Miscanthus x giganteus, energycane, and Panicum virgatum (switchgrass) are three potential biomass crops being evaluated for commercial cellulosic ethanol production. Viral diseases are potentially significant threats to these crops. Therefore, identification of viruses infecting these bioenergy crops is important for quarantine purposes, virus resistance breeding, and production of virus-free ...

Given a variety V, we provide an axiomatization Φ(V) of the class SCmV of complex algebras of algebras in V. Φ(V) can be obtained effectively from the axiomatization of V; in fact, if this axiomatization is recursively enumerable, then Φ(V) is recursive. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification. 06E25, 03G15, 03C25.

A variant ofSCMV-D is the most common strain of sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) occurring in sugarcane in the coastal hinterland and high altitude areas of Natal. In field trials conducted at Mount Edgecombe and Eston this strain decreased the yield of recoverable sugar from variety NCo 376 by 30 to 42 % and that from variety Nl2 by 15 to 30% when all the stalks were infected. Losses in yield wer...

Yield and ear quality of sweet corn (Zea mays L.) can be reduced by maize dwarf mosaic (MDM). When Janson and Ellett (6) first reported the disease from southern Ohio, they observed nearly total losses in fields of late-planted sweet corn. Yield reduction due to MDM and symptom expression are affected by the growth stage at which sweet corn is infected (5,12, 18,25). When late plantings of swee...

Among seed-transmitted cereal viruses the most important is Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV), infecting barley. Investigations on the occurrence of BSMV in Poland have been carried out in the Institute of Plant Protection in Poznań since 2000. The studies aimed at the evaluation of the BSMV distribution in plant material, the rate of its seed transmission in different barley cultivars and the ...
