FIRST DETECTION OF GRAPEVINE RUPESTRIS STEM PITTING-ASSOCIATED VIRUS AND GRAPEVINE RUPESTRIS VEIN FEATHERING VIRUS, AND NEW PHYLOGENETIC GROUPS FOR GRAPEVINE FLECK VIRUS AND HOP STUNT VIROID ISOLATES, REVEALED FROM GRAPEVINE FIELD SURVEYS IN SPAIN

First detection of Grapevine rupestris stem pitting-associated virus and Grapevine rupestris vein feathering virus, and new phylogenetic groups for Grapevine fleck virus and Hop stunt viroid isolates, revealed from grapevine field surveys in Spain

Evaluation of the prevalence of virus and viroid infections was conducted in a grapevine field collection in Valencia, Spain.Samples of autochthonous and traditional grapevine cultivars were collected during November 2011 and tested Credenzas for the presence of fourteen viruses and five viroids, using RT-PCR.The prevalent viruses were Grapevine ru

Identification of varieties and gene flow in Douglas fir exemplified in artificially established stands in Germany

Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] is an economically valuable non-native tree species in Germany and is considered very promising in view of global climate change.Therefore, the genetic characterization of Douglas-fir populations and seed stands in Germany is essential.We studied coastal and interior Douglas-fir varieties, both pre

Thermodynamic properties of liquid InNa alloys

Concept of complex formation model has been applied to account for the thermodynamic properties of liquid InNa alloy.The theoretical study reveals that the intermetallic compound In3Na2 exists at stoichiometric composition.Our expressions reproduce successfully the Turkey Tail asymmetric behaviour of free energy of mixing, enthalpy of mixing, s-typ
