Longstreth, Richard. "The Neighborhood Shopping Center in Washington, D. C., 1930-1941." Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians 51, no. 1 (March 1, 1992): 5–34. http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/990638.
Full textAbstract:
During the 1930s the neighborhood shopping center emerged as an important phenomenon in the development of retail facilities in the United States. Prior to that decade, the type was limited to a modest number of examples built as components of planned residential subdivisions for the well-to-do. By the eve of World War II, the neighborhood shopping center was seen as an advantageous means of meeting the routine needs of people in outlying urban areas generally. During the 1930s, the neighborhood center also became one of the first common building forms to experience a basic reconfiguration to accommodate patterns of widespread automobile usage. Washington, D. C., was the initial and by far the most intensive proving ground for this work at its formative stage. The results were influential nationwide in the shopping center's transformation from a novelty to a ubiquitous feature of the American landscape.

Full textAbstract:
Red raspberry production in the western United States is heavily reliant on preplant soil fumigation to ensure the successful establishment and productivity of a planting. However, due to issues related to the regulation, availability, and economics of soil fumigation, alternatives are needed for current fumigation practices. Trials were conducted in commercial raspberry fields in California and Washington to evaluate alternatives to current fumigation practices in each region. In Washington, tarped bed fumigation with 1,3-dichlorpropene (1,3-D):chloropicrin (Telone C-35) performed as well as, and sometimes better than, the industry standard nontarped broadcast fumigation with Telone C-35 for the control of the soilborne pathogen Phytophthora rubi and the plant-parasitic nematode Pratylenchus penetrans. In one of the Washington trials, yield of raspberry grown in tarped bed-fumigated areas was 47% greater than the yield of plants grown in nontarped broadcast-fumigated areas. In California, a combination of chloropicrin:1,3-D (Pic-Clor 60) performed as well as the industry standard of methyl bromide:chloropicrin. Raspberry plants grown in soil fumigated with either of these fumigants were approximately 26% taller than plants grown in nonfumigated soil. Our results indicate that there are viable fumigation alternatives to the current fumigation systems used in Washington and California raspberry production systems.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the Ukrainian Bureau in Washington was propaganda of Ukrainian question among US government and American publicity in general. Functioning of the Bureau is not represented non in Ukrainian neither in foreign historiographies, so that’s why the main goal of presented paper is to investigate its activity. The research is based on personal papers of Ukrainian diaspora representatives (O. Granovskyi, E. Skotzko, E. Onatskyi) and articles from American and Ukrainian newspapers. The second mass immigration of Ukrainians to the US (1914‒1930s) has often been called the «military» immigration and what it lacked in numbers, it made up in quality. Most immigrants were educated, some with college degrees. The founder of the Ukrainian Bureau Eugene Skotzko was born near Western Ukrainian town of Zoloczhiv and immigrated to the United States in late 1920s after graduating from Lviv Polytechnic University. In New York he began to collaborate with OUN member O. Senyk-Hrabivskyi who gave E. Skotzko task to create informational bureau for propaganda of Ukrainian case. On March 23 1939 the Bureau was founded in Washington D. C. E. Skotzko was an editor of its Informational Bulletins. The Bureau biggest problem was lack of financial support. It was the main reason why it stopped functioning in May 1940. During 14 months of functioning Ukrainian Bureau in Washington posted dozens of informational bulletins and send it to hundreds of addressees; E. Skotzko, as a director, personally wrote to American governmental institutions and foreign diplomats informing about Ukrainian problem in Europe. Ukrainian Bureau activity is an inspiring example for those who care for informational policy of modern Ukraine.Keywords: Ukrainian small encyclopedia, Yevhen Onatsky, journalism, worldview, Ukrainian state.

Full textAbstract:
Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) is an important warm-season perennial turf and forage grass that is typically grown in warm, tropical and subtropical climates. Smutted inflorescences of bermudagrass were observed and collected in Benton County, Washington, United States, in October of 2012 in an unmanaged, naturalized area located near the banks of the Columbia River and adjacent to large expanses of managed turf containing bermudagrass. The climate in this area is favorable to bermudagrass due to the relatively mild winters and hot, dry summers that usually occur in this region. The infected plants occurred in patches alongside healthy plants and several disease foci were observed along a 100-m transect of non-contiguous bermudagrass. The disease was severe wherever it occurred. Diseased inflorescences were covered with black-brown teliospores, distorted, and frequently failed to fully emerge and develop. Teliospores (n = 80) were irregularly globose to subglobose, 5.3 to 7.0 × 4.5 to 6.2 μm (mean 6.4 × 5.9 μm) and 6.2 to 8.8 × 5.3 to 7.0 μm (mean 7.0 × 6.5 μm), with a smooth wall approximately 1 μm thick, and were consistent with previous descriptions of Ustilago cynodontis teliospores (1,3). Teliospores germinated within 24 h when plated on 0.2% malt agar at 16°C and produced 4-celled basidia in a 3+1 arrangement, also consistent with U. cynodontis (3). Basidia gave rise to lateral and terminal, ovoid to long ellipsoidal basidiospores. Basidiospores budded or germinated by hyphae from which lateral or terminal aerial sporidia developed as previously described (3,4). DNA was extracted from sporidia of three single-spored isolates grown in malt extract broth. Complete nucleotide sequences of the 5.8S ribosomal RNA coding region and partial sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions 1 and 2 were obtained from the three isolates using ITS1 and ITS4 primers. The corresponding regions of the three aligned sequences (GenBank Accession Nos. KC920742 to KC920744) were identical and exhibited 99 to 100% identity with U. cynodontis strains previously deposited in GenBank (HM143013, AY740168, AF038825, and AY345000). Representative specimens were deposited in the WSU Mycological Herbarium as WSP 72345 to WSP 72348. This is the first report of U. cynodontis causing smut on bermudagrass in Washington State and represents the northernmost record of this fungus in North America (2). The occurrence of U. cynodontis in Washington State suggests that the pathogen may exist in other hot and dry areas of northwestern North America where bermudagrass is found associated with turf in recreational, landscape, or natural settings.

Full textAbstract:
The study's goal is to investigate the coverage of Donald Trump's anti-Islam narrative in the United States press. The events of September 11, 2001, in New York City, and in San Bernardino,California, among others, impacted the socio-cultural, socio-economic, socio-political, and foreign policies of many countries throughout the world. The current research is essentially a content analysis of two editorials from two different newspapers in the United States (The NewYork Times and The Washington Post). The editorial contents were divided into four categories: A (US government relations with Muslim countries), B (coverage of Islam/Muslims in the war on terrorism), C(Donald Trump's stance on US-Muslim Countries bilateral relations),and D (US government's stance on US-Muslim Countries bilateral relations). To assess the association between different variables, the Chi-square statistical test was performed. The findings show that following the 2016 presidential elections in the United States, editorial overage of Trump's anti-Islam narrative was less favorable than previously.

Full textAbstract:
In controlled-environment chambers, serrated tussock achieved maximum growth in temperature regimes of 18/11, 18/23, 24/23, or 24/17 C day/night. Growth was significantly reduced at 30/11 C, and no plants survived at 36/29 C. Serrated tussock seedlings grew slowly at first but eventually produced vigorous tussocks with as many as 2800 tillers after 140 d in the 24/17 C regime. Comparisons of climatic conditions in New South Wales, Victoria, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States revealed that similar temperature conditions occur during the warmest eight mo of the year in areas as diverse as Oregon, Washington, the Sierran Nevada foothills of California, upper elevation rangelands in Arizona, and the southern Appalachian highlands. None of these areas has a precipitation pattern similar to those of the sites of serrated tussock weed infestation in the Southern Hemisphere. However, poorly managed pastures and unimproved rangelands in these diverse areas may be vulnerable to invasion by serrated tussock, should the weed become established in the United States.

Full textAbstract:
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important rotational and an emerging specialty crop in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, in California, and in the Northern Great Plains of the United States and Canada. Dodders (Cuscuta spp.) are widespread parasitic weeds on many crops worldwide. Several Cuscuta species (primarily C. campestris Yuncker) have been reported to parasitize chickpea, and dodder is important on chickpea in the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, and recently in Australia (4), but has previously not been reported from North America. On 28 July 2012, a chickpea field near Walla Walla, WA, was found parasitized by dodder. The chickpea was at late flowering and early pod filling stages and there were no other visible green weedy plants as observed from the canopy. There were about 15 dodder colonies varying in size from 2 to 15 meters in diameter in the field of about 500 acres. Chickpea plants in the center of the dodder colonies were wilting or dead. The colonies consisted of orange leafless twining stems wrapped around chickpea stems and spreading between chickpea plants. Haustoria of the dodder penetrating chickpea stems were clearly visible to the naked eye. Flowers, formed abundantly in dense clusters, were white and five-angled, with capitate stigmas, and lobes on developing calyxes were clearly overlapping. The dodder keyed to C. pentagona Engelm. in Hitchcock and Cronquest (3) and in Costea (1; and www.wlu.ca/page.php?grp_id=2147&p=8968 ). Specimens of dodder plants wrapping around chickpea stems with visible penetrating haustoria were collected on 28 July 2013 and vouchers (WS386115, WS386116, and WS386117) were deposited at the Washington State University Ownbey Herbarium. All dodder colonies in the field were eradicated before seed formation to prevent establishment of dodder. Total genomic DNA was isolated from dodder stems, and PCR primers ITS1 (5′TCCGTAGGTGAACCTGCGG) and ITS4 (5′TCCTCCGCTTATTGATATGC) were used to amplify the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear rDNA. The ITS region was sequenced. BLAST search of the NCBI nucleotide database using the ITS sequence as query found that the most similar sequence was from C. pentagona (GenBank Accession No. DQ211589.1), and our ITS sequence was deposited in GenBank (KC832885). Dodder (C. approximata Bab.) has been historically a regional problem on alfalfa (Washington State Noxious Weed Control Board 2011). Another species stated to be “mainly” associated with legumes is C. epithymum Murr., and C. pentagona is “especially” associated with legumes (3). The latter species has sometimes been considered a variety (var. calycina) of C. campestris Yuncker (1,3). Although chickpea has been cultivated in the Walla Walla region for over 20 years, to our knowledge, this is the first time dodder has been observed on chickpea in North America. The likely source is from nearby alfalfa or other crop fields, with transmission by farm machinery or wild animals. Some chickpea germplasm exhibits partial resistance to C. campestris (2).

Full textAbstract:
Literature on the foreign policy behavior of economically dependent states holds that they will comply with the foreign policy preferences of the United States, particularly on cold war issues. Regional foreign policies of Mexico and Costa Rica defy this view. Despite significant economic dependence on U.S. aid and trade, both Miguel de la Madrid and Oscar Arias developed peace plans for Central America that directly countered the objectives of the Reagan policy for the area. Pressures resulting from (a) regional security threats, (b) the flow of refugees into Costa Rica and Mexico, (c) the foreign policy traditions of each country, and (d) the need to counteract the effects of dependence guided these presidents to accept the risks of a defiant foreign policy in order to satisfy local demands. Even though heavily dependent and under pressure from the U.S. government to comply with its regional foreign policy, Mexico and Costa Rica implemented policies that served their own national interests and defied Washington.

Full textAbstract:
During 1999, a leaf spot on carrot (Daucus carota L. subsp. sativus [Hoffm.] Arcang.) was observed on nearly every plant in a 20-ha field of carrots (cv. Red Chantenay) grown for processing in western Washington. Circular to elongate, light brown lesions surrounded by chlorosis were present on leaflet margins and petioles of affected plants. Conidia of Cercospora carotae (Pass.) Solheim were present in the lesions. Small pieces of surface-sterilized leaf tissue were placed onto potato dextrose agar plates and incubated at room temperature to obtain fungal isolates. Koch's postulates were completed by atomizing the upper and lower leaves of carrot seedlings at the three to four leaf stage with sterile water or C. carotae at 1.0 × 104 conidia/ml in sterile 0.01% Tween 80. Treatments were replicated five times using single plants. The plants were bagged in clear plastic and placed in a greenhouse at 25°C for 72 h. Disease symptoms developed within 10 days as light brown lesions on leaflet margins and petioles, and were similar to those found in the field. The fungus was reisolated as described above. Symptoms did not develop in control plants sprayed with water. Farr et al. (1) report that C. carotae occurs in several states but not Washington, and Shaw (2) lists C. carotae only from British Columbia and Oregon. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Cercospora leaf spot on carrot in Washington. References: (1) D. F. Farr et al. 1989. Fungi on Plants and Plant Products in the United States.

In early June 2002, yellow spots and bands with erumpent telia on previous year's needles of Colorado blue spruce (Picea pungens) were noted in landscape tree nurseries in both northern (Sawyer County) and southern (Dane County) Wisconsin. Many 1 to 2 m tall trees were symptomatic at each location. Based on the age of affected needles, time of year of telium development, and telial characteristics including the size and shape of teliospores, the pathogen was identified as Chrysomyxa weirii, the cause of Weir's cushion rust (1,2). Identification of the pathogen was confirmed by Dale Bergdahl, (School of Natural Resources, University of Vermont), who also observed basidiospores. C. weirii is an autoecious microcyclic rust pathogen known to affect P. englemanii, P. glauca, P. mariana, P. pungens, and P. sitchensis. Although this fungus has been reported in the western United States from the Black Hills of South Dakota to Washington State, in the eastern United States from the southern Appalachian Mountains (Tennessee and West Virginia) to Vermont, and in most Canadian provinces and territories (1,2), to our knowledge, this is the first report from the Great Lakes Region of the United States. The occurrence of Weir's cushion rust in Wisconsin has direct implications for the economically important nursery and Christmas tree industry in this region. References: (1) D. Bergdahl and D.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Most of the oil spills in marine, estuarine, or freshwater environments of the United States are small (less than 1,000 gallons) and result in minimal injury to natural resources or little to no loss of services. However, federal, state, and Indian tribe trustees for natural resources are entitled under a variety of laws, including the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, to collect damages (money) from responsible parties to compensate for the foregone services and restoration of the services provided by the natural resources. Alaska, Washington, and Florida have developed a formula-based approach to calculating natural resource damages resulting from most spills; the federal National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and several other states are considering developing a compensation formula. The ideal compensation formula is a simplified assessment process that (a) can be applied rapidly, (b) requires relatively small transaction or assessment costs, (c) requires minimal site- and spill-specific data as inputs, (d) is based on generally accepted scientific and economic principles and methods, and (e) results in damage values acceptable to both the trustees and the responsible party. In theory, a compensation formula could be applied to most small oil spills in United States waters.

Full textAbstract:
Perennial cultivars of Coreopsis, a genus native to the United States, are widely grown for aesthetics in home gardens and roadsides and are increasingly used in conservation projects and native-plant gardens. During the spring and summer of 2006 and 2007, Coreopsis auriculata ‘Nana’ plants with foliar symptoms showing chlorotic spots and rings were observed in wholesale and retail nurseries in Washington. Nicotiana benthamiana plants inoculated with crude sap extracts from symptomatic leaves of C. auriculata ‘Nana’ obtained from two different sources showed systemic mosaic mottling symptoms, indicating the presence of a virus. Symptomatic leaf samples from C. auriculata ‘Nana’ and N. benthamiana tested positive in antigen-coated plate-ELISA with potyvirus group-specific monoclonal antibodies (Agdia Inc., Elkhart, IN). Additional analysis by ELISA was positive for Lettuce mosaic virus (LMV; Agdia Inc.). To confirm these results, total RNA extracted from symptomatic N. benthamiana leaves was subjected to reverse transcription (RT)-PCR using potyvirus degenerate primers (PNIbF5: 5′-GCCAGCCCTCCACCGTNGTNGAYAA-3′ and PCPR1: 5′-GGGGAGGTGCCGTTCTCDATRCACCA-3′) covering the 3′ end of the NIb gene and the 5′ end of the CP gene (1). A single DNA band of approximately 1,000 bp amplified from symptomatic leaves of two independent plants was cloned separately into pCR2.1 (Invitrogen Corp., Carlsbad, CA). Two independent clones per amplicon were sequenced from both orientations. Pairwise comparison of these sequences with corresponding nucleotide sequences of potyviruses in GenBank showed 93 to 99% identity in the NIb/CP region with LMV sequences from France (GenBank Accession Nos. X97704, X65652, and X97705), China (GenBank Accession Nos. AJ306288 and AJ488153), and Brazil (GenBank Accession No. AJ278854). These results confirmed the presence of LMV in symptomatic leaves of N. benthamiana and C. auriculata ‘Nana’. The occurrence of LMV has been reported in ornamental plants that included freeway daisy (Osteospermum fruticosum), lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum), and gazanias (Gazania spp.) (2–4). To our knowledge, this is the first documented evidence for the occurrence of LMV in Coreopsis, an economically important perennial ornamental widely grown in the United States. Although the origin of LMV in C. auriculata ‘Nana’ is not known, distribution of cuttings from LMV-infected C. auriculata ‘Nana’ plants to wholesale and retailers within Washington and across the country by movement of plant material could pose a risk to other ornamentals and crops like lettuce because of the broad host range of LMV and its potential transmission by several species of polyphagous aphids. Seed transmission as a potential means of dissemination of LMV in Coreopsis has not been examined, although the virus is seedborne in other plants such as lettuce. References: (1) Y.-C. Hsu et al. J.

The Highway Development and Management System (HDM-4) developed by the World Bank is a powerful pavement management software tool capable of performing technical and economic appraisals of road projects, investigating road investment programs, and analyzing road network preservation strategies. Its effectiveness is dependent on the proper calibration of its predictive models to local conditions. Although significant work has been done in calibrating and applying HDM-4 worldwide (especially in developing nations), no substantial effort has been made within the United States. This paper describes the calibration and application of HDM-4 (Version 1.3) to the Washington State Department of Transportation's (WSDOT) road network. WSDOT hopes to use HDM-4 to supplement its existing Washington State Pavement Management System (WSPMS) in long-term pavement performance and financial needs. Significant findings are that ( a) HDM-4 can be used to analyze the WSDOT road network, ( b) HDM-4 was successfully calibrated for the network, ( c) the network requires calibration factors significantly different than HDM-4 default values, ( d) software issues seem to prevent use of HDM-4 portland cement concrete pavement analysis, and ( e) WSDOT can use HDM-4 to predict pavement preservation budgets quickly, select optimal preservation strategies under varying budget levels, and assist in determining the long-term effects of different funding scenarios on the road network.

Full textAbstract:
In 2000, chlorotic leaves with inconspicuous leaf spots were observed on several Vinca major L. and V. minor L. plants in a 0.8-ha area in Woodside, CA. In August 2001, 80 to 90% of the plants were symptomatic. Uredinia measuring 2 to 3 × 1 mm were present on the lower surface of leaves. Urediniospores were ellipsoidal to oblong, 27 to 36 × 17 to 27 μm, with cinnamon-brown walls 1 to 2 μm thick, echinulate, and with three or four equatorial or slightly supraequatorial germ pores. Telia were produced in the uredinia. Teliospores were 1-septate, ellipsoidal to clavate, slightly constricted at the septum, and 34 to 45 × 19 to 30 μm. Teliospore walls were chestnut brown, 1.5 to 2.5 μm thick, and verrucose, with the verrucae sometimes in longitudinal lines. One germ pore covered by a hyaline papilla was present in each cell, at the apex in the upper cell and adjacent to the short, hyaline pedicel in the lower cell. The rust was identified as Puccinia vincae Berk. (1). P. vincae is widespread in Europe on Vinca species and is common on V. major in the eastern United States, Washington, and Idaho (2). To our knowledge, this is the first report of P. vincae on V. major in California (vouchers BPI 841363, 841364) and on V. minor in the United States (voucher BPI 841365). References: (1) J. C.

Full textAbstract:
In the summer and autumn of 1998, the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board (TPB) sponsored an independent study by a team led by ICF Kaiser (now ICF Consulting) to assess its public involvement program for transportation planning carried out in the Washington, D.C., region. The Washington region’s metropolitan planning organization was one of the first to commission an assessment of its public involvement efforts as required under the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. The purpose was to provide an overall assessment of TPB’s public involvement program and recommend options for improvement. The assessment was conducted in three phases. The first phase was to review public involvement efforts in the Washington region and, for comparative purposes, other selected metropolitan regions across the United States. The second phase was to interview knowledgeable stakeholders on public involvement in the Washington region. The final phase was to prepare a report presenting findings and recommendations to the TPB based on the efforts from the first two phases. The final report was organized under the umbrella of four overarching themes: ( a) strengthen outreach to stakeholders and the public; ( b) enhance access to information; ( c) improve the public’s understanding of TPB responsibilities; and ( d) either discontinue or enhance the citizens’ advisory committee. Although the first three themes are familiar to strengthening many public involvement programs, the fourth is somewhat new and surprising, especially given the prevalence of such bodies.

Full textAbstract:
In late June and early July 2002, stunted, chlorotic, and partially defoliated lentils (Lens culinaris Medik.) were observed throughout the lentil-growing areas of eastern Washington. These symptoms were investigated in two fields near Garfield, WA and one field near Genesee, ID. Cv. Mason was more affected than cv. Brewer. Roots were dry and brittle with black discoloration in some cases. Isolates of Fusarium oxysporum and F. solani were obtained from washed roots plated on water agar, but they were nonpathogenic in greenhouse testing in pasteurized field soil and peat-based growing mixes. On 21 April 2003, volunteer lentils growing in the same fields showed symptoms of root rot, and Pythium oospores were observed in the roots. Pythium spp. were isolated by using a selective medium (2). Oospores were aplerotic, intercalary, 12.6 to 21 μm long × 11.2 to 18.2 μm wide, mostly smooth, and often formed in chains. Isolates resembled P. paroecandrum Drechs. and P. irregulare Buisman on the basis of morphological characters (3), but DNA sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region were closer to P. irregulare on the basis of a comparison with a worldwide database of Pythium sequences (C. A. Lévesque, personal communication). Isolates were deposited with the USDA-ARS Western Regional Plant Introduction Station, Pullman, WA. Four hyphal-tip isolates were tested in the greenhouse with inoculum grown in autoclaved sandy loam amended with 1% ground rolled oats. Experiments were performed twice in Thatuna silt loam, first in pasteurized and then in nonpasteurized soil. Inoculum was added to the soil at 500 CFU/g, and seeds were planted on the same day. Each isolate was tested on cvs. Brewer and Mason, with five replicates per treatment. Plants were grown in 4- × 20.5-cm plastic tubes (two plants per tube) for 1 month at 16 to 22°C and supplemented with 14 h of light per day. P. irregulare was reisolated from infected roots in both experiments. Damping-off, stunting, chlorosis, and root rot were observed in the Pythium-inoculated treatments, which corresponded to symptoms observed in the field in 2002. In pasteurized soil, only one isolate reduced the whole, dry, plant weight of Brewer, but the other three isolates reduced the dry weight of Mason. All isolates reduced the root dry weight of Mason in natural soil, but only two isolates reduced the root dry weight of Brewer. To our knowledge, Pythium spp., but not P. irregulare, have been reported previously from lentils (1). P. irregulare also causes root rot on winter wheat, which is rotated with lentils, and this pathogen likely causes yield reduction in both crops. References: (1) D. F. Farr et al.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the relationship between two leading countries – Great Britain and the United States, which had a significant impact on international political situation in the world in 1930s and still have nowadays. As a vector of research, the author takes the factor of the Japanese militaristic regime because of the rather similar current geopolitical situation due to the aggressive actions of Russian Federation. According to this, the author aimed to conduct a comprehensive analysis and his own assessment of the impact of Japan’s behavior in the international arena on the development of British-American relations in various fields. The chronological boundaries of the study are the period from the Mukden incident ‒ the beginning of Japanese invasion in the north-eastern part of China (September, 1931) to the conclusion of Berlin (Tripartite) Pact between Japan, Italy and Germany (September, 1940). Methodology: the article uses a comparative-historical method to compare and analyze the influence of Japan and Germany on the foreign policy of London and Washington, as well as descriptive method ‒ to identify the essence and features of British-American relations during 1931–1940. The use primarily of a wide base of diplomatic documents, archival sources from the F. D. Roosevelt Digital Library, cabinet papers of the British government allowed the author to apply the systematic approach and the principle of objectivity working with only verified facts and their comprehensive assessment. Scientific novelty: for the first time in Ukrainian historiography the author analyzed and rethought the process of how did Japan’s aggressive actions influence on US-British relations on the eve and beginning of World War II regarding the current geopolitical situation. The author concludes that the leadership of the United States and Great Britain did not realize the threat from Japan in time, that their inconsistent actions only contributed to the rapprochement of Tokyo with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, culminating in the formation of a tripartite military alliance («axis»). According to the author, the ambiguity of the position of London and Washington caused primarily by the struggle for spheres of influence in the Pacific area and trade conflicts between them in general. In view of this, the article emphasizes the need for modern leading states, especially Great Britain and the USA, to take into account the mistakes of the past in order to prevent a repeat of the Japanese scenario in the international arena in future.

Full textAbstract:
Stem cankers were observed during 1998 on bolting stalks of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) in seed production fields in western Washington. In 1999, approximately 4 ha of cabbage hybrid 'Wk 121, was severely affected. Lesions occurred at the base of seed stalks after they emerged from heads of plants overwintered in the field, or on flower branches and seed-bearing stalks that developed during the growing season. Lesions girdled a branch or stalk, and killed or weakened it so that it broke during pod fill. Isolates of Botrytis cinerea Pers.:Fr. were obtained by plating spores from lesions onto potato dextrose agar. To confirm pathogenicity, stems of 12-day-old seedlings of ‘Wk 121’ were scraped with a razor blade or left intact, atomized with sterile 0.01 % Tween 80 or a suspension of Botrytis cinerea at 1.0 × 106 conidia/ml, and kept at 20°C in a dew chamber in plastic bags. The fungus was reisolated from small lesions on wounded stems inoculated with B. cinerea after 3 days. No lesions developed on non-wounded or wounded control plants. B. cinerea is reported to cause storage rot of cabbage (2) and gray mold on Brassica oleracea L. (cabbage, kale, kohlrabi, wild cabbage) in Washington (1) but not stem canker. This new seed crop disease may be the result of predisposition to infection by freezing injury or mechanical damage on a highly susceptible cultivar grown under cool, wet weather. References: (1) D.

Full textAbstract:
Relations between the United States and Turkey, the two military-political allies of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), are experiencing an unprecedented crisis in their history. Its depth and scale is so significant that it affects the long-term foreign policy strategies of both countries, as well as the process of building a unified security architecture. In the study the author raises a question to what extent the current crisis in the US-Turkish relations is systemic? How high is the probability that it will turn out to be a long-term one? To answer this question, the study is divided into two parts.The first part analyzes the evolution of American approaches to Turkey in US foreign policy, the implementation of these approaches since the end of World War II till nowadays. On the basis of a system-historical approach, the author analyses the evolution the Turkey’s strategic positioning in the US foreign policy strategy and the transformation of political, economic and military relations between the two states since the moment of their institutionalization. The author distinguishes two stages of this evolution. During the first one, for the United States Turkey was one of the key countries that was blocking the Soviet expansion southward towards the Persian Gulf and the Suez Canal. The author notes that by the end of the bipolar confrontation, Turkey was de-facto losing its functional purpose in the logic of the Cold War. During the second stage, the US regards Turkey as one of the key NATO allies, whose geo-strategic location can be used for pursuing American national interests in the nearby regions. Author posits, that bilateral relations are gradually moving away from such a model of interaction. This happens because of the Turkish desire to diversify foreign relations and accumulation of contradictions between Washington and Ankara due to the divergence of their foreign policy strategies.The second part analyzes the contradictions in the American-Turkish relations under the presidency of Donald Trump on political, military and economic issues. The author comes to the conclusion that the crisis is indeed a systemic one. Firstly, the existing problems began to affect significant elements of the military-technical infrastructure of their relations. Secondly, it is difficult to resolve these problems without reformatting the interaction as between equivalent actors of international relations. Thirdly, the expert and political communities have not presented any kind of a new approach to rethink the allied status of American-Turkish relations.

Abstract Objective Rural public health system leaders struggle to access and use data for understanding local health inequities and to effectively allocate scarce resources to populations in need. This study sought to determine these rural public health system leaders’ data access, capacity, and training needs. Materials and Methods We conducted qualitative interviews across Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington with individuals expected to use population data for analysis or decision-making in rural communities. We used content analysis to identify themes. Results We identified 2 broad themes: (1) challenges in accessing or using data to monitor and address health disparities and (2) needs for training in data use to address health inequities. Participants faced challenges accessing or using data to address rural disparities due to (a) limited availability or access to data, (b) data quality issues, (c) limited staff with expertise and resources for analyzing data, and (d) the diversity within rural jurisdictions. Participants also expressed opportunities for filling capacity gaps through training—particularly for displaying and communicating data. Discussion Rural public health system leaders expressed data challenges, many of which can be aided by informatics solutions. These include interoperable, accessible, and usable tools that help capture, access, analyze, and display data to support health equity efforts in rural communities. Conclusion Informatics has the potential to address some of the daunting data-related challenges faced by rural public health system leaders working to enhance health equity. Future research should focus on developing informatics solutions to support data access and use in rural communities.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the current state of the system of international relations in the context of the transformation of the modern world order. It is determined that cardinal changes in the system of international relations occur due to the destructive policy of the collective West led by the United States, aimed at maintaining a unipolar world and dominance in the world political process. Under these conditions, the new centers of world development, to which the authors include Russia, China and India, tend to pursue an independent and uncontrolled foreign policy, which is not supported by Washington. It is noted that the confrontation between the leading centers of regional and world development for global leadership is accompanied by the destruction of the architecture of international security and the unleashing of a new arms race. It is stated that during the presidency of D. Trump, the United States, trying to stop the economic development of China, unleashed world sanctions wars, which resumed with the greatest force after the arrival of the new US President D. Biden and the start of a special military operation in Ukraine. It is determined that the sanctions wars gave rise to global risks, to which the authors include the destruction of the institutions of international law, the support of the West for organized transnational criminal groups in the areas of drug traffi cking and the organization of illegal migration, the fi nancing and support of the United States and its allies of terrorist and extremist organizations, radicals and Nazis. Numerous examples of numerous sanctions imposed against the Russian Federation in the political, economic, military, social, legal and other spheres of public life are given, which required the states to coordinate their actions to ensure the national security of the Russian Federation, and the federal executive authorities to develop and apply numerous countermeasures against them. The modern activities of the military-political leadership of the Russian Federation are analyzed, which made it possible to neutralize the main challenges and threats to the Russian state, increase the level of the country's defense capability, and protect the main spheres of public life of Russian society from the destructive impact of foreign policy factors. The results are summed up and the authors make a forecast about the further development of the system of international relations, as well as the place and role of the Russian Federation in them.

Full textAbstract:
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae and an unidentified Fusarium species have been reported to cause bulb rot of onion (Allium cepa L.) in Washington (1). In August and September 2002, a salmon-pink discoloration was observed on the outer three to four layers of dry scales of approximately 20% of white onion bulbs of cv. Cometa F1, in each of two 20-acre fields in the Columbia Basin of central Washington. Isolations from the discolored areas of the dry scales onto water agar and potato dextrose agar (PDA) yielded fungal colonies characteristic of F. proliferatum (3). The isolates formed long, V-shaped chains of microconidia on polyphialides. Pathogenicity of the isolates of F. proliferatum was tested on white onion bulbs purchased at a local grocery store. The outermost dry scales of each bulb were removed, and the bulb was inoculated by one of three methods: (i) a 5-mm3 section of the fleshy scales was removed using a scalpel, the wound was filled with a 3-mm2 plug of PDA colonized by F. proliferatum, the plug was covered with the section of scale that had been removed, and the inoculation site was covered with Parafilm; (ii) the basal plate of the bulb was dipped into a suspension of 106 microconidia per ml; or (iii) the basal plate was dipped into the spore suspension after wounding by inserting a dissecting needle into the bulb to a depth of 1 cm. A noninoculated bulb provided a control treatment. Bulbs were incubated in a moist chamber at 13°C and examined for discoloration of the outer scales and development of bulb rot. After 2 weeks, salmon-pink discoloration of the outer scales was observed at the inoculation site for both methods of dip inoculation, but not for the plug inoculation method. After 3 weeks, water-soaked, tan to golden, shrunken, soft tissue was observed on the remainder of each dip inoculated bulb, but symptoms of basal rot did not develop. Symptoms were similar to those reported in Idaho for a bulb rot of stored onions caused by F. proliferatum (2). One of the nonwounded inoculated bulbs did not develop a bulb rot, but pinkish discoloration was observed beneath the outer scales and in the neck. F. proliferatum was reisolated from the inoculated bulb tissues. The discoloration observed on the white onions raised concern about the potential for infection to develop into bulb rot in storage. However, thorough curing of the bulbs immediately upon storage restricted infection to the outer dry scales. Similar symptoms were observed at harvest on the bulbs of other white onions in a cultivar trial located near Quincy, WA, although symptoms were not observed on yellow or red cultivars in the trial. The same symptoms were later observed on approximately 70% of bulbs harvested from a 32-acre fresh-market crop of the cv. Sterling in the Columbia Basin. These symptomatic bulbs were rejected for the fresh market. To our knowledge, this is the first report of infection of onion bulbs by F. proliferatum in Washington, which in 2001, had the third largest acreage of onions in the United States after California and Oregon (USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service).

Full textAbstract:
Powdery mildew (Erysiphe polygoni DC [synonym E. betae {Vanha} Weltzien]) of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) has been a significant problem in many sugar beet growing areas of the United States since the first serious epidemic in 1974. Disease has been attributed solely to the asexual stage of the pathogen in the United States, except for one report of the perfect stage in a single field in Washington coincidental with the 1974 epidemic (1). In August 2001, ascomata were observed in several fields in Owyhee County in southwestern Idaho near Grand View. The perfect stage was widespread and easily found, and in one field the surfaces of leaves collected from 50 randomly sampled plants were between 10 and 90% covered with ascomata. Subsequently, the ascigerous stage was found in September and October in multiple fields in three additional counties in southwestern and south-central Idaho and two counties in northern Colorado. Ascomata were found on 12 commercial varieties in the two states and six breeding lines in Colorado. Asci contained one to four hyaline or yellow-to-golden pigmented ascospores per ascus. Ascomata observed in Idaho and Colorado are similar to those described from Europe (2). Ascospores appeared intact after leaves were dried and stored at 4 to 7°C more than 4 weeks. However, after leaves with ascomata were dried and stored at 24 to 27°C for 1 week or more, ascomata and asci appeared intact microscopically, but ascospores were no longer delineated and appeared desiccated or degraded. Because the ascigerous stage provides a means of genetic recombination, there is the potential for races of the pathogen to arise with greater frequency. This has serious implications for managing fungicide resistance and breeding for disease resistance to sugar beet powdery mildew. References: (1) D. L. Coyier et al. (Abstr.) Proc. Am. Phytopathol.

Full textAbstract:
Cronartium ribicola J. C. Fisch., causal agent of white pine blister rust (WPBR), is one of the most damaging pathogens of five-needle pines, forming aecial states on the trunk and branches and causing cankering, topkill, and branch dieback. Infection can predispose hosts to attack by other pests such as bark beetles, and can result in host mortality. Various species of Ribes, Pedicularis, and Castilleja are alternate hosts on which C. ribicola forms its uredinial and telial states during the mid-summer to fall. In an effort to mitigate the damage caused by white pine blister rust, the planting of ornamental species of Ribes, such as R. occidentalis, is prohibited in 14 states. Indiana currently has no restrictions on the planting of Ribes spp. Since 2010, a Cronartium sp. has been observed producing uredinia and telia on R. odoratum ‘Crandall’ H.L. Wendl. leaves in an urban environment in West Lafayette, Indiana. Symptoms include yellow-orange lesions on the leaf upper surface with uredinia on the underside. These persist from late summer until leaf drop. Telia were collected in 2011 to establish the identity of the causal agent using morphological and molecular analyses. Morphological comparisons between this specimen and other Cronartium species were made using Arthur (2). Filiform telial columns ranged from 0.5 to 1.5 mm in length. Teliospores were cylindrical to sub-ventricose, truncate on either end with one end generally tapering more than the other, and measured 9.0 to 18.6 × 37.2 to 60.0 μm (average 11.9 × 47.4 μm from 30 spores across 4 leaves). These teliospore measurements overlap those of C. ribicola and C. occidentale, but are more consistent with C. ribicola, in which the spores are wider and longer (8 to 12 × 30 to 60 μm) than in C. occidentale (9 to 10 × 27 to 56 μm). For molecular analyses, two nuclear ribosomal loci were sequenced: the internal transcribed spacer regions 1, 2, and 5.8S (ITS) and the 5′ end of the large subunit (28S) (1). The ITS sequence was 665 bp long (KF387533) and the 28S was 892 bp (KC876675). These sequences were queried to GenBank using a BLASTn search. The 28S shared 99% identity (891/892 bp) and the ITS shared 100% identity (663/663 bp) to other published C. ribicola sequences with no close matches to any other species with either locus. Both morphological and molecular methods indicate this species to be C ribicola, making this a first report of white pine blister rust on R. odoratum in Indiana. This fungus has been observed previously on R. odoratum in the northeastern United States (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, and New Hampshire), the Rockies (Colorado), northwestern United States (Washington), and Canada (3). In Indiana, C. ribicola has also been reported on R. cysnobati. There are no other reports of this fungus on any other host within the state. However, the aecial host, Pinus strobus, does grow within the state, and within West Lafayette. To our knowledge, WPBR has only been observed (not reported) once in Indiana in the past 30 years (Paul Pecknold, personal communication). Further monitoring of C. ribicola hosts is needed in Indiana to determine the extent of the disease. The specimen has been vouchered in the Arthur Herbarium (PUR N6734). References: (1) M. C. Aime.

AbstractCannonite, ideally Bi2O(OH)2SO4, is a new mineral from the Tunnel Extension mine, Ohio Mining District, Marysvale, Utah, USA. It occurs mostly as intergrown crystalline aggregates (<1 mm) of subhedral to euhedral equant to prismatic crystals (<200 μm) in cavities in quartz gangue. Other associated minerals are cuprobismutite, bismuthinite, and covelline. Cannonite is colourless and transparent with an adamantine lustre and white streak. It is brittle with an uneven to conchoidal fracture. In reflected light it is low reflecting, weakly to moderately bireflectant and weakly anisotropic. Internal reflections (colourless to white) are abundant. Measured reflectance values in air and oil are tabulated. Colour values relative to the CIE illuminant C for R1 and R2 in air respectively are: Y% 10.4, 11.7; Lambdad 475,475; Pe% 2.6, 3.0. Calculated refractive indices at 589 nm: R1 1.91 and R2 1.99. VHN100 229 (range 183-280); calculated Mohs hardness is 4.X-ray studies show that cannonite is monoclinic with space group P21/c and a 7.700(3), b 13.839(6), c 5.686(2) Å, β 109.11(3) ° It has a cell volume of 572.5(4) Å3 with Z = 4. Dcalc. is 6.515 g/cm3. The strongest six lines of the X-ray powder pattern are [d in Å (I) (hkl)] 3.206 (100) (221); 1.984 (90) (340, 152); 2.924 (70) (131); 3.644 (60) (111); 3.466 (60) (040); 2.782 (50) (112). Averaged probe analyses gave the empirical formula Bi1.99O(OH1.04)2S0.99O4 on the basis of 7 oxygen atoms. The name is for Benjamin Bartlett Cannon of Seattle, Washington, United States of America.

The Postulate for Importing an American Concept of the „Upbringing Plan” of the Divorcing Parent into the Polish Family LawSummaryThe article presents the way in which the „upbringing plan” of divorcing parents functions in the United States on the example of its application in the states of Washington and Michigan. The American legislator created conditions for realization of the idea of a mutual performance of the parental authority by divorced parents among other things by means of a detailed regulation on the manner of preparation of such a plan according to a „Questionnaire” designed for this aim.This „upbringing plan” is to fulfil in particular four functions: a) to simplify parent’s regulation of the situation after the divorce; b) normative function; c) educational function; d) preventive function.The author critically analysis the provisions of the family and custodian code regulating the forms of the determinations regarding the parental authority in the divorce verdict and she compares them with American provisions on the „upbringing plan”. On these basis she concludes that first the plan is a perfect concept from both the legal and psychological perspective aiming at protecting the child’s good and second it ideally suits Polish divorce law, both de lege lata and de lege ferendoj It is, however, important in what manner the change of law will be performed.This kind of interception of a modern legislative solution provided for in America in the author’s view would definitely eliminate problems connected with the performance of the parental authority by divorced parents.

Full textAbstract:
Lupine accessions from the Cool Season Food Legume Seed Collection are grown for seed regenerations in Pullman, WA by the Agricultural Research Service, Western Regional Plant Introduction Station. Selected seed was germinated in the greenhouse and assayed by indirect ELISA using antiserum for potyvirus group detection (Agdia, Inc., Elkhart, IN). Healthy transplants were grown for seed collection on outside plots. In July of 2005, more than 90% of 307 Lupinus luteus L. transplants developed severe yellowing, necrosis, and stunting with an estimated 5% plant death. Plants were heavily infested with aphids and leaf sap was serologically positive for potyvirus. Partially purified virus preparations from infected plants contained filamentous particles and a 35-kDa protein that reacted with universal potyvirus antiserum on western blots. Reverse transcription (RT)-PCR using potyvirus universal primers (2) and cDNA derived from virion RNA generated a ~1.7-kbp product that was cloned and sequenced. The sequenced portion of the genomic RNA contained 1,610 nucleotides (nt) on its 3′-terminus (GenBank Accession No. EU144223) that included a partial nuclear inclusion protein, NIb, (1 to 637 nt) with the conserved amino acid (aa) replicase motif GDD (131 to 139 nt), the coat protein (CP) gene of 821 nt (638 to 1,459 nt), and a 171-nt untranslated region (1,460 to 1,630 nt) attached to a poly(A)tail. The CP sequence contained a NAG motif instead of the DAG motif commonly associated with aphid transmission. Searches in the NCBI GenBank database revealed that the CP aa and nt sequences contained conserved domains with isolates of Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV). A pairwise alignment (ClustalX) (4) of the CP aa from 20 BYMV isolates with the BYMV-Pullman isolate revealed identities from 96% (BYMV-S, U47033) to 88% (BYMV-MI [X81124)] -MI-NAT [AF434661]). This meets the species demarcation criteria of more than ~80% identity for inclusion with BYMV (1). Virion mechanical inoculations resulted in local lesions on Chenopodium amaranticolor Coste et Reyn and C. quinoa Willd., necrotic blotches on Phaseolus vulgaris L., and yellow spots and systemic movement in L. succulentus Douglas ex. K. Koch, L. texensis ‘Bluebonnet’, and L. texensis ‘Maroon’; BYMV was confirmed by western blots and ELISA. The experimental inoculations represent the first documented report of BYMV in the annual L. succulentus and biennial L. texensis species. Since BYMV is seedborne and transmitted by many aphid species (3), it is possible that several lupine transplants escaped potyvirus detection, and secondary transmission of BYMV to plants occurred by aphids. During the 1950s, BYMV was confirmed in several annual lupines grown as crops in the southeastern United States (3). To our knowledge, this is the first report of BYMV occurring naturally in a lupine species in Washington. BYMV is a destructive virus to lupine species worldwide and has a wide host range in Fabaceae. This research directly contributes toward the maintenance of virus-free lupine seed for distribution to scientists focusing on lupine research. References: (1) P. H. Berger et al. Family Potyviridae.

Full textAbstract:
A visual survey in 1998 of a commercial block of 594 sweet cherry trees (Prunus avium) in Yakima County, WA, revealed three trees of cv. Bing growing on Mazzard rootstock that exhibited a progressive decline characterized by a premature drop of yellowed leaves prior to fruit maturity and small, late ripening cherries that were unsuitable for the fresh market. Many young branches of these trees died during the winter, resulting in a sparse, open canopy depleted of fruiting shoots. The budded variety of a fourth tree had died, allowing the F12/1 rootstock to grow leaves that showed intense line patterns. Prunus necrotic ringspot virus or Prune dwarf virus are common ilarviruses of cherry trees but were only detected by ELISA (Agdia, Elkhart, IN) in two of the Bing trees. A virus was readily transmitted mechanically from young leaves of each of the two ilarvirus-negative trees to Chenopodium quinoa and Nicotiana occidentalis strain ‘37B’, which within 5 days, developed systemic mottle and necrotic flecking, respectively. Gel analysis of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) isolated from C. quinoa revealed two abundant bands of approximately 6.5 and 8.0 kbp. The C. quinoa plants and the four symptomatic orchard trees were free of Arabis mosaic virus, Blueberry leaf mottle virus, Peach rosette mosaic virus, Raspberry ringspot virus, Strawberry latent ringspot virus, Tobacco ringspot virus, Tomato black ring virus, and Tomato ringspot virus when tested by ELISA. However, C. quinoa leaf extracts reacted positively in gel double diffusion assays with antiserum prepared to the cherry isolate of Cherry leafroll virus (CLRV) (2). A CLRV-specific primer (3) was used for first strand synthesis followed by self-primed second strand synthesis to generate cDNAs from the dsRNA. A consensus sequence of 1,094 bp generated from three clones of the 3′-untranslated region (3′-UTR) of CLRV (GenBank Accession No. GU362644) was 98% identical to the 3′-UTR of CLRV isolates from European white birch (GenBank Accession Nos. 87239819 and 87239633) and 96% identical to European CLRV isolates from sweet cherry (GenBank Accession Nos. 87239639 and 8729640) (1). Reverse transcription (RT)-PCR using primers specific for the 3′-UTR (CGACCGTGTAACGGCAACAG, modified from Werner et al. [3] and CACTGCTTGAGTCCGACACT, this study), amplified the expected 344-bp fragment from the original four symptomatic trees and two additional symptomatic trees in the same orchard. Seventy-two nonsymptomatic trees were negative by the RT-PCR for CLRV. In 1999, CLRV was detected by RT-PCR in six of eight samples and seven of eight samples from declining trees in two additional orchards located 2.5 km and 23.3 km from the original site, respectively. Sequences of the 344-bp amplicons from these sites were 99.7% identical to those obtained from the first site. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the natural occurrence of CLRV in sweet cherry in the United States. Unlike other nepoviruses, CLRV appears not to be nematode transmitted; however, since this virus can be seed and pollen borne in some natural and experimental systems, its presence in independent orchards of a major production region raises concern about its long term impact on sweet cherry production.

Full textAbstract:
Rhizomania, caused by Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) and vectored by the soilborne fungus, Polymyxa betae Keskin, is one of the most economically damaging diseases affecting sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) worldwide and has been found in most sugar beet-growing areas of the United States (2). During harvest in October 2000, sugar beet plants exhibiting typical symptoms of rhizomania (1) were found in a field near Paterson, WA. Sugar beet had been planted in the field in 1999 and 2000, but prior to this, the field had not been planted with sugar beet for approximately 20 years. Symptomatic roots from the field exhibited stunting, vascular discoloration, and proliferation of lateral rootlets. Leaves of affected plants were chlorotic. Four soil samples were taken from symptomatic areas of the field and diluted with an equal amount of sterile sand. Seeds of rhizomania-susceptible sugar beet cv. Beta 8422 were planted in the soil and sand mix and maintained in a controlled environment at 24°C and 12 h of daylight at one location and in the greenhouse at another. After 8 weeks, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed on roots of plants grown at each location. Triple-antibody sandwich (TAS) ELISA (Agdia, Inc., Elkhart, IN) was conducted at the University of Idaho, Twin Falls, ID and double-antibody sandwich (DAS) ELISA was performed at USDA-ARS, Salinas, CA, with antiserum specific for BNYVV (2). Two of four samples were positive for BNYVV in the ELISA tests at both locations based on absorbance values at least three times those of healthy controls. TAS-ELISA tests were conducted on roots collected in July 2001 from a field in Washington, 12.9 km from the first field, as well as from a field across the Columbia River near Boardman, OR. Samples from both fields tested positive for BNYVV. All three fields are within 24 km of one another. Four additional fields have subsequently been confirmed to be infected with BNYVV in this region, based on symptomology and ELISA. There are approximately 3,240 ha of sugar beet grown in the region, and growers have been advised as a result of this confirmation to plant resistant cultivars and increase the sugar beet rotation interval with nonhost crops to a minimum of 4 years.

Full textAbstract:
There has been an upward trend in gambling, particularly among older adults. With the baby-boomer generation moving toward retirement, this trend is expected to increase. Availability and social acceptability of casinos in the United States are 2 of many precipitating factors for older adults' increased enthusiasm for gambling. Noticeably absent from the literature on casino gambling is the perspective of senior social service providers (SSSPs). The present study used a cross-sectional open-ended questionnaire completed by 88 SSSPs in Washington State. The purpose of this study was to describe the SSSPs' (a) perceptions of older adults' motivations to participate in casino gambling, (b) experience with older adults who have gambling problems, (c) views and knowledge of problem gambling, and (d) perception of the need for training on gambling problems. The most prevalent reasons cited for older adults to patronize casinos were the entertainment of gambling and the desire to win money. The least prevalent reasons included peer pressure, to learn new things, and for a public smoking environment. Many respondents (42.0%) felt that their clients were aware of the risks of casino gambling. However, almost one third (29.5%) reported that their clients were largely unaware of the risks. Almost all of the respondents (85.2%) reported they had not received any training regarding problem gambling. The findings indicate the need to educate SSSPs about the potential positive and negative consequences of casino gambling.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background: Ven+HMA is now a standard treatment (Tx) for newly diagnosed (ND) AML in patients (pts) aged ≥75 years (y), or with comorbidities precluding intensive chemotherapy. The Phase 3 VIALE-A trial demonstrated clinical benefit and longer overall survival (OS) for Ven+azacitidine (Aza) vs Aza alone; however, frequent Ven dose modifications (mods) occurred due to cytopenias (DiNardo et al. NEJM 2020). We describe real world (RW) Tx practices and outcomes in ND AML pts treated with Ven+HMA in the US. Methods: This retrospective cohort study used the Flatiron Health electronic health record (EHR)-derived, nationwide, de-identified database. Pts aged ≥18 y with ND AML, initiating Ven+HMA Tx ≤30 days (d) from diagnosis, from Jun 1, 2018 to Jan 31, 2020, were included (i.e., prior to VIALE-A data availability, reflecting early experience). Ven Tx data and Tx mods (Ven dose and Tx schedule changes [in-cycle interruptions, cycle delays, schedule per cycle changes]) were abstracted from the EHR, including frequency of and reasons (where documented) for Tx mods and discontinuations (d/c). Timing of bone marrow (BM) biopsy and response to Tx were measured. BM response was defined as ≤5% blasts by BM biopsy. RW complete response/complete response with partial hematologic recovery (rwCR/CRh) was defined as ≤5% BM blasts, with platelet count >50 × 10 9/L and absolute neutrophil count >0.5 × 10 9/L, within 14 d of BM biopsy. Tx mods post-rwCR/CRh are described. Median Ven+HMA Tx duration, and OS from start of Ven Tx to d/c, death, or censoring at the last EHR activity before data cutoff (Aug 31, 2020) were examined by Kaplan-Meier analyses. Time-varying survival analyses assessed the effect of Ven Tx mods on Tx duration and OS. Results: A total of 169 eligible pts treated with Ven+HMA were included. Median age at diagnosis was 77 y, 27% of pts had an ECOG performance status ≥2, 44% had secondary AML, and the overall majority (85%) were treated in community practice. European LeukemiaNet (ELN) classification was 13% favorable, 22% intermediate, 39% adverse, and 26% unknown. By Day 7 of Tx (after ramp-up), Ven dose was 400 mg in 49% of pts, 300 mg in 3%, 200 mg in 20%, and ≤100 mg in 20%. Dose was not recorded in 8% of pts. Of 72 pts with doses <400 mg, 19 (26%) had concomitant Tx with CYP3A4 inhibitors documented in the EHR. In total, 56/169 (33%) pts had Ven dose changes in the subsequent Tx cycles, with toxicity (38%) or drug-drug interaction (25%) the most common reasons. Tx schedule changes were common and noted in 101 (60%) pts; primarily due to toxicity (78% of pts). Median time to first Tx schedule change was 33 d (95% confidence interval [CI] 28-52), at approx. 1-2 Tx cycles. At 7.2 months (mo; range 0.6-24.8) median follow-up, median Tx duration was 5.2 mo (95% CI 4.0-7.7) and median OS (mOS) was 8.4 mo (95% CI 7.2-11.1). Of the 95 pts with BM data during follow-up, 51 (54%) had their first biopsy by Day 28 (±14) of Tx (proxy for BM around Tx Cycle 1), with the majority of pts (41/51; 80%) achieving a BM response at that time. Of the 82% (78/95) of pts who had a BM response at any time, 47% (45/95) had a rwCR/CRh. Three of 95 (3%) pts with documented BM biopsy had early mortality (≤60 d of starting first-line Tx) vs 14/74 (19%) pts without documented BM biopsy. Tx mods post-rwCR/CRh occurred in 25/45 (56%) pts; dose holds occurred in 7/25 pts, cycle delays in 8/25, Tx schedule changes in 6/25, dose changes and d/c in ≤4/25. Within the entire cohort, time-varying adjusted analyses showed that, compared with pts with no Tx schedule changes, those with Tx schedule changes had a longer median Tx duration (4.2 vs 6.0 mo, respectively; non-significant) and longer mOS (7.2 vs 10.0 mo, respectively; p=0.02; Figure). Conclusions: This study reflects early RW experience with Ven+HMA Tx in a predominantly community setting, ahead of Phase 3 VIALE-A data availability. Around half of pts started on full-dose Ven, suggesting that azole prophylaxis was either deferred or not received in many pts, although not all pts on lower doses had documented CYP3A4 inhibitor Tx. Only half of pts had a documented BM biopsy at approx. Cycle 1, but a high response rate was observed in evaluated pts. While the RW cohort reported here had a shorter follow-up time and mOS than reported in clinical trials, pts with Tx schedule mods had longer OS vs those without. These observations highlight, among other points, the importance of appropriate Ven management, including early BM assessment, to optimize pts' outcomes. Figure 1 Figure 1.

Glennon se ocupa de la opinión de la Suprema Corte de los Estados Unidos en Los Estados Unidos vs. Alvarez-Machain. Sostiene que, en contra de lo que popularmente se cree, la opinión de la Suprema Corte no sostiene que el secuestro patrocinado por el gobierno esté permitido por la ley internacional; resulta claro que no lo es. Señala que la Suprema Corte simplemente se ocupó de si está o no permitido el llevar a juicio por una ofensa criminal a un reo que fue secuestrado, lo que no está prohibido ni por la ley internacional ni por la ley constitucional de los Estados Unidos. No obstante, exhorta al Congreso a prohibir semejante práctica.

Full textAbstract:
During late spring of 2012 in Snohomish County of Washington State, chlorotic yellow leaf blotch symptoms suggestive of a virus infection were observed on Portuguese laurel (Prunus lusitanica) planted in a hedge row. Leaf samples from representative trees were initially tested for the presence of Cherry leaf roll virus (CLRV) and Plum pox virus (PPV) by ELISA with antibodies specific to CLRV and general potyvirus, respectively (Agdia, Inc., Elkhart, IN). The ELISA test yielded negative results for both viruses. Reverse transcription (RT)-PCR was pursued to detect other viruses known to infect Prunus spp., namely American plum line pattern virus (APLPV), Apple chlorotic leafspot virus (ACLSV), Cherry mottle leaf virus (CMLV), Cherry raspleaf virus (CRLV), Cherry virus A (CVA), Prune dwarf virus (PDV), and Prunus necrotic ringspot virus (PNRSV), as well as CLRV and PPV. None of these viruses were detected. However, RT-PCR with a generic primer pair Fovea2/AdPr (3) that amplifies the coat protein (CP) coding sequence and 3′-untranslated regions (3′-UTR) of several members of the family Betaflexiviridae yielded a 1.4-kb amplicon that was cloned into pCR2.1 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) and sequenced (GenBank Accession No. KF356396). The sequences from three clones were 99.8% identical to each other at the nucleotide level. Comparison of the consensus CP coding region with the nucleotide sequence database revealed 86 to 93% identity to Cherry rusty mottle associated virus (CRMaV), and only 73 to 75% identities to Cherry necrotic rusty mottle virus (CNRMV) (1) and 71 to 76% identities to Cherry green ring mottle virus (CGRMV) (4) isolates from sweet cherry (P. avium). This result suggested that the cloned fragment represents a strain of CRMaV. Prunus avium ‘Bing’ and ‘Sam,’ and P. serrulata ‘Kwanzan’ were grafted with bark patches from the symptomatic tree and observed for induction of cherry rusty mottle disease (CRMD) symptoms. Ninety days after grafting, symptoms typical of CRMD consisting of chlorotic yellow mottle appeared on ‘Bing,’ ‘Sam,’ and ‘Kwanzan’ indicators. Small necrotic spots also appeared on the leaves of the latter. Angular necrotic lesions on ‘Sam’ and epinasty of ‘Kwanzan’ that are diagnostic symptoms of cherry necrotic rusty mottle disease (CNRMD) and cherry green ring mottle disease (CGRMD), respectively, were absent from graft inoculated indicators. Further RT-PCR tests on the indicators using primers specific to CNRMV, CGRMV, and CRMaV (2) yielded negative results for CNRMV and CGRMV but showed positive amplification for CRMaV. The results of the woody indexing corroborate the presence of CRMaV but the absence of CNRMV and CGRMV in the symptomatic Portuguese laurel. To our knowledge, this is the first report of CRMaV in Portuguese laurel in the United States and the first description of symptoms associated with CRMaV in this host. As a potential reservoir of CRMaV, Portuguese laurel could play an important component in management of CRMD in cherry production areas where this ornamental cherry is also present.

Full textAbstract:
Platanus occidentalis L. (sycamore) is an important shade tree distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere and in South Korea. It has been widely used as an ornamental tree, especially in urban regions and by roadsides. The average rate of roadside planting throughout South Korea covers about 5.7% (up to 38% in Seoul), equivalent to 0.36 million trees. In early July 2012, after a rainy spell in summer, an outbreak of powdery mildew on sycamore was first observed on roadside trees in Gwangju, a southern province of South Korea. A more extensive nationwide survey revealed no powdery mildew in northern or central regions of South Korea. The disease has spread rapidly within Gwangju, even though fungicide applications were carried out after the rainy spell. Major symptoms included white, superficial mycelia, grey to brown lesions on the surface of the leaves due to the presence of a hyperparasite (tentatively identified as Ampelomyces sp.), a slight chlorosis, and severe leaf distortion followed by defoliation. Conidiophores were produced singly, straight, and unbranched, with lengths of 35.2 to 315.2 μm (average 170.4 μm). Conidia were ellipsoid or doliiform, ranging in size from 34.9 to 47.4 μm (average 38.2 μm) long × 16.5 to 26.8 μm (average 23.9 μm) wide. Primary conidia had a truncate base and rounded apex; secondary conidia had both a truncate base and apex. The conidial outer surface had a reticulated wrinkling. Cleistothecia (i.e., sexual spore structures) were not found during the survey, which extended from July to October. These characteristics and the host species match those of Microsphaera platani (syn. Erysiphe platani), which was described on P. occidentalis in Washington State (2). Fungal rDNA was amplified using primers ITS1 and LR5F (4) for one sample (EML-PLA1, GenBank JX485651). BLASTn searches of GenBank revealed high sequence identity to E. platani (99.5% to JQ365943 and 99.3% to JQ365940). Recently, Liang et al. (3) reported the first occurrence of powdery mildew by E. platani on P. orientalis in China based only on its morphology. Thus, in this study, author could only use ITS sequence data from the United States and Europe to characterize the isolate. To date, nine records of powdery mildews of Platanus spp. have been reported worldwide: on P. hispanica from Brazil, Japan, Hungary, and Slovakia; P. orientalis from Israel; P. racemosa from the United States; P. × acerifolia from the United Kingdom and Germany; and Platanus sp. from Argentina and Australia (1). Interestingly, the hyperparasite, Ampelomyces sp., was found with E. platani, suggesting that there may be some level of biocontrol in nature. Pathogenicity was confirmed by gently pressing diseased leaves onto six leaves of healthy sycamore plants in the field in September. The treated leaves were sealed in sterilized vinyl pack to maintain humid condition for 2 days. Similar symptoms were observed on the inoculated leaves 10 days after inoculation. Koch's postulates were fulfilled by re-observing the fungal pathogen. To our knowledge, this is the first report of powdery mildew caused by E. platani on sycamore in South Korea. References: (1) D.

Full textAbstract:
In June 2003, uredinial and telial pustules were seen on leaves of accession W6-12755 Allium pskemense B. Fedtsch. originating from Uzbekistan and grown for germplasm increase in Pullman, WA. W6-18947 A. altaicum Pall., originating from Mongolia, displayed similar symptoms in the same garden in June 2000. A. altaicum is a wild onion exploited for food in its native range and is ancestral to A. fistulosum L., bunching onion (2). A. pskemense is a wild perennial sometimes propagated under cultivation (2). Both species have been exploited for research in breeding and systematics of Allium and used to a lesser degree in screening for pest or disease resistance. Clustered, golden orange, amphigenous uredinia were approximately 1 × 0.5 mm and surrounded by stromatic, subepidermal, blackish telia of variable size. Urediniospores (thick-walled, pale orange, echinulate, (25-) 27 to 32 (-34) × (19-) 21 to 25 μm, with as many as 10 scattered, indistinct pores), teliospores (two-celled, smooth, golden brown, 42 to 65 × 18 to 26 μm), and mesospores (27 to 42 × 15 to 21 μm, and approximately 30% as frequent as teliospores) all approximated the description for P. allii Rudolphi (4), but were more strongly congruent with the description of Puccinia blasdalei Diet. & Holw. (1), now considered a synonym (4). Specimens are deposited with WSP, Washington State University, Pullman. P. allii or its synonyms have been recorded from over 30 species of Allium (1,3,4), but to our knowledge, this is the first report of this rust on A. pskemense or A. altaicum. References: (1) J. C.

Full textAbstract:
Postharvest anthracnose of papaya, Carica papaya, is an important disease in most production areas worldwide (2). Colletotrichum gloeosporioides causes two types of anthracnose symptoms on papaya: (i) circular, sunken lesions with pink sporulation; and (ii) sharply defined, reddish brown and sunken lesions, described as ‘chocolate spot’ (2). Colletorichum spp. were isolated from lesions of the first type on papaya fruit from the University of Florida Tropical Research and Education Center, Homestead in December 2007 and from fruit imported from Belize in March 2008 (4). Single-spore isolates were identified using colony morphology and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and mating type (MAT1-2) sequences. Two taxa were identified in both locations: (i) C. gloeosporioides (MAT1-2; GenBank Nos. GQ925065 and GQ925066) with white-to-gray, fluffy colonies with orange sporulation and straight and cylindrical conidia; and (ii) C. capsici (ITS; GenBank Nos. GU045511 to GU045514) with sparse, fluffy, white colonies with setose acervuli and falcate conidia. In addition, in Florida, a Glomerella sp. (ITS; GenBank Nos. GU045518 and GU045520 to GU045522) was recovered with darkly pigmented colonies that produced fertile perithecia after 7 to 10 days on potato dextrose agar (PDA). In each of three experiments, mature fruit (cv. Caribbean Red) were wounded with a sterile needle and inoculated with a 15-μl drop of 0.3% water agar that contained 105 conidia ml–1 of representative isolates of each taxon. The diameters of developing lesions were measured after 7 days of incubation in the dark at 25°C, and the presence of inoculated isolates was confirmed by their recovery from lesion margins on PDA. In all experiments, C. capsici and C. gloeosporioides produced lesions that were significantly larger than those that were caused by the water control and Glomerella sp. (respectively, approximately 12, 17, 0, and <1 mm in diameter). C. gloeosporioides produced sunken lesions with dark gray centers and pink/gray sporulation, which match those previously described for anthracnose on papaya (2). In contrast, C. capsici produced dark lesions due to copious setae of this pathogen; they resembled C. capsici-induced lesions on papaya that were reported previously from the Yucatan Peninsula (3). C. capsici has also been reported to cause papaya anthracnose in Asia (4), but to our knowledge, this is the first time it has been reported to cause this disease in Florida. Since it was also recovered from fruit that were imported from Belize, it probably causes anthracnose of papaya in that country as well. Another falcate-spored species, C. falcatum, was recovered from rotted papaya fruit in Texas (1). The Glomerella sp. was recovered previously from other hosts as an endophyte and causes anthracnose lesions on passionfruit (4). However, its role as a pathogen on papaya is uncertain since it was not pathogenic in the current work; the isolates that were recovered from papaya lesions may have colonized lesions that were caused by C. capsici and C. gloeosporioides.

Full textAbstract:
Because of the importance of spotted wilt caused by Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), most peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) breeding programs in the southeastern United States are focusing on developing resistance to TSWV. Many of the cultivars with improved resistance to TSWV are late maturing, requiring 150 days to reach optimum maturity. This factor could greatly impact disease problems at harvest. During November of 2004, an unknown disease was observed on peanut cvs. Georgia 02-C and Hull in a commercial field in Appling County. Symptoms included wilting stems with water-soaked lesions and a dense, gray mold growing on infected tissues. Final disease incidence was less than 5%. For isolation, diseased tissue was surface sterilized by soaking in 0.5% sodium hypochlorite for 1 min, air dried, plated on potato dextrose agar (PDA), and incubated at 20°C. Botrytis cinerea Pers.:Fr., causal agent of Botrytis blight, was isolated from the margins of infected tissue. Mycelia were initially white but became gray after 72 h at which time tall, branched, septate conidiophores formed. Mature, unicellular, ellipsoid, hyaline conidia (8.9 × 10.4 μm) formed in botryose heads (1). Hard, black, irregular-shaped sclerotia formed after 2 weeks. Stems of greenhouse-grown peanut plants (cv. Georgia Green) were inoculated with PDA plugs colonized with either B. cinerea or B. allii Munn. Inoculations were made 3 cm below the last fully expanded leaf on wounded and nonwounded tissue. Noncolonized PDA plugs served as controls (n = 9). Plants were arranged in a dew chamber at 20°C in a randomized complete block design. Lesions and spore masses identical to those observed in the field appeared 3 to 5 days after being inoculated with B. cinerea. The B. allii inoculations caused only superficial lesions. After 5 days, mean lesion lengths for B. cinerea were 59 and 37 mm for wounded and nonwounded inoculations, respectively. B. cinerea was recovered from 100% of the symptomatic tissues. Botrytis blight is considered a late-season disease that occurs in cool, wet weather (3). Symptoms similar to those of Botrytis blight were observed on mature and over-mature peanut in Georgia and have been cited as “unpublished observations” (2); however, to our knowledge, this is the first report of the disease in Georgia. Although Botrytis blight is not considered a major peanut disease, it may become more prevalent at harvest as producers utilize late-maturing cultivars to manage spotted wilt. References: (1) H. L.

Full textAbstract:
Several perennial species of rhizomatous herbaceous ferns are cultivated as ornamental foliage plants. During late summer 1999, in a garden at the foot of Mount Etna, eastern Sicily (Italy), we noted a fern hedge showing patches of withered or stunted plants. The fern was identified as Cyrtomium falcatum (L.f.) C. Presl. (=Polystichum falcatum (L.f.) Diels), a house holly fern or Japanese holly fern, which is an ornamental fern native to East and South Asia. Other woody plants in the immediate vicinity had died over the last few years, including apricot and cedar trees whose stumps had not been removed. A close examination of uprooted ferns revealed the presence of creamy white fan-shaped mycelial mats with an odor typical of Armillaria species that were intermixed with the felt-like tangle formed by the rhizomes and roots of the ferns. In autumn, clumps of honey mushrooms with an annulus grew around patches of the withered fern hedge and in other parts of the same garden. The spore print of the basidiocarp was light cream. Basidiospores (8 to 9 × 5 to 6.5 µm) examined under a microscope were hyaline and apiculate. The fungus was isolated in pure culture from infected rhizomes with the selective medium of Kulman and Hendrix (3). In pure culture on 2% malt agar, the fungus formed ribbon-shaped, contorted, fast-growing rhizomorphs that branched profusely. Mycelial proteins of the isolate were analyzed by both polyacrylamide slab gel and starch gel electrophoreses, as described by Bragaloni et al. (1). The electrophoretic patterns of five isozymes (esterase, glutamic oxalacetic transaminase, phospho-glucomutase, alcohol dehydrogenase, and polygalacturonase) of the isolate from fern were identical to those of the reference isolate of A. mellea (Vahl:Fr.) Kumm. from grapevine. Conversely, the patterns were clearly distinct from those of reference isolates from other species, including A. ostoyae (Romagnesi) Herink, A. bulbosa (Barla) Kile et Watling, and A. cepistipes Velenovsky. Thus, on the basis of cultural, morphological, and biochemical characteristics, the species infecting the fern was identified as A. mellea. This pathogen, very common and widespread on wooded or previously wooded sites, has an extremely wide host range, encompassing both woody and herbaceous plants (2,4). However, this is the first report of A. mellea on a fern in Italy. References: (1) M. Bragaloni and N. Anselmi. Eur. J. For. Pathol. 27:147, 1997. (2) D. F. Farr et al. 1989.

Full textAbstract:
Botrytis cinerea Pers. is an important plant-pathogenic fungi responsible for gray mold on more than 230 plant species worldwide, including blackberry (Rubus). One of the main strategies to control the disease involves the application of different classes of fungicides. The phenylpyrrole fludioxonil is currently marketed in combination with the anilinopyrimidine cyprodinil as Switch 62.5WG (Syngenta Crop Protection Inc., Greensboro, NC) for gray mold control. In August 2013, blackberries affected with symptoms resembling gray mold were collected from a field located in Berrien County (Georgia), where Switch 62.5WG had been used extensively over the last 5 years. Three single-spore isolates, each from a different fruit, were obtained and identified as B. cinerea on the basis of morphology and confirmed by a 238-bp PCR amplification product obtained with primer set G3PDH-F1 (5′-GGACCCGAGCTAATTTATGTCACGT-3′), G3PDH-F2 (5′-GGGTGTCAACAACGAGACCTACACT-3′), and G3PDH-R (5′-ACCGGTGCTCGATGGGATGAT-3′). In vitro sensitivity to fludioxonil (Scholar SC, Syngenta) was determined on 1% malt extract agar (MEA) using a conidial germination assay as previously described (4). One isolate was moderately resistant due to growth on medium amended with the discriminatory dose of 0.1 μg/ml fludioxonil and residual growth at 10 μg/ml (4). To assess performance of fludioxonil in detached fruit assays, commercially grown strawberries (24 in total for each isolate and treatment) were rinsed with water, dried, and sprayed 4 h prior to inoculation with either water (control fruit) or 2.5 ml/liter of Scholar SC to runoff using a hand mister. Scholar SC was used because fludioxonil was the sole active ingredient in this product and strawberries were used because latent infections in fresh blackberry fruit interfered with inoculation experiments. This dose reflects the rate recommended for postharvest gray mold control according to the Scholar label. Fruit was stab-wounded with a sterile syringe and inoculated with a 30-μl droplet of conidia suspension (106 spores/ml) of the two sensitive or the resistant isolate. After inoculation, the fruit were kept at 22°C for 4 days. The sensitive isolates developed gray mold on non-treated (2.7 cm lesion diameter) but not on Scholar SC-treated fruit (0.0 cm lesion diameter). The resistant isolate developed gray mold disease on the water-treated control fruit (2.5 cm lesion diameter) and the fungicide-treated fruit (1.8 cm lesion diameter). EC50 values were determined in microtiter assays as described previously (3) using the concentrations of 0.01, 0.04, 0.12, 0.37, 1.1, 3.3, and 10 μg/ml fludioxonil. Values were 0.02 and 0.05 μg/ml for the two sensitive isolates and 3.15 μg/ml for the resistant isolate. All experiments were performed twice. This is the first report of fludioxonil resistance in B. cinerea from blackberry in Georgia. Prior to this study, resistance to fludioxonil in B. cinerea was reported in France, Germany, and only a few states in the United States including Maryland, South Carolina, Virginia, and Washington (1,2). The emergence of resistance to fludioxonil emphasizes the importance of resistance management strategies. References: (1) D. Fernández-Ortuño et al. Plant Dis. 97:848, 2013. (2) D.

Full textAbstract:
Shoots affected by powdery mildew were collected from Siberian pea trees in July 2009 on the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus and on the campus of Université Laval, Quebec City, Quebec. This exotic shrub or small tree is infrequently planted in Wisconsin and three shrubs in a group that were affected are the only examples known on the UW–Madison campus. In Quebec City, Siberian pea tree is more commonly used as an ornamental, often in hedges (as is the case of the affected plants on the Université Laval campus). In both locations, <10% of foliage was visibly affected, but incidence was greater on shoots closer to the ground than on higher shoots. White-to-grayish mycelium was present on leaves and young stems and sometimes completely covered both upper and lower leaf surfaces. Dark brown-to-black chasmothecia were numerous on leaf blades, petioles, and young stems, but were most abundant on lower surfaces of leaves. Morphology of chasmothecia, including appendages with distinctive terminal dichotomous branching, (1) was consistent with descriptions and illustrations of the fungus Erysiphe palczewskii Jacz. (synonym Microsphaera palczewskii) (1–4) thought to be native to Asia, but also known as an invader of Europe where it occurs on the same host. For a sample from Université Laval, mean diameter of chasmothecia was 113 μm, mean appendage length was 185 μm, and barrel-shaped conidia that lacked fibrosin bodies averaged 30 × 14 μm. Asci contained oval, yellow ascospores with mean dimensions of 20 × 12 μm. DNA was extracted from chasmothecia, and nuclear rDNA sequences (633 nucleotides) of the Wisconsin (GenBank Accession No. GQ497277) and Quebec (GenBank Accession No. GQ497276) specimens differed by only one nucleotide. The sequences that were obtained most closely matched GenBank sequences for Oidium spp. (98%) and Erysiphe spp. (97%). Further observations indicated that the same pathogen affected Siberian pea trees planted as ornamentals at several locations separated by ≥15 km in the metropolitan Quebec area. This report extends the eastern known limit of E. palczewskii in the United States, previously known from collections in Alaska (2), Washington (4), Idaho (4), North Dakota (3), and Minnesota (3). To our knowledge, this is the first report of this disease in Canada, and it indicates that the distribution of E. palczewskii is transcontinental. Specimens from Madison, WI and Quebec, QC have been deposited in the U.S. National Fungus Collections (BPI 879152) and the Rene Pomerleau Herbarium of the Canadian Forest Service Laurentian Forestry Centre (QFB-22601).

Full textAbstract:
Camelina or false flax (Camelina sativa), of the Brassicaceae, is an annual flowering plant native to Europe and Central Asia where it is grown commercially as an oilseed crop. At the end of May 2012, symptoms of downy mildew were observed on camelina plants grown in the Savinja Valley in Slovenia. The disease was found in four monitored fields (total area 3 ha), and the incidence ranged from 2 to 38% depending on the variety. Symptomatic plants showed whitish, abundant, and fluffy mycelia covering the stems, flowers, seed pods, and undersides of the leaves. The disease mainly affected the upper half of the plants, and the stems were reduced and distorted. During disease progression, the mycelium turned from gray to black. Microscopic observations revealed hyaline, straight conidiophores that were branched monopodially (3 to 4 times) with 6 to 12 re-curved tips/branch, and measured 140 to 300 × 12 to 20 μm. Conidia were hyaline, oval to broadly ellipsoidal, 24 to 29 × 18 to 24 μm. Oospores formed in necrotic stem and leaf tissues were dark brown and measured 30 to 38 μm in diameter. Based on these morphological characteristics, the causal agent was identified as Hyaloperonospora camelinae (1,3,4,5). DNA was extracted from mycelium and conidia collected from infected plants in two fields in the Savinja Valley (1HpC and 2HpC). Nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) were amplified by PCR assay from two isolates using the universal primers ITS4 and ITS5, and sequenced. Both samples yielded a 781-bp sequence, which showed 100% identity to H. camelinae ITS sequence JX445136 in GenBank. The nucleotide sequence was assigned to GenBank Accession No. KJ768405. Pathogenicity was confirmed by spraying 25 3-week-old plants of C. sativa cv. Ligena planted in pots (5 plants/pot) with a conidial suspension (105 conidia/ml) obtained from 10 infected plants of the same variety collected from the field 1HpC. Inoculated plants were covered with polyethylene bags for 2 days to maintain high humidity, and incubated at 20°C with a 12-h photoperiod/day in a growth chamber. Downy mildew symptoms first developed on leaves 6 days after inoculation. An additional 25 control plants sprayed with sterilized distilled water and otherwise treated similarly to the inoculated plants developed no symptoms. The identity of the pathogen on the inoculated plants as H. camelinae was confirmed based on the morphological features described above. Downy mildew of false flax caused by H. camelinae has been reported in Europe from Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland (2); and in the United States from Florida, Oregon, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, and Washington (1,3,4,5). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of downy mildew caused by H. camelinae on C. sativa in Slovenia. The representative samples were deposited in the phytopatological herbarium of the Slovenian Institute of Hop Research and Brewing. References: (1) E. M. Babiker et al. Plant Dis. 96:1670, 2012.

Full textAbstract:
Crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia sp.) is a popular ornamental tree in the United States and the industry produced 2,781,089 trees in 2010 with a value exceeding US $42.8 million (1,4). A new disorder of crape myrtle has been observed since 2011 in numerous nurseries in Florida, which was characterized by dark brown, angular to irregularly shaped, oily-looking spots surrounded by yellow halos. The disease primarily affects lower leaves that eventually turn yellow and can lead to rapid defoliation of susceptible cultivars. Plants examined in field surveys at the University of Florida, North Florida Research and Education Center, Quincy, FL in 2012 and 2013 also had similar symptoms on cvs. Arapaho, Carolina Beauty, Tuscarora, Whit IV Red Rocket, Whit VIII Rhapsody in Pink, and White Chocolate. The disease severity ranged from 20 to 70% and all the plants were infected. A yellow-pigmented, gram-negative, oxidase negative bacterium was consistently isolated from symptomatic leaves (two leaves from each of five plants). Pathogenicity tests were performed using five isolated bacterial strains on potted crape myrtle cv. Arapaho. Three plants were inoculated with a 108 CFU/ml suspension of bacterial strains in sterile deionized water, and covered with transparent plastic bag for 48 h. Two control plants were inoculated with sterile distilled water. The inoculated plants were then incubated in a greenhouse at 30 to 34°C for 14 days. Symptoms of dark brown, angular to irregularly shaped lesions were observed only on the inoculated plants after 7 days. The bacterium was re-isolated from the inoculated symptomatic plants as described above, thus fulfilling Koch's postulates. Fatty acid methyl ester profiling of the five isolated bacteria using GC-MIDI (Microbial IDentification Inc, Newark, DE) revealed the identity of the bacterium as Xanthomonas axonopodis with an identity index of ~0.80, but matched multiple pathovars. Total genomic DNA was extracted from the pure bacterial culture using UltraClean Microbial DNA Isolation Kit (MO BIO Laboratories, Carlsbad, CA). The genomic DNA was subjected to PCR assay using universal primers 27f/1492R (3) targeting the complete 16S rRNA gene and primers 16F945/23R458 (2), which target the partial 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer region. PCR amplification using primer pairs 27f/1492R and 16F945/23R458 resulted in amplicons of 1,450 and 1,500 bp, respectively. The amplicons were gel purified and sequenced directly at Florida State University. BLAST analysis of the sequences (Accession Nos. KF926678, KF926679, KF926680, KF926681, and KF926682) revealed the identity of the bacterium as X. axonopodis, ranging from 98 to 99%, with several strains in the NCBI database. Phylogenetic analysis using the neighbor-joining method showed that our strains were distantly clustered with X. axonopodis pv. dieffenbachiae when compared to other available strains in the database. To our knowledge, this is the first worldwide report of a bacterial leaf spot on crape myrtle caused by X. axonopodis. This information should aid in the development of breeding lines with resistance to bacterial leaf spot and effective disease management practices. References: (1) C. S. Furtado.
