The aromas and flavours of Cabernet Sauvignon wines originating from Australia are diverse and known to display ‘berry’, ‘current’, ‘vanilla’, ‘fruity’, ‘caramel’, ‘green’ and ‘capsicum’ aromas and ‘blackcurrant’, ‘green capsicum’, ‘vanilla’, ‘mulberry’ and ‘mint’ flavours (Green 2000, Gurbuz et al. 2006). These wine aromas and flavours can range in fruit-related characteristics of ‘berry’, ‘sp...

Pseudomonas tolaasii, the causative agent of Agaricus bisporus brown blotch disease, can be identified by the white line reaction, occurring upon confrontation of the tolaasin-producing mushroom pathogen with "Pseudomonas reactans," producing the lipopeptide white line-inducing principle (WLIP). The draft genome sequence of the WLIP-producing indicator Pseudomonas fluorescens strain LMG 5329 is...

Knodus dorsomaculatus, a new species, is described from Teles Pires River, a tributary of the Tapajós River, Brazil. It can be distinguished from its congeners by the presence of a conspicuous dark blotch on the base of the first five branched dorsal fin rays and the presence of ii,9 dorsal fin rays. Additional comparisons between K. dorsomaculatus and its congeners are presented.

Blotch detection and removal is an important issue for archive video restoration. Spatial segmentation based postprocessing has been proposed to increase the detection performance of the SDIa detector. Furthermore a novel pixel based new correction method that determines blotched pixels new values from spatio-temporal correlation is developed.

Barley net blotch caused by the necrotrophic fungus Pyrenophora teres is a major barley disease in Norway. It can cause grain shriveling and yield losses, and resistance in currently grown cultivars is insufficient. In this study, a set of 589 polymorphic SNP markers was used to map resistance loci in a population of 109 doubled haploid lines from a cross between the closely related Norwegian c...

Argentinean Vitis vinifera cultivars although originated from Europe, have clear ampelographic and genotypic differences as compared with the European cultivars currently used in wine making. In vitro evaluation of salt tolerance has been used in many species. Our hypothesis was that Argentinean cultivars are more tolerant to salinity than European ones. Three European cultivars, Malbec, Cabern...

The enantioselective synthesis of chiral [7]-helical dispirodihydro[2,1-c]indenofluorenes (DSF-IFs) was achieved for the first time in good yields with high er values (er up to 99 : 1). crucial step whole reaction sequence intramolecular [2+2+2] cycloaddition tethered triynediols indenofluorenediols, which catalyzed by a Rh/SEGPHOS® complex. Further transformations led corresponding DSF-IFs. pr...

Four uniform fungicide trials were planted in Michigan during 3 – 8 Oct 2005. The sites were at the Plant Pathology Farm, East Lansing MI, (inoculated with Fusarium graminearum and mist-irrigated); Bean and Beet Farm, Saginaw, MI (inoculated/not-irrigated); Sanilac, Sanilac County, MI and at Williamston, Ingham County, MI (not-inoculated/not-irrigated). Caledonia wheat, treated with Thiram 42S ...
