The antifungal activities of three supercritical CO2 (SCC) extracted cedar oils, Port-Orford-cedar (POC) (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana), Alaska yellow cedar (AYC) (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis), and Eastern red cedar (ERC) (Juniperus virginiana L), were evaluated against two common wood decay fungi, brown-rot fungi (Gloeophyllum trabeum) and white-rot fungi (Trametes versicolor). The statistical anal...

Seventeen blackberry cultivars were evaluated for postharvest fruit-rot resistance in June and July, 2003. Fully mature, undamaged berries were harvested on two dates for each genotype at the University of Arkansas Fruit Substation, Clarksville. After transporting in chilled coolers to the Plant Pathology Department in Fayetteville, two replications of 10 berries of each genotype were placed in...

For several years, a large variety of beams have been prepared in the LHC injectors, such as single-bunch and multi-bunch beams, with 25 ns, 50 ns and 75 ns bunch spacings, nominal and intermediate intensities per bunch. As compared to the nominal LHC beam (i.e. with nominal bunch intensity and 25 ns spacing) the other beams can be produced with lower transverse emittances. Beams of low transve...

Apple growers, private consultants, and extension specialists have all noted that bitter rot is increasingly common and is causing sporadic but economically significant losses throughout the northeastern and north central apple growing regions of North America. Forty years ago, bitter rot was considered a “southern disease” and apples with bitter rot were rarely observed in northern production ...

In order to achieve high luminosity in CLIC, ultra-low emittance bunches have to be generated in both electron and positron damping rings. To achieve this goal, big energy loss per turn in the wigglers has to be compensated by the RF system. This results in very strong beam loading transients affecting the longitudinal bunch position and bunch length. In this paper, the conceptual design of the...

Multi-bunch instabilities degrade beam quality through increased beam emittance, energy spread and even beam loss. Feedback systems are used to suppress multi-bunch instabilities associated with the resistive wall of the beam ducts, cavity-like structures, and trapped ions. A new digital transverse bunch-by-bunch feedback system has recently been commissioned at the Taiwan Light Source, and has...

9 CHILEAN JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH 76(2) APRIL-JUNE 2016 Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) root rot is an important disease of soybean under continuous cropping, and root rot is widely distributed throughout the world. This disease is extremely harmful, and it is difficult to prevent and control. The study aimed to elucidate the composition of root rot pathogenic fungal communities in th...

Incidence rates of diseases in kiwiberry orchards were investigated monthly from late June to late September in Gwangyang and Boseong in 2015 and 2016. The impact of postharvest fruit rot was investigated during ripening after harvest. Bacterial canker was only observed on one single tree in 2015, but black rot, powdery mildew, leaf spot and blight, and postharvest fruit rot diseases were probl...

The natural or induced development of noble rot caused by the fungus Botrytis cinerea during the late stages of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) berry ripening is used in some traditional viticulture areas to produce high-quality wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji. In this research, we wanted to verify if by changing the environmental conditions during post-harvest withering we could induce the no...

In March 2014, a kohlrabi stem rot sample was collected from the cold storage room of Daegwallyong Horticultural Cooperative, Korea. White and fuzzy mycelial growth was observed on the stem, symptomatic of stem rot disease. The pathogen was isolated from the infected stem and cultured on potato dextrose agar for further fungal morphological observation and to confirm its pathogenicity, accordin...
