We rented a car and made a big loop from Frankfurt -Koblenz / Rhine - Black forest / Castles – Munich – Berlin- Frankfurt. • After college she took a job with Honeywell, moved to Germany, got married, and eventually had our first grandchild. • When we visit we always try to visit some new vineyards. • I was surprised how many good red wines were available. So with the help of friends and family we procured and carried this collection over. German Wine - fun facts • 90% of German reds are consumed in Germany. • Very few wine retailers in America have any German red wines. • Most of the largest red producers are still too small to export to USA. • You can pay $$$ for a fine French red or drink German reds for the entire year. • As vineyard owners die they split the vineyards between siblings. Some vineyards get down to 3 rows. Siblings take turns picking the center row year to year. • High quality German Riesling does not come in a blue bottle! German Geography • Germany is 138,000 sq mi or 357,000 sq km • Germany is approximately the size of Montana ( 146,000 sq mi ) • Germany is divided with respect to wine production into the following: • 13 Regions • 39 Districts • 167 Collective vineyard

  • Grapevine Virus Diseases: Economic Impact and Current Advances in Viral Prospection and Management1
    1/22 ISSN 0100-2945 http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0100-29452017411 GRAPEVINE VIRUS DISEASES: ECONOMIC IMPACT AND CURRENT ADVANCES IN VIRAL PROSPECTION AND MANAGEMENT1 MARCOS FERNANDO BASSO2, THOR VINÍCIUS MArtins FAJARDO3, PASQUALE SALDARELLI4 ABSTRACT-Grapevine (Vitis spp.) is a major vegetative propagated fruit crop with high socioeconomic importance worldwide. It is susceptible to several graft-transmitted agents that cause several diseases and substantial crop losses, reducing fruit quality and plant vigor, and shorten the longevity of vines. The vegetative propagation and frequent exchanges of propagative material among countries contribute to spread these pathogens, favoring the emergence of complex diseases. Its perennial life cycle further accelerates the mixing and introduction of several viral agents into a single plant. Currently, approximately 65 viruses belonging to different families have been reported infecting grapevines, but not all cause economically relevant diseases. The grapevine leafroll, rugose wood complex, leaf degeneration and fleck diseases are the four main disorders having worldwide economic importance. In addition, new viral species and strains have been identified and associated with economically important constraints to grape production. In Brazilian vineyards, eighteen viruses, three viroids and two virus-like diseases had already their occurrence reported and were molecularly characterized. Here, we review the current knowledge of these viruses, report advances in their diagnosis and prospection of new species, and give indications about the management of the associated grapevine diseases. Index terms: Vegetative propagation, plant viruses, crop losses, berry quality, next-generation sequencing.

Some of these pathogens cause severe crop losses and often reduce the productive life of the orchards. Detection and characterization of these agents in fruit trees is challenging, however, during the last years, the wide application of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies has significantly facilitated this task. In this review, we present recent advances in the discovery, detection, and characterization of fruit tree viruses and virus-like agents accomplished by HTS approaches.

Hand-harvest. Vinification: destemming, fermentation for 4 days with the skins, then it is separated from the skins and left in steel for another 4 days, after the upper part of the barrel continues to ferment in steel, while the lower part is put into barrels. Aging in oak and acacia barriques. Yield: 35 HL/ hectare Tasting Note: The varieties used are unique to Cinque Terre and almost unknown elsewhere. Golden yellow color. Nose and taste of Mediterranean shrubs, very aromatic with mineral aromas. A wine that has a history of more than 2,000 years that unlike the sciacchetrà has not had the same publicity over the centuries but that especially in the last 20 years is returning to the fore thanks to its uniqueness. Production: 5,000 to 8,000 bottles Alc: 13.5% vol. Producer Information To visit Possa, Heydi Bonnanini’s vineyards in Riomaggiore, is a breathtaking experience for the senses: the shocking beauty of Cinque Terre terraces on cliff sides so steep that they seem to fall straight into the sea, the ingenious monorail car that is required to access the vines, prickly pear cacti towering above the narrow track.

A single Amalgavirus genus has been assigned to this family, harboring only four recognized species, corresponding to plant infecting viruses with dsRNA monopartite genomes of ca. 3.4 kb. Here, we present the genomic identification and characterization of two novel Amalgavirus detected in Rubber dandelion (Taraxacum kok-saghyz). The sequenced isolates presented a 3,409 and 3,413 nt long genome, harbouring two partially overlapping ORFs encoding a putative coat protein and an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP). Multiple independent RNAseq data suggest that the identified viruses have a differential distribution and low relative RNA levels in infected plants. Virus presence was not associated with any apparent symptoms on the plant host. We propose the name rubber dandelion latent virus 1 & 2 to the detected Amalgavirus. Annotated sequence record Natural rubber is an essential material to the manufacture of 50,000 different rubber and latex products.

Received: 21 December 2018; Accepted: 12 January 2019; Published: 15 January 2019 Abstract: Many plant viruses express their proteins through a polyprotein strategy, requiring the acquisition of protease domains to regulate the release of functional mature proteins and/or intermediate polyproteins. Positive-strand RNA viruses constitute the vast majority of plant viruses and they are diverse in their genomic organization and protein expression strategies. Until recently, proteases encoded by positive-strand RNA viruses were described as belonging to two categories: (1) chymotrypsin-like cysteine and serine proteases and (2) papain-like cysteine protease. However, the functional characterization of plant virus cysteine and serine proteases has highlighted their diversity in terms of biological activities, cleavage site specificities, regulatory mechanisms, and three-dimensional structures. The recent discovery of a plant picorna-like virus glutamic protease with possible structural similarities with fungal and bacterial glutamic proteases also revealed new unexpected sources of protease domains. We discuss the variety of plant positive-strand RNA virus protease domains. We also highlight possible evolution scenarios of these viral proteases, including evidence for the exchange of protease domains amongst unrelated viruses. Keywords: proteolytic processing; viral proteases; protease specificity; protease structure; virus evolution 1. Introduction Eukaryotic RNA viruses have a long evolution history, which is driven by their necessary adaptation to their hosts [1].
