Crown gall disease in grapes Current methods are incapable of diagnosing crown gall disease reliably PUBLISHED ON AUGUST 11TH, 2016 Visible to the untrained eye upon closer inspection only: a crown gall tumor is on a vine. (Hanna Faist) BAVARIA, Germany — Wine growers and nurseries would benefit from detecting the dangerous crown gall disease in their vines before it breaks out. Such an early diagnosis is not available at present and cannot be expected soon. This conclusion is drawn by Dr. Rosalia Deeken from the Biocenter of the Julius- Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) in Bavaria, Germany, and Professor Ute Hentschel-Humeida who worked here before relocating to Kiel. The scientists are convinced that the currently available methods are incapable of diagnosing crown gall disease reliably at an early stage. Obstacles to a reliable early diagnosis One reason: Infected by a handful of pathogens, the plant sap distributes the bacteria throughout the plant. So where to take a sample to assure an early diagnosis with a 100% reliable result? “In principle, one would have to sacrifice the whole plant for this purpose,” says Deeken. Another reason: Different variations of the highly sensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that would theoretically be suitable to identify the bacteria are inappropriate because the pathogens are much too different genetically. The researchers made this discovery together with Dr. Alexander Keller of the JMU’s Biocenter, a bacteria specialist and expert in computation biology, using samples from five different sites in Lower Franconia, a region in the north of Bavaria. Disease reduces yield Crown gall disease is triggered by the bacterium Agrobacterium vitis which causes tumour-like growths or galls at the vines. The yield decreases as a result and the vines die in the worst case. So far, no treatment for crown gall disease has been known. “Therefore, nurseries and wine growers are extremely careful to produce and use only vines that are free from agrobacteria,” Deeken further. This goal, however, is difficult to reach as the agrobacteria are capable of living hidden in the plant for several years before the disease breaks out. And without a method of early diagnosis, infected plants cannot be singled out in time. Microbial community in tumour studied The JMU biologists and doctoral student Hanna Faist also looked into the fundamentals of the vine disease. “We know from experience with humans that certain bacteria are capable of promoting the genesis and destruction of tumours,” Deeken explains. The team therefore focused on the microbial community living in the grown gall tumours. The doctoral student analysed the bacterial colonization of diseased and healthy vines during one growth period and compared the results. Keller’s established method of high-throughput amplicon sequencing was employed for this purpose; the vines under examination were provided by the Bavarian State Institute for Viticulture and Horticulture in Veitshöchheim nearby Würzburg. The results have been published in the journal of the American Society for Microbiology (Applied and Environmental Microbiology). They demonstrate that the microbial composition especially in the tumour tissue remains relatively stable throughout the seasons. However, the variety of bacteria in crown gall tumours is greater than in healthy vines. Some bacteria inhibit tumour growth In addition to the bacteria found in the healthy tissue, there are others that are exclusively detected in the gall tissue. These include types that migrate into the tumour as “opportunists”, because it provides protection and nutrients. Others in contrast inhibit tumour growth. The pathogen itself, however, does not need either the one or the other bacteria to generate the tumour. The scientists proved this on vines that had been cultivated sterilely on agar growth media provided by the nursery Rebschule Steinmann from Sommerhausen. An infection of the sterile vines with only Agrobacterium vitis was sufficient to trigger gall growth. Deeken’s conclusion: “Our study backs the assumption that crown gall tumours accommodate a very special bacterial community. On the one hand, the bacteria benefit from the tumour environment, and on the other hand, they keep the disease in check to a certain degree: “The tumour does not grow so large that most infected vines would die.” Further investigations are aimed at studying the interactions between the different bacteria in the tumour. –University of Würzburg via EurekAlert!

Beetle damage on the leaves primarily. The JB traps in the foreground were set up after the damage began. Hop Harvest almost completed August 29 2016 Weather Conditions: 2016 weather statistics are ahead of the 11 year averages in every category. I am surprised that we are ahead of the 11 year average in precipitation because it seems as though every chance of rain either dissipates upon arrival or divides and goes north or south. Perfect grape maturation depends on warm days and cool nights for the best ripening conditions in accumulating sugars and decreasing acidities. In comparison to the 11 year average we have both warm days and nights. Warm nights may have the effect of depleting some of the sugars we gained during the daylight hours. Weather has cooperated this year and we are blessed to have a good crop. Table 1 June 11 YEAR AVERAGE VS. *2016 June DATA Ave. Precip. Ave. Min Cumulative Year Max GDD Temp In.

We are right at the time that SWD traps should be in the field and checked at least once a week. The ideal time to put the SWD traps in the vineyard is around 15 brix. For varieties that are harvested with lower brix, such as Concord and Niagara, it would be good to have the traps in the vineyard around 10 brix. Remember the threshold to apply a spray is one SWD. Please refer to Dr. Celeste Welty’s website to get more information on SWD at http://entomology.osu.edu/welty/fruit_info1/Fruit_info.html Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs are out and about the vineyard now.

  • Calder and Sound
    Gryphon Rue Rower-Upjohn Calderand Sound Herbert Matter, Alexander Calder, Tentacles (cf. Works section, fig. 50), 1947 “Noise is another whole dimension.” Alexander Calder 1 A mobile carves its habitat. Alternately seductive, stealthy, ostentatious, it dilates and retracts, eternally redefining space. A noise-mobile produces harmonic wakes – metallic collisions punctuating visual rhythms. 2 For Alexander Calder, silence is not merely the absence of sound – silence gen- erates anticipation, a bedrock feature of musical experience. The cessation of sound suggests the outline of a melody. 3 A new narrative of Calder’s relationship to sound is essential to a rigorous portrayal and a greater comprehension of his genius. In the scope of Calder’s immense œuvre (thousands of sculptures, more than 22,000 documented works in all media), I have identified nearly four dozen intentionally sound-producing mobiles. 4 Calder’s first employment of sound can be traced to the late 1920s with Cirque Calder (1926–31), an event rife with extemporised noises, bells, harmonicas and cymbals. 5 His incorporation of gongs into his sculpture followed, beginning in the early 1930s and continuing through the mid-1970s. Nowadays preservation and monetary value mandate that exhibitions of Calder’s work be in static, controlled environments. Without a histor- ical imagination, it is easy to disregard the sound component as a mere appendage to the striking visual mien of mobiles. As an additional obstacle, our contemporary consciousness is clogged with bric-a-brac associations, such as wind chimes and baby crib bibelots. As if sequestered from this trail of mainstream bastardi- sations, the element of sound in certain works remains ulterior.

  • American Winemaking Comes of Age | 1
    AMERICAN WINEMAKING COMES OF AGE | 1 American Winemaking Comes of Age Over the past three decades, a wine revolution has been taking place across the country, as Americans increasingly enjoy a glass of wine with their meals, vacation in “wine country,” and take immense pride in their regions’ vineyards and wineries. There are now more than 7,000 wine producers in the United States—up from 440 in 1970—and the boom has been heard around the world. America’s best bottles are every bit as good as the finest wines of Europe. Although the United States is a relative toddler as a winemaking and wine-drinking nation, hitting its stride in the mid-twentieth century while its European counterparts have been at full sprint for hundreds of years, the timeline of this relatively short enological development is surprisingly com- plex.
