The spread of vector-transmitted pathogens relies on complex interactions between host, vector and pathogen. In sessile plant pathosystems, the a pathogen highly depends movement mobility vector. However, questions remain as to whether how pathogen-induced manipulations may affect Here we report for first time that infection with bacterial increases probability dispersal, such vectors is likely manipulated by We investigated Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) affects dispersal...
Significance Almost all grain crops grown on commercial farms are hybrid cultivars because these plants reliably healthier, larger, and more productive than their inbred parent lines. The widespread valuable phenomenon of superiority is called heterosis. Despite over a century intensive research into heterosis, it unclear how or why genomes give rise to superior phenotypes. Most hypotheses thus far have focused genetic physiological mechanisms In contrast, this article presents evidence for...
This paper uses suburb‐level quarterly data to model residential water demand in Brisbane, Australia, from 1998 2003. In this system, consumption is charged using a fixed annual service fee with no entitlement followed by volumetric charge per kilolitre. Water specified as average household and the characteristics include marginal price of water, income size, number rainy warm days. The findings not only confirm inelastic, but also that elasticity owner‐occupied households higher than rented...
The Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri Kuwayama) is an insect pest capable of transmitting Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), the causal agent greening in North America. D. also harbors three endosymbionts, Wolbachia, Carsonella ruddii, and Profftella armatura, which may influence physiology fitness. Although genomic researches on these bacteria have been conducted, much remains unclear regarding their ecology inter-population variability citri. present work examined densities...
The symbiotic relationships between bacteria of the genus Wolbachia (order Rickettsiales) and their arthropod hosts are diverse can range from mutualism to parasitism. Whereas effects on host biology well investigated, little is known about diversity abundance in natural hosts. phloem-feeding Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri (Kuwayama) (Hemiptera: Liviidae), naturally infected with (wDi). In current study, we calculated within-host density Florida D. populations using quantitative...
Wolbachia can profoundly influence the survival, reproduction, and defenses of insect hosts. These interactions could potentially be harnessed for managing pests or insect-transmitted diseases. Diaphorina citri Kuwayama is a phloem-feeding pest capable transmitting putative causal agent citrus greening, Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas). Like many insects, D. also infected with (wDi). Recent studies indicate that relative abundance wDi associated CLas, may contribute to regulating...
This paper uses monthly data from eleven local governments to model residential water demand in Queensland, Australia 1994 2004. In the sample, consumption is charged using a variety of structures including fixed charges without allowance, with allowance and excess rates, two-part tariffs comprising an access charge flat rate, multi-part two or more limits increasing rates. Water specified as average household characteristics include marginal price daily maximum temperatures rainfall. The...
Steam has long been used to disinfest greenhouse soils. However, there is increasing interest in expanding the use of steam for in-field soil disinfestation as an alternative chemical fumigants. Previous studies demonstrated that allyl-isothiocyanate (AITC) reduced viability weed seeds and plant pathogen propagules, but AITC a low vapor pressure relatively immobile soil. Heat past enhance mobility fumigants such methyl bromide (i.e., “hot gassing”). The effect heat on unknown. objective this...
On étudie l’estimation non-paramétrique du coefficient de diffusion à partir d’observations discrètes, lorsque les observations sont bruitées par un bruit additionnel. De tels problèmes se développés au cours des dix dernières années dans plusieurs champs d’application, en particuler pour la modélisation données haute fréquence finance, cependant plutôt d’un point vue paramétrique ou semi-paramétrique. Ce travail concerne trajectoire (éventuellement stochastique) cadre relativement général....
The combination of increasing costs, climate change, and disease- pest-related issues present large challenges for the strawberry ( Fragaria × ananassa ) industry in United States. This is especially true Southeast, where rain, frost, a range foliar, fruit, soil-borne diseases are prevalent, leading to significant losses every year. Simultaneously, niche winter markets open opportunity extend harvest season, an push use protected culture production. Tabletop soilless greenhouse production...
Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) is a glucosinolate produced in cruciferous plant species. AITC known to act as pesticide on microorganisms, insects, and weeds. Synthetic registered biopesticide for agricultural soil treatment use the United States elsewhere world. Although potent pesticide, reports weed pathogen control efficacy of synthetic applied disinfectant are highly variable. Due low vapor pressure AITC, questions remain whether pest can be improved by combining it with other chemicals....
Idiopathic or congenital coronary artery ectasias and aneurysms are uncommon forms of disease. The prognosis optimal management such patients remains unknown. authors describe the case an otherwise healthy 30-year-old man with concomitant severe right ectasia left main aneurysm who sustained a mild anterior myocardial infarction. There was no obstructive disease, cause for lesions could be identified. Chronic anticoagulation antiplatelet therapy were initiated resolution symptoms.

ABSTRACT Hybrids account for nearly all commercially planted varieties of maize and many other crop plants, because crosses between inbred lines these species produce F1 offspring that greatly outperform their parents. The mechanisms underlying this phenomenon, called heterosis or hybrid vigor, are not well understood despite over a century intensive research (1). leading hypotheses—which focus on quantitative genetic (dominance, overdominance, epistasis) molecular (gene dosage...
