Resveratrol is a major phytoalexin produced by plants in response to various stresses and promotes disease resistance. The resistance of North American grapevine Vitis rupestris is correlated with a hypersensitive reaction (HR), while susceptible European Vitis vinifera cv. 'Pinot Noir' does not exhibit HR, but expresses basal defence. We have shown previously that in cell lines derived from th...

Koshu is indigenous to Japan and considered the most important wine grape in Japan. Koshu grape berry possesses characteristics that make it unique from European V. vinifera as wine grape. However, the physiological characteristics of Koshu leaf and internode remain unknown. An understanding of those characteristics would contribute to improvements in Koshu cultivation, thereby enhancing grape ...

Previous surveys of vineyards had indicated that Mesocriconema xenoplax was present in 85% of vineyards in western Oregon, but yields were not depressed in established vines. Microplot studies were initiated in 1997 in a Willamette Valley vineyard to determine the impact of M. xenoplax on vine establishment. Plots were infested with 0.03, 0.6, and 3.0 M. xenoplax g soil and planted with self-ro...

HSSPME-GC/MS method was used to investigate the volatile compounds responsible for varietal character in the aroma of wine distillates made from 16 different red wine grape cultivars: Andre, Blue Frankish, Merlo...

Autonomous navigation in urban environments inevitably leads to having to switch between various, sometimes con icting control tasks. Sting Racing, a collaboration between Georgia Tech and SAIC, has developed a modular control architecture for this purpose and this paper describes the operation and de!nition of this architecture through so-called nested hybrid automata.We show how to map the re...

We briefly describe the Hypertopic model created by Tech-CICO lab and the Agoræ software tool based on this model. We focus on how this allpurpose Knowledge Management approach, that we have called “socio semantic Web”, can help communities to formulate, to publish, or to broadcast knowledge, especially scientific knowledge in the field of Human and Social Sciences, where formal “ontology” appr...
