• The trial was carried out at 2 sites. The vines in both sites were trained to a 2-wire vertical trellis. The only difference was: Site 1 was thinned with a Gregoire G65 harvester, and used three pairs of bow rods to thin the lower third of the canopy. Site 2 used a URM Vinestar harvester, and used four pairs of bow rods to thin the lower half of the canopy. The reason only a portion of the ca...

A study was designed to compare the color components and color stability of red wine from Noble (Vitis rotundifolia) and Cabernet Sauvignon (Vitis vinifera) at four pH levels (2.8, 3.0, 3.3, 3.8). Noble browned to a much greater extent and lost more color after 10 and 16 months than did Cabernet, and Noble did not increase in chemical age (level of polymeric anthocyanin) to nearly the extent th...

We report the use of three glycosidase inhibitors, the bean polygalacturonase inhibiting protein 2 (PvPGIP2), the kiwi pectin methyl esterase inhibitor (AcPMEI), and the Triticum aestivum xylanase inhibitor III (TAXI-III), to control leaf blotch and Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) symptoms caused by the fungal pathogens Bipolaris sorokiniana and Fusarium graminearum. We produced transgenic durum whe...

A new species of Parotocinclus is described from three small tributaries of the rio Tapajós basin, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. The new species can be distinguished from its congeners by presenting the following characters: (1) a triangular dark blotch at the anterior base of the dorsal fin, (2) the absence of an adipose fin but presence of one small platelet at typical adipose-fin region, (3) th...

wheat septoria leaf blotch disease caused by mycosphaerella graminicola   is one of the most  important diseases of wheat in iran and the world .evaluation the reaction of wheat genotypes and on the other hand identifying pathogen virulence factors are necessary for a successful breeding program. the aim of this study was to assess the adult plant responses of iranian bread and durum wheat geno...

Peyronellaea arachidicola is the causal agent of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) web blotch. Here, we report an assembled draft genome sequence P. strain YY187 obtained from symptomatic leaf in China. The size 47.3 Mb, consisting 26 contigs (N 50 = 2.2 Mb) with G+C content 56.37%. This will provide a valuable foundation for further research on genetics and comparative genomics arachidicola.
