A Threat to the Future of Australian Grapes | Downy Mildew

Australian grape growers face a major challenge with downy mildew and other australian grapes diseases. This impact will continue to be felt as growers strive to recover from the loss of crops.

now that she's finally acquired some clarity, she can't help but notice there's a whole side of the world claire hasn't paid attention to - and in hindsight, it's not even too far from home. the search for clues about the corruption bleeding through the physical and metaphorical walls of terrasave has lead her to places that have little do to with what claire works with daily, even more confusing considering neil was counting on finding someone hooked with the black market channels

@saralans : never had a doubt, now i’m going crazy.

"yeah welcome to my life, been like this since i was nineteen." there's a hint of sarcasm in her tone, corner of lips slightly quirked up as hands fall deeper into pockets of her coat. "look, you can run a background check on me if you can't trust me right away - i would understand." and to be fair it's exactly what claire has done before deciding to speak with one of the influential names she's heard floating around through the grapevine.

"just be aware that the person i got this info from was planning on trading strains of viruses... which in the wrong hands could cause a huge mess." raccoon city was just the beginning, the terragrigia panic was one of the few open experiments before moving to larger scale - or at least that seemed to be the end goal according to neil's journal. "so you might want to calm down and check in with your boyfriend fast before one of the freakshows you got around here starts an outbreak for shits and giggles."

Plants, Vol. 12, Pages 3300: Complete Genome Characterization of Penicillimonavirus gammaplasmoparae, a Bipartite Member of the Family Mymonaviridae

In this study, we identified Plasmopara-viticola-lesion-associated mononegaambi virus 3 (recently classified as Penicillimonavirus gammaplasmoparae), a fungi-associated mymonavirus, in grapevine plants showing an unusual upward curling symptomatology on the leaves and premature decline. Mymonaviridae is a family comprising nine genera of negative-sense single-stranded #RNA viruses infecting filamentous fungi, although few of them have been associated with oomycetes, plants, and insects. Although the first mymonavirus genome description was reported a decade ago, the genome organization of several genera in the family, including the genus Penicillimonavirus, has remained unclear to date. We have determined the complete genome of P. gammaplasmoparae, which represents the first complete genomic sequence for this genus. Moreover, we provide strong evidence that P. gammaplasmoparae genome is bipartite and comprises two #RNA molecules of around 6150 and 4560 nt. Our results indicate that the grapevine powdery mildew pathogen, Erysiphe necator, was also present in the analyzed plants and suggest P. gammaplasmoparae could be infecting this fungus. However, whether the fungus and/or the mycovirus are associated with the symptomatology that initially prompted these efforts remains to be determined. https://www.mdpi.com/2223-7747/12/18/3300?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr

Abstract The high-yielding Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety is susceptible to viral diseases, which may influence the agrobiological and taste characteristics of its quality. The objectives of this study are to identify a Cabernet Sauvignon variety of clonal origin from the south of Ukraine, detect the infection of plants of this variety with harmful grape viruses incorporated into the certification system of planting materials, determine the causative agent of viral diseases by biomolecular methods, and establish the nucleotide sequence of the 2CCP envelope protein gene of detected grape viruses. As a result of phytosanitary survey, some Cabernet Sauvignon grape bushes of clonal origin with symptoms of grapevine fanleaf virus (CFLV) and grapevine leaf roll-associated virus (GLRaV) have been revealed. The results of grape virus identification by the real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) have demonstrated the presence of grapevine fanleaf virus in grape plants with infection symptoms. As a result of sequencing, it has been established that the nucleotide sequence of an isolate from the Cabernet Sauvignon variety is very close to the samples from regions geographically distant from Ukraine, first of all, the United States, Iran, and France. Based on microsatellite analysis, it has been proven that specifically the Cabernet Sauvignon variety of clonal origin is infected with grapevine fanleaf virus. The obtained 2CCP envelope protein gene sequence has been deposited with the international GenBank database with no. MN072356.1.

Spotify Wrapped Starters - 3 O'Clock Things

Work was fucking rough lately, rougher than the angry side of a beaver (its tail. apparently those things are rough). V found themself stuck between the rocks and hard places of gigs that didn't just want a singular merc. Those jobs were always harder to get your hands on, and uh, V wasn't the best at making work friends. Normal friends, way easier! Normal friends liked their jokes! Work friends? Work friends wanted work to be done and that was like... stress city. Vale needed some fun, some give and take, some cheer to put their work into high gear.

Nowadays, all people wanted were big teams with netrunner support. Hell, people were judging mercenary squads based on their netrunners alone. Which!! Totally wasn't fair! That shit was gonkbrained! Vale got a lot of work done, and that was without proper support on the Net! Sure, they got viruses! And sure, they dealt with a lot of daemons and fixing broken ICE, but come on! This was just a job where Vale needed to dish out some signal interference and get the Net all kinds of fucked up in Maelstrom territory. They needed to ruin comms and then steal their new drones! Simple stuff! But not simple alone.

"So, uh." Vale sat on their holo in their room, basking in the glow of 3 o'clock in the morning, trying to reach out to the Runner known as EUTYCHUS. It was a name they heard some references for. Figured it was safer to try and have a nice facetime call before meeting in person. "You're prolly busy doin' netrunnin' stuff, but, uh. Was wondering!! If you would like to make a deal! Call it a business venture, call it a deal, call it whatever, I'm a merc in need of Net support. Heard your name in the grapevine, so here I am! Name's V, by the way!"

One of my mom's friends had a cat who, while young, had to have all her teeth removed because everything was horrible and smelled like death. Later on I heard through the grapevine that the poor baby's body was actually attacking her teeth, like she was allergic to them or something. What's up with that? Is there a reason that would cause a cat's body to attack her teeth and just turn them into rotting chunks of grossness?

gettingvetted here.

It sounds like that cat had stomatitis, which is a blanket term for extensive, chronic and painful inflammation in the mouth. Up to 4% of cats have this disease.  Researchers haven't yet discovered the cause of stomatitis in cats. They know that affected cats have altered immune function, but it's not clear why. Viruses, bacteria and periodontal disease are all thought to contribute to the disease, but scientists don't know what makes affected cats' immune systems go haywire in response to plaque and bacteria. Some studies suggest a link between stomatitis and calicivirus, a virus that causes upper respiratory disease in cats. Viruses that affect the immune system, like feline leukemia virus (FLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), may also play a role. All that scientists know for sure is that affected cats develop a disproportionate reaction to plaque and bacteria that leads to excessive inflammation in the mouth.

To the woman who assaulted me at Ace Hardware today,

Jan. 15, 2021

I am your neighbor in Frazier Park. I love this mountain and feel so blessed to live here. You must enjoy its beauty as much as I do, because it is unsurpassed. The woods and wildlife give me solace. I have also always had good experiences among the humans of the mountain, shopping locally, where we all know each other and everyone is friendly. I like supporting our community and keeping everyone working and happy. I’ve never had a bad time shopping in Frazier Park, so it was somewhat of a shock to meet you this way today.

My husband and I were picking up some bird seed at Ace Hardware. If you live in Frazier Park and not in Pine Mountain Club, it’s still legal to feed the birds! We love our feathered friends. They have also been giving me nice brass shavings from their key machine which I use to make orgonite, an energy device which promotes rainfall, clears air pollution, and makes living with EMF safer. My husband, Gabe, and I have been making and gifting orgonite for almost seven years now, and we have covered all of California and much of the US west to end the drought. You might be interested to know that we have put orgonite all over this mountain too. It sure has been snowing more and more every year since we got here and the forests are alive with new baby trees, far outnumbering the trees that die of old age. There were awesome wildflower blooms out in the Antelope Valley and Gorman these past few years. It might also comfort you to know that there are Earth pipes along San Andreas Fault here and at the top of Mt. Pinos, healing the damage that was done here by your ancestors, who stole the land from the Chumash Indians and clear-cut the forests. This will help prevent earthquakes. We have gifted somewhere around 200 orgonite pieces to these mountains, from the Grapevine to the Central Coast. I wrote a book about it too. Our life and most of our resources have gone into planetary healing.

Now that you know a little more about me, I would like to know more about you. I wasn’t covering my face today like you were because I am not a member of your religion. We should be tolerant of other peoples’ beliefs. I am tolerant of your choice to hide your face from your Creator, although I don’t agree with it. I would never hit you and insult you for wearing a mask or for any other reason. What told you that I was to be deplored because of my exposed nose and mouth? When you called me a “f-ing b-tch” and punched me in the ribs, it didn’t hurt physically because you’re old and weak. But I was wondering if it was your mom or dad who taught you to do that? Did you learn it in school or in church? I’ve never been cursed at and hit by an old woman before.

I put on the mask in order not to offend you, although I didn’t have to. You continued to yell, and you were very close to me when you yelled that I would infect you. If I’m so disgusting and disease-ridden, it would be a good idea to stand a few feet away from me when you insult me. I think about 6 feet should do it. It’s also not a good idea to punch a sick person because you could get my germs on your hand. How come you disappeared out the back door when I called out, “She assaulted me!” If you’re right, you should stick around.

Incidentally, soon after we met, I tried to run into the grocery store to grab some garlic. Like at the hardware store, the employees there never get on my case for my need to breathe and show the face God gave me. I got verbally assaulted there by a customer again, which wasn’t as bad as being hit and verbally assaulted at the same time. But the woman there was much younger than you, so you may want to give her some pointers on how to really hurt your neighbor. She said, “You’re killing my family.” She also blamed me for her sick dog. It was more likely a combination of pinworms, Ascaris, a variety of liver and intestinal flukes, some tapeworms, solvents and heavy metals that killed them, along with the ventilators they pop peoples’ lungs with if they come into the hospital with a cold. I’m reading a fascinating book right now called The Cure for All Diseases by Dr. Hulda Clark. It explains all of these diseases you think are infectious and how to cure them. You need to zap your parasites and stop sharing your worms! Stop putting filth in your mouth and reinfecting yourself, says Dr. Clark. Germs are not jumping around in the air. You can learn to heal anything that’s wrong with you with this book.

In your case, you’re definitely watching too much news. I would venture to guess you’re also taking an assortment of pharmaceutical drugs which are masking symptoms of your own worms and the bacteria and viruses they carry. You probably use a smart phone. Lots of old people who don’t even understand the technology do. I wish you would be more like my grandma, who never hit a lady in the store nor uttered an obscenity. She never would have used a smart phone either. She was beautiful, strong, dignified, spoke several languages, loved fine art, cooked great meals and enjoyed life. It’s sad what a shriveled lump of fear you’re become. My grandma survived the very oppression you are doling out today by a miracle of God. Goodness knows, her life was in danger every moment for being Jewish and from Germany at the wrong time. Now I also feel like I’m in danger. If you’ll physically assault a stranger for having a different belief, then what if someone stronger or armed would do it? This is not something I want to find out. Fortunately I have a relationship with God who protects me and am saved by Messiah Yeshua. He reconciled me back to God who forgave my sin of falling into pagan culture like you have. Your world is a fantasy land, but it’s really more like a nightmare, and it is dying like you have died.

There were a few people in the store after you fled the scene who showed me sympathy. But I now know how bad things have gotten. You showed me that today. You made me feel physically sick, not just emotionally distressed, with a little help from your insane ally at the grocery store. Just last week I could go into most places in Frazier Park with my face showing. It seems your time is running out and your world is spiraling out of control. For now, I would rather not argue with you. I will cover my face in your presence and you won’t know I don’t worship your god. It gives me more inspiration to become more self-reliant and less dependent on the businesses of your world. I hate the mask with a passion. I hate what it represents and how you look in it. I think it’s very sad that you love your pathetic false god and believe this absolutely ridiculous narrative to the point that you would assault another woman. C0VID is a mental illness!

Well that’s all for now. I hope to hear from you soon. Maybe you will realize it was wrong to hit me and curse at me and I’ll forgive you. Then we can be friends and have a kosher barbeque when the weather warms up. I’m not holding my breath, no pun intended.

Your neighbor,

Sharon Daphna

I don't know if you ship Carlos x Leon, but if you do, prompt: "You don’t know what you do to me, do you?”

 (I do! ;) I love that ship! So, here’s a little AU where Carlos and Tyrell had previously bumped into Leon during the Raccoon City Incident and then Carlos joined the BSAA and became one of its founding members. The organizations that Leon worked for over the years frequently work with the BSAA and eventually they become a joint organization, so Carlos watches Leon grow from this naive rookie to the hot DSO Agent we know and love. 

Let’s just say, Carlos can’t keep his eyes to himself.) 

________________________________________________________________

When Carlos had first met Leon, he was this meek little rookie police officer wandering aimlessly around the RPD. It had mostly been in passing while he and Tyrell searched the place for survivors and Dr. Bard. Even from a distance, he was smitten with the beautiful man. Back then, he didn’t get anything more than “Leon” when he finally did bump into the younger, although he would later find out that he and Leon were actually the same age, the police officer had decided that it had been better to split up and cover more ground. Carlos had agreed, but felt guilty. Leon had been unaware that Carlos and Tyrell wouldn’t be sticking around the Police Station for very long, that they needed to pursue their own mission.

Carlos had wished that he had stayed by his side and helped him out. During the whole mess, the city seemed to get worse and worse, and Carlos couldn’t help but worry about the rookie. He had been haunted afterward because, after he and Jill left Raccoon, he had been left wondering if the police officer had even made it out. Leon had been doing pretty well on his own, but could he survive the city before it ate him alive? Like it ate the others? 

He had joined Jill and Chris Redfield and their merry band of leftover STARS Officers. Chris hadn’t been very happy when he had discovered that Carlos had been a part of UBCS, but after Jill talked him down and explained what had happened, Chris had calmed down and accepted his help. The man and Barry Burton had been grateful that Carlos risked his life and kept Jill safe. Although he should have felt better, he didn’t...considering what may or may not have happened to Leon and the others. 

He hadn’t felt like a lifesaver. 

But not even six months later, Carlos got the shock of his life; Leon had made it out alive after all. The rookie had somehow tracked their team down to a safehouse in France, Carlos and Chris coming back from a cafe when a blond man with shades and a brown trench coat stopped them, asking mainly for Chris. Had Carlos not recognized his facial features and the style of his hair, Chris surely would have attacked Leon. 

Apparently, Leon had survived Raccoon with the help of Claire Redfield, Chris’s little sister, and they had managed to save a little girl as well. Leon came there because Claire had gone looking for Chris and got into some trouble. At the time, she had been arrested by Umbrella and ended up in their prison on Rockford Island. Carlos had missed the smaller details, too entranced by the blond’s beauty. Once he was done conversing with Chris, Leon had turned to him with a small smile, asking Carlos how he had been. It had only been six months, but it had felt like years, so Carlos shouldn’t have been surprised that Leon remembered him. 

Over the years, Leon had gone from a distant memory to a frequent character in Carlos’s life. Leon had managed to convince the organizations that he worked with over the years to form a partnership with the BSAA. They frequently worked together to take down Umbrella and anyone else who had taken over their operations and peddled BOWs and the viruses that created them. Carlos watched Leon go from inexperienced and admittedly adorable rookie to a gorgeous seasoned agent. 

When he would flutter in and out of the office, Leon always wore a smile that lit up the room. He would work with everyone, he greeted every single person and seemingly knew everyone by name. Though, Leon’s favorite “hang-outs” were Carlos’s desk and Chris and Jill’s office. Leon would spend hours doing paperwork at Carlos’s desk, sharing conversation and bantering back and forth. Then, they would go out on a lunch break, going to the same deli for sandwiches. And Carlos looked forward to his company every day. 

It was when Leon had come back to hand in the report from Harvardville when Carlos finally asked him out on a date. Leon had been a bit taken back by that, and it probably didn’t help that Carlos had hit him with a cheesy pick-up line. The brunet blushed and didn’t give Carlos a definite answer, saying that he would have to think about it due to his busy schedule. Carlos played it off like it wasn’t a big deal and tried to be a good sport, but internally, he felt let down. 

Maybe Leon wasn’t as interested in him like he previously thought? Maybe Carlos had been wishfully thinking and read the wrong signs? 

Respecting his wishes, Carlos decided to keep his distance once more, watching from the sidelines and going back to admiring him from afar. He had heard through the grapevine that Leon was seeing someone, a mysterious woman whom the agent frequently ran into. Carlos couldn’t help the twinge of jealousy he felt, wanting to know just who this woman was. Although, Carlos technically had no right. Leon was a grown man, who was he to say who Leon could and couldn’t date? 

Regardless of what he told himself, it still didn’t ease the sting. 

The days started to blend together, and Leon still sat at his desk to do his paperwork, acting as though Carlos hadn’t asked him out. They continued their friendship, much to Carlos’s relief...and disappointment, but he had decided that he would rather Leon reject him and that they continued to be friends over Leon not wanting to see him again. 

Carlos got older and felt like he didn’t look very different from the cocky bastard he had been in Raccoon...but Leon? The agent outgrew his baby face and aged like the finest fucking wine in the cellar. He looked more fit for a runway or a magazine than a secret agent. Though, Carlos imagined Leon’s missions were like that of James Bond, a hot agent who went on adventures, got the girl and went on a sort of vacation after a job well done. 

Little did he know, Leon’s life wasn’t as interesting as he thought. 

(Read the rest here and let me know if I should make it a series or multi-chaptered! Feedback appreciated!)

Scale Insects

I found mealybugs on one of my plants at home and it prompted me to look at it under the microscope (in photo below). It was a mild infestation and there were mainly two sizes of these white insects. The photo below shows a female adult turned over. 

Background 

Order: Hemiptera Suborder: Sternorrhyncha Superfamily: Coccoidea ~8,000 spp, > 30 families

Types of scale bugs include mealybugs (Pseudococcidae), armored scales (Diaspididae) and soft scales (Coccidae), lac insects  (Kerriidae), and iceryines (Monophlebidae). They display sexual dimorphism, in which the adult females retain their nymph like features (a condition known as neotony), while the adult males possess two-wings (the other two has become vestigial) and lack functional mouthparts. Few scale insect species transmit viruses, notably on citruses, grapevines and pineapples. Natural enemies for biological control include entomopathogenic fungi, lady beetles (Coccinellidae), larval gall midges (Cecidomyiidae), wasp parasitoids (mainly Encyrtidae), and others.

Invasive species 

International trade has proven to be a successful mode of dispersal considering the female’s sessile lifestyle. Reproduction modes (e.g. parthenogenesis and hermaphroditism) and a generalist diet (polyphagy) allow for further spread of scale insects. 

Case studies 

The Australian cottony-cushion scale, Icerya purchasi threatened the Californian citrus industry in the late nineteenth century. However, it has since been controlled by deliberate introduction of the coccinellid Rodolia cardinalis and the parasitic fly Cryptochetum iceryae (in photo below), both native to Australia. 

The citrus mealybug, Planococcus citri, is a highly polyphagous and cosmopolitan species that causes damage to many crops. It is vector of virus A (GVA) and Leafroll Associated Virus 3 (GLRaV-3) (photo below) on grapevine, as well as of swollen-shoot virus disease of cacao in Ghana.

The cassava mealybug Phenacoccus manihoti was threatening the cassava crops of Africa. The release of the wasp Apoanagyrus lopezi (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) led to control of this pest. The introduction of parasitoid wasps on the mango mealy bug Rastrococcus invadens, and on the ink  hibiscus  mealybug (PHM), Maconellicoccus hirsutus were also successful. On the other hand,  no successful control program for the  cotton or solenopsis mealybug,  Phenacoccus solenopsis, particularly in India and Pakistan, has been found. Similarly for the cycad scale, Aulacaspis yasumatsui (photo below), which is a major threat to native and ornamental cycads in the U.S.A., the Pacific, and Asia. 

In the photo above: Mealy bug larvae (top) should not be mistaken for mealybugs (bottom) as they are good biocontrol agents.

The increased possibility of the spread of disease and infection is a horrible threat for your canine clients, is not that great for humans, and even worse for your bottom line if word of contamination gets out to the community through the grapevine.. No Additive For Urine---As effective as carbon is for odors and gases, it won;t remove the urine smell without help of an additive that is specifically designed to get rid of the ammonia smell that can be so offensive.

The result will be clients (both 4-legged and 2-legged), and staff who breathe air that is healthier, fresher, and clean smelling. And then there are those times when they get sick, roll in something they shouldn;t, or just give off that smell that dog-lovers refer to as the "doggie smell". Only consider a unit that mentions an additive for urine, or you will be sorely disappointed, and so will your nose. And unfortunately in a kennel airborne bacteria and viruses use these airborne particulates to ride from one host to another. Minus the HEPA---Hair, dander, fur, and other particles the dogs will literally drag in can make for air that is thick. And there;s no down side to that is there?

Plants, Vol. 12, Pages 3292: The First Virome of a Russian Vineyard

Among other pathogens, more than 80 viruses infect grapevine. The aim of this work was to study the virome diversity of grapevine viruses and mycoviruses of a vineyard using high-throughput sequencing technologies. The grapevine virome was studied in symptomatic vines of the Rkatsiteli cultivar (V. vinifera) collected at the vineyards of the Krasnodar Krai in Russia. Ribosomal-depleted total #RNA and isolated small #RNAs were used for library preparation and high-throughput sequencing. Six grapevine-infecting viruses and two viroids were validated by RT-PCR and analyzed phylogenetically. We identified the presence of grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3, grapevine Pinot gris virus, grapevine virus T, grapevine rupestris stem-pitting-associated virus, grapevine fleck virus, and grapevine rupestris vein feathering virus, as well as two viroids, grapevine yellow speckle viroid 1 and hop stunt viroid. We also studied the mycovirome of the vineyard and identified nine viruses with single-stranded positive-sense #RNA genomes: alternaria arborescens mitovirus 1, botrytis cinerea mitovirus 1, botrytis cinerea mitovirus 2, botrytis cinerea mitovirus 3, botrytis cinerea mitovirus 4, sclerotinia sclerotiorum mitovirus 3, botrytis cinerea hypovirus 1, grapevine-associated narnavirus 1, and botrytis virus F. In addition, we identified botrytis cinerea hypovirus 1 satellite-like #RNA and two single-stranded negative-sense #RNA viruses. This is the first study of grapevine mycoviruses in Russia. The obtained result will contribute to the development of biocontrol strategies in the future. https://www.mdpi.com/2223-7747/12/18/3292?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr
