Blueberry scorch virus(BlScV) is a carlavirus that causes a serious disease of blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) in North America (2). In aphid-transmission studies of BlScV using blueberry as host and test species, we found the rate of transmission to be low, and a lengthy incubation period was

Cranberry plants bearing disfigured, scarred fruit were reported by growers in the major cranberry-growing region of central Wisconsin in July 2012. Plants bearing scarred fruit have since been observed in Massachusetts and New Jersey. Three complementary methods provided evidence of Tobacco streak

Tobacco streak virus (TSV) has been detected in cranberry plants in Wisconsin, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, and is associated with berry scarring symptoms. In the current study, cv. Mullica Queen plants that produced scarred, symptomatic, TSV-positive fruit in one year produced nonscarred,

Chemical analysis of residues contained in the matrix of stone smoking pipes reveal a substantial direct biomolecular record of ancient tobacco (Nicotiana) smoking practices in the North American interior northwest (Plateau), in an area where tobacco was often portrayed as a Euro-American-introduced

CONCLUSIONS The K-domain of a blueberry-derived SOC1 -like gene promotes flowering in tobacco without negatively impacting yield, demonstrating potential for manipulation of flowering time in horticultural crops. UNASSIGNED The SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CONSTANS 1 (SOC1) and SOC1-likes,

The double-stranded DNA genome of Blueberry red ringspot virus (BRRV), a member of the family Caulimoviridae, was cloned and sequenced. The genome organization and relationships of the 8303 nt sequence revealed BRRV to be a tentative member of the genus that has been provisionally named "Soybean

Impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV; genus Tospovirus) was detected in experimental greenhouse-grown potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) and Nicotiana benthamiana in New York State in July and August of 2003 and 2004. Potato leaves exhibiting necrotic lesions with a concentric pattern similar to those

CONCLUSIONS The blueberry FLOWERING LOCUS T ( FT )-like gene ( VcFT ) cloned from the cDNA of a tetraploid, northern highbush blueberry ( Vaccinium corymbosum L.) is able to reverse the photoperiodic and chilling requirements and drive early and continuous flowering. UNASSIGNED Blueberry is a woody

Extracts of cranberry, rich in flavonols and proanthocyanins, inactivatedβ-glucuronidase (GUS) in assays using either purified bacterial GUS or preparations of transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) or transgenic cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) expressing thegusA gene. Histochemical GUS

Histochemical GUS

Elicitins produced by the pathogenic fungi Phytophthora are known to exhibit The elicitin cinnamomin is of nonspecific toxicity to different solanaceous plant species. particular interest for its potential role in the hypersensitive-like cell death and in the biological response of cranberry plants

Blueberry shock virus (BlShV), an Ilarvirus sp. reported only on blueberry, was associated with scarring, disfigurement, and premature reddening of cranberry fruit. BlShV was detected by triple-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction,

The Vaccinium genus in the family Ericaceae comprises many species, including the fruit-bearing blueberry, bilberry, cranberry, huckleberry, and lingonberry. Commercially, the most important are the blueberries (Vaccinium section Cyanococcus), such as Vaccinium corymbosum (northern highbush

BACKGROUND Streptococcus pneumoniae (Pnc), nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) and Moraxella catarrhalis (Mcat) are the most important bacterial pathogens associated with otitis media (OM). Previous studies have suggested that early upper respiratory tract (URT) bacterial carriage may increase

OBJECTIVE To determine pregnant women and new mothers' perception of risks in pregnancy. METHODS This was a large-scale multinational survey including 9113 pregnant women and new mothers from 18 countries in Europe, North America and Australia. RESULTS Risk perception scores (0-10) for harmful
