Abstract:
... Evaluation of the changes in gait spatiotemporal parameters and functional mobility with using assistive devices (ADs) would provide useful information and mutual assistance when prescribing such ambulatory devices. This study aimed to investigate the spatiotemporal gait and functional mobility parameters in healthy adults when walking using different ADs. A group of healthy subjects participated ...

Abstract:
... Ratooning ability is important for sugarcane (Saccharum spp.), but due to time constraints relevant third ratoon yield data is not gathered before breeding selections are made. If third ratoon could be predicted, selections would improve. Machine learning (ML) techniques utilize yield variables to create predictors. Yield variables from 11 locations, 24 genotypes, and 20 cycles were used in a mode ...
... Timing of pruning may affect wound susceptibility to wood-invading fungi, such as those associated with grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs). This study aimed to determine the effect of pruning time on natural fungal infection in six vineyards in Galicia, Spain, during two periods of three months each, from November to February and from February to May by ITS2 high-throughput amplicon sequencing. Funga ...
... Viticultural waste has been widely demonstrated to contain high-added value compounds named the stilbenes. Among them, trans-resveratrol (Rsv) and trans-ε-viniferin (Vf) are the most abundant in particular in grape canes. Various emerging methods such as ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) or pressurized solvent extraction (PSE) have been studied to recover Rs ...
... The most important exotic leafhopper pests currently affecting the Italian vineyards are the leafhoppers Scaphoideus titanus, Orientus ishidae and the planthopper Metcalfa pruinosa. Their highest population density is detected in the uncultivated areas with wild grapevines. Should these habitats be considered only a problem or a potential resource for Palearctic entomophagy of these three exotic p ...
... A single step Direct real-time quantitative reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (DRT-qPCR) was applied and optimized for the detection of Grapevine rupestris stem-pitting associated virus (GRSPaV) in grapevine. A probe and primer set were designed from conserved genomic regions from eight GRSPaV accessions from GenBank and used with the Direct Plant Extraction Buffer (DiPE ...

Abstract:
... The best documented method to decrease predation of breeding seabirds by gulls are culling regimes; however, studies on the effectiveness of this method show ambiguous results. Here we tested an alternative method, using bamboo canes erected in four breeding sites of Arctic Tern Sterna paradisaea as a gull‐deterrent. Although we found fewer predation attempts in the caned areas than in the control ...
... BACKGROUND: Grapevine canes represent a large source of waste derived from grape cultivation. In the present study, the effect of different processes of storage and different pruning times on the stilbene accumulation on Pinot noir canes was analyzed. Whether the alteration of the secondary metabolism accompanying leafroll symptom expressions could affect the stilbenoid accumulation in canes harve ...
... Solid set canopy delivery systems (SSCDS) are novel ways of pesticide spray applications in modern high–density orchards and vineyards. Through our prior efforts, SSCDS variants have been tested and adjusted to provide optimal system configurations for spray application in high–density apple orchards and vineyards. This present study compared two prior optimized variants of an SSCDS comprising tre ...

Abstract:
... Viticultural byproducts are known to contain high-value compounds such as stilbenes. The wine sector in Savoie Mont Blanc region (France) generates a great amount of waste, including grape canes and grapevine stocks that remain unvalued. Herein, the potential of the most widespread grapevine varieties in the Savoie Mont Blanc territory, Jacquère and Mondeuse, as sources of two stilbenes, trans-re ...

Abstract:
... An experiment was conducted during 2015–2016 to 2017–2018 at UP Council of Sugarcane Research, Shahjahanpur. Ten promising sugarcane varieties, viz. CoS 12232, CoS 14232, CoS 06279, CoS 10231, CoS 13231, Co 0238, CoS 09232, CoS 08276, CoS 08279 and CoSe 01434, were used for the evaluation of drought-tolerant varieties suitable for planting under water stress condition. Two moisture levels, normal ...

Abstract:
... Red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) is an expanding high-value berry crop worldwide. The presence of prickles, outgrowths of epidermal tissues lacking vasculature, on the canes, petioles, and undersides of leaves complicates both field management and harvest. The utilization of cultivars with fewer prickles or prickle-free canes simplifies production. A previously generated population segregating for ...

Abstract:
... Wine-making produces a variety of biological wastes, such as grape canes, leaves, stems, shoots, etc. These materials constitute attractive sources of biological substances, such as stilbenes (stilbenoids). The grape canes alone possess a considerably greater content of these health-beneficial substances than the berries; of those, trans-resveratrol is among the best known components, in addition ...
... BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The postponement of spur pruning after budburst has recently been proposed as a simple and inexpensive way to delay sugaring, maintain acidity and contain yield in spur‐pruned trellised grapes. Yet, no long‐term data are available for the widely adopted cane pruning system. METHODS AND RESULTS: Mature field grown Vitis vinifera L. cv. Pinot Noir vines were subjected for three ...

Abstract:
... Cavity-nesting bees and wasps (Hymenoptera: Aculeata) can be good models for studies on ecology, life history, and environmental changes, especially in ecosystem ‘hotspots’ such as the threatened Brazilian Savannah biome. We aim to study the diversity and interaction networks of cavity-nesting wasps and bees as well as their natural enemies in two physiognomies of the Brazilian savannah: woody sav ...

Abstract:
... On the one hand there is an enormous amount of underutilized side-streams rich in bioactives during wine-production, while on the other hand there is a growing demand for promising phytochemicals for e.g. dietary and pharmaceutical purposes. In the present study we analyzed the stilbenoid contents of grape canes and grape cluster stems collected in Germany. Likewise we investigated the effect of l ...
... Zhejiang Province of China is a critical area of kiwifruit production with 10,000 ha and approximately 82,800 metric tons per year. In September 2019, a new disease was observed on kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis var. chinensis) cultivar ‘Hongyang’ in Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, China. About 3% of diseased plants were observed in orchards of approximately 15 ha. Symptoms were characterized by r ...

Abstract:
... Significant genetic diversity for sucrose and fibre percentages exists in the species that served as the foundation of present day sugarcane cultivars. However, information is lacking worldwide on the recent contributions of sugarcane crop wild relatives (mainly Saccharum, Erianthus and Miscanthus wild species) in developing new varieties. There is renewed interest in using those relatives for cre ...

Abstract:
... Excessive and inappropriate use of fertilizers is a key factor of low sugarcane yield and degradation of soil. A two-year (2013–14 and 2014–15) field study was conducted to assess the impact of combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizers on sugarcane at research farm of Shakarganj Sugar Research Institute, Jhang, Pakistan. Experiment was conducted under randomized complete block desi ...
... Due to their biological activities, both in plants and in humans, there is a great interest in finding natural sources of phenolic compounds or ways to artificially manipulate their levels. During the last decade, a significant amount of these compounds has been reported in the vegetative organs of the vine plant. In the roots, woods, canes, stems, and leaves, at least 183 phenolic compounds have ...
