Bacterial Spot - Worldwide Distribution, Importance and Review

Bacterial spot disease on tomato is a major problem in tropical, subtropical, and temperate climates. Variation within this organism has been well documented. Two distinct groups, i.e., A and B, were identified in the early 1990s based on phenotypic and genotypic tests. These two groups were determined to be distributed widely throughout the world.

Timing and Spatial Distribution of Loess in Xinjiang, NW China

Central Asia is one of the most significant loess regions on Earth, with an important role in understanding Quaternary climate and environmental change. However, in contrast to the widely investigated loess deposits in the Chinese Loess Plateau, the Central Asian loess-paleosol sequences are still insufficiently known and poorly understood. Through field investigation and review of the previous...
