressor tandem blade configurations show potential to outperform single blade configurations in terms of turning, loss and operating range at high aerodynamic loading levels. However, very little insight is given into the mechanisms of flow breakdown when comparing tandem blades to single blades at large off-design incidence angles. Single blade cascades tend to fail as a result of either pressure side flow separation for high negative incidence or suction side flow separation for high positive incidence, the latter being mostly accompanied by significant increase of underturning. Tandem blade cascades are expected to show a different behavior due to the aerodynamic interaction in the blade overlapping region. Two different tandem blade configurations are examined together with their respective reference single blades, one being a recently designed and optimized tandem blade for high subsonic inlet Mach numbers, which has also been investigated in cascade wind tunnel testing. The other one is a more generic tandem blade based on NACA65 family, designed for medium inlet Mach numbers using current state-of-the-art understanding of tandem design. The mechanisms of flow breakdown are examined using quasi two-dimensional RANS simulations which are validated with test data for one of the aforementioned tandem configurations. A detailed analysis of the flow structure at heavy off-design conditions gives insight into the characteristics of tandem flow breakdown. In particular, the ability of the tandem configuration to extend the operating range to larger positive incidence is described. The shortcomings of the tandem cascade at large negative incidence are also commented. These and further conclusions can be used to improve tandem blade performance at moderate off-design conditions.

Abstract:
Combustion instability is a serious problem limiting the operating envelope of present day gas turbine systems using a lean premixed combustion strategy. Gas turbine combustors employ swirl as a means for achieving fuel-air mixing as well as flame stabilization. However swirl flows are complex flows comprised of multiple shear layers as well as recirculation zones which makes them particularly susceptible to hydrodynamic instability. We perform a local stability analysis on a family of base flow model profiles characteristic of swirling flow that has undergone vortex breakdown as would be the case in a gas turbine combustor. A temporal analysis at azimuthal wavenumbers m = 0 and m = 1 reveals the presence of two unstable modes. A companion spatio-temporal analysis shows that the region in base flow parameter space for constant density density flow, over which m = 1 mode with the lower oscillation frequency is absolutely unstable, is much larger that that for the corresponding m = 0 mode. This suggests that the dominant self-excited unstable behavior in a constant density flow is an asymmetric, m=1 mode. The presence of a density gradient within the inner shear layer of the flow profile causes the absolutely unstable region for the m = 1 to shrink which suggests a possible explanation for the suppression of the precessing vortex core in the presence of a flame.

Abstract:
During the past fifty years, Colombia has endured an internal armed conflict. It has left as a result massive forced displacements, destruction of the social capital and indiscriminate logging of forests in regions affected by illicit crops and a strong presence of illegal armed groups supported by drug trafficking. In spite of a number of national policies and programs against illicit crops, the issue still persists, along with all the social implications it carries with. This paper presents a model for planning rural development projects in regions with illicit crops. The methodology applied is based on the model "Working With People (WWP)" and integrates the knowledge and experience gathered throughout the implementation of various projects in the region of La Macarena, Colombia. It takes into account eight years of continuous work with the communities, in one of the areas of greatest social unrest in Colombia, due to illicit crops, on-going criminal activity and violence by illegal armed groups and a weak presence of State institutions. Some of the factors hindering successful advancement of rural development policies include the breakdown of the social fabric, deterioration of moral values, family disintegration and lack of confidence. The conceptual framework applied integrates elements from policy analysis and social learning (Friedmann, 1991; Cazorla et al., 2015), proposed as a reaction from traditional and ineffective social reform models (Friedmann, 1991) developed in this type of scenarios. Following a thorough review of rural development planning theories regarding illicit crops areas, we carried out an analysis of the experience in the Macarena region under the WWP model. The results show the effects of the WWP model and the necessity to develop a strategy for the eradication of illicit crops in a post-conflict scenario, taking into account various social variables. Findings denote a greater relevance of the ethical-social and political-contextual dimensions in terms of sustainable rural development. Trust building, the enhancement of social relationships and direct interaction with target communities are the basic factors to the reconstruction of the social fabric and value systems, fostering sustainable rural development and stabilization.

Abstract:
During the evolutionary process of speciation in plants, naturally occurring barriers to reproduction have developed that affect the transfer of genes within and between related species. These barriers can occur at several different levels beginning with pollination-barriers and ending with hybrid-breakdown. The interaction between pollen and pistils presents one of the major barriers to intra- and inter-specific crosses and is the focus of this research project. Our long-term goal in this research proposal was defined to resolve questions on recognition and communication during pollen-pistil interactions in the extended tomato family. In this context, this work was initiated and planned to study the potential involvement of tomato pollen-specific receptor-like kinases (RLK's) in the interaction between pollen and pistils. By special permission from BARD the objectives of this research were extended to include studies on pollen-pistil interactions and pollination barriers in horticultural crops with an emphasis on citrus. Functional characterization of 2 pollen-specific RLK's from tomato was carried out. The data shows that both encode functional kinases that were active as recombinant proteins. One of the kinases was shown to accumulate mainly after pollen germination and to be phosphorylated in-vitro in pollen membranes as well as in-vivo. The presence of style extract resulted in dephosphorylation of the RLK, although no species specificity was observed. This data implies a role for at least one RLK in pollination events following pollen germination. However, a transgenic plant analysis of the RLK's comprising overexpression, dominant-negative and anti-sense constructs failed to provide answers on their role in pollination. While genetic effects on some of the plants were observed in both the Israeli and American labs, no clear functional answers were obtained. An alternative approach to addressing function was pursued by screening for an artificial ligand for the receptor domain using a peptide phage display library. An enriched peptide sequence was obtained and will be used to design a peptide-ligand to be tested for its effect o pollen germination and tube growth. Self-incompatibility (SI) in citrus was studied on 3 varieties of pummelo. SI was observed using fluorescence microscopy in each of the 3 varieties and compatibility relations between varieties was determined. An initial screen for an S-RNase SI mechanism yielded only a cDNA homologous to the group of S-like RNases, suggesting that SI results from an as yet unknown mechanism. 2D gel electrophoresis was applied to compare pollen and style profiles of different compatibility groups. A "polymorphic" protein band from style extracts was observed, isolated and micro-sequenced. Degenerate primers designed based on the peptide sequence date will be used to isolate the relevant genes i order to study their potential involvement in SI. A study on SI in the apple cultivar Top red was initiated. SI was found, as previously shown, to be complete thus requiring a compatible pollinator variety. A new S-RNase allele was discovered fro Top red styles and was found to be highly homologous to pear S-RNases, suggesting that evolution of these genes pre-dated speciation into apples and pears but not to other Rosaceae species. The new allele provides molecular-genetic tools to determine potential pollinators for the variety Top red as well as a tool to break-down SI in this important variety.
