Summary Wisteria is a legume genus composed of lianas with disjunct distribution, occurring in temperate zones eastern Asia and the United States, being also introduced numerous countries as an ornamental. The anatomy wood has been previously studied for W. sinensis only some characteristics phloem have reported this species. Here we describe overall bark four species identify diagnostic, infor...

An approach to modelling volatile financial return series using stationary d-vine copula processes combined with Lebesgue-measure-preserving transformations known as v-transforms is proposed. By developing a method of stochastically inverting v-transforms, models are constructed that can describe both stochastic volatility in the magnitude price movements and serial correlation their directions...

Hybridization of introduced domesticates and closely related natives is well documented in annual crops. The widespread introduction of the domesticated grapevine, Vitis vinifera, into California where it overlaps with two native congenerics, with which it is interfertile, provides opportunity to investigate hybridization between woody perennials. Although geographically widespread, the introdu...

Plant–soil biota represent a unique living system crucial for improving crops’ adaptation to climate change. In vineyards, plant–soil relations are mediated by rootstock–scion interaction, with grafted vines being the main plant material employed in vineyard planting. The interaction between two deeply different biological systems such as Vitis vinifera sativa and American species may modify vi...

abstract large-scale mortality of in vitro raisedplantlets occurred during acclimatization, i.e. glasshouse hardening, and later at field transfer still has remained as a significant bottleneck in micropropagation. the usefulness potential of some arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) to minimize mortality rate of three commercial grape rootstock genotypes during glasshouse acclimatization was stu...

One of the biggest advances in recent years for high-dimensional copula models and applications has been the development of the vine pair-copula construction that covers continuous and discrete variables, and its extensions to include latent variables. Software has been made available in the VineCopula R package and the package that is companion to the book by Joe [6]. This special issue of the...
