(se bojas) Be aware, however, notice is given that botanical (scientific) names Onion, green bunching Siboyas Chamoru Allium fistulosum of plants change periodically as taxonomic work refines plant (si bo jas Chamoru) groupings. Local names, with their pronunciation in parentheses, are based on the authors’ experience and are not necessarily the Arum Family Araceae official local names. Because Chamoru is principally a spoken Coco yam Sunen ‘Honolulu’ Xanthosoma voilaceum4 language, some of the names and spellings may vary among (White tuber taro) (su nin Honolulu) Giant dryland taro Piga’ Alocasia indica1 Chamoru speakers. For example, “Kamba” for cucumber, has (pee ga) evolved as a result of farmers’ common usage. Some local names Giant swamp taro Ba’ba’ Cyrtosperma edule2 vary between Guam and the Common wealth of the Northern (ba ba) Red taro Suni Colocasia esculenfa3 Mariana Islands. (su ni) Island history reveals that many fruits and vegetables were introduced during the Spanish era. As such, most of the local Banana Family Musaceae Banana, dessert-type Aga’5 Musa spp. and cultivars6 names are similar to Spanish-sounding names. In contrast, the (a ga) more recently introduced species have either English- or Asiatic- Cavendish Group sounding names, or in some instances, the English or Asiatic Giant Cavendish Lakatån Dwarf Cavendish Guåhu names are adopted as local names.

Although many of his views are open to question, it is indisputable that the Ugaritic and other Northwest Semitic texts have revolutionized our understanding of the Bible. One matter in which this is certainly the case is the subject of this paper, Asherah.' Until the discovery of the Ugaritic texts in 1929 and subsequent years it was common for scholars to deny the very existence of the goddess Asherah, whether in or outside the Bible, and many of those who did accept her existence wrongly equated her with Astarte.

    Reaction of tangerines genotypes to Elsinoe fawcettii under natural infection conditions Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology 11: 77-81, 2011 Brazilian Society of Plant Breeding. Printed in Brazil Reaction of tangerines genotypes to Elsinoe fawcettii under natural infection conditions Marcelo Claro de Souza1*, Eduardo Sanches Stuchi2 and Antonio de Goes3 Received 11 February 2010 Accepted 30 September 2010 ABSTRACT - A citrus scab disease, caused by Elsinoe fawcettii, is currently found in all citrus areas throughout Brazil. That being, given the importance of this casual agent, the behavior of tangerines and hybrids influenced by this pathogen was evaluated under natural infection conditions. This study was performed with plants around 15 years old without irrigation; 100 fruits of three plants were collected during harvest season, using a grade scale varying from 0 (absence of symptoms) to 6 (severe symptoms) the level of disease severity was determined. Among the cultivars, citrus scab resistance was observed in Citrus deliciosa, C. tangerina, C. nobilis; a mandarin hybrid (C. nobilis x C. deliciosa) and a satsuma hybrid (C. unshiu x C. sinensis). Among the other genotypes, symptoms were observed with levels of severity ranging from 1 to 3, indicating moderate resistance. Key words: Citrus scab, citrus crop, resistant varieties. INTRODUCTION In Brazil, E. fawcettii is responsible for citrus scab. The disease is widespread in many humid, citrus-cultivating In many citrus production areas around the world, areas around the world and decreases fruit values on the Elsinoe fawcettii is one of the main fungi diseases found. fresh-fruit market (Feichtenberger et al. 1986).

  • Citrus Greening Candidatus Liberibacter Text and Images from FDACS Pest Alert, Susan Halbert, DPI
    Citrus Greening Candidatus Liberibacter Text and images from FDACS Pest Alert, Susan Halbert, DPI Asian citrus psyllid adult and nymph Yellow shoots and defoliation caused by citrus greening infection. Citrus greening disease or huanglongbing (yellow dragon disease) may be the most serious citrus disease in the world. It is the major limiting factor for citrus production in parts of Asia and Africa. In areas where the disease is endemic, citrus trees may live for 5-8 years and never produce usable fruit (Roistacher 1996). At the time of this writing, citrus greening disease is widespread in Asia, Africa, and the Saudi Arabian Peninsula. It was reported in July 2004 in São Paulo State, Brazil (Coletta-Filho et al. 2004) and in south Miami-Dade County in Florida in August 2005. Citrus greening has not been found in Australia, or the Mediterranean citrus production regions. Origin PATHOGEN: Citrus greening disease is caused by phloem-limited bacteria in the genus Candidatus Liberibacter. Three species are described, including Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, Candidatus Liberibacter africanus, and Candidatus Liberibacter americanus (Texeira et al. 2005). VECTORS: The most common vector species, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, the Asian citrus psyllid, was found for the first time in the USA in Palm Beach County in June 1998, and has since colonized peninsular Florida. Most long distance spread of the vector occurred as a result of movement of Murraya paniculata (L.) Jack (orange-jasmine), a popular ornamental and a preferred host of D. citri. The other reported vector is the African citrus psyllid, Trioza erytreae (del Guercio). Host Range Citrus greening infects most citrus species, hybrids, cultivars, and some citrus relatives.

  • Iam YAM As Hayah Part2
    YaHshua servant's Home Page // About Us IAM or YAM (haYaH) I AM or YAM? Part 2 of 3 (Part 3) (Part 1) By Your servant, Dan Baxley www.servantsofyahshua.com www.yahshuaservant.com Special Note from the author of this article: I would like to make it plain that this article is covering a new look at the "IAM that IAM" and the Greek influence upon the Hebrew Scriptures and no one, that is, NO ONE, is making this observation. This is not a point of "salvation", and it is not an absolute and I admit to this being my own speculation and even guessing in some places to make my point. Scripture is always first and it is the scriptures you should be most attune to not the ranting of someone like me with a new "theory" to push. But I do find this observation concerning IAM that IAM interesting and worth a look. First you need to know that there is a Hebrew Bible avoiding the use of our Creator's Name but put some kind of "holy" value on their substitution, replacing His Holy Name just as those have replace His Name, YHWH, with the term, LORD, so these Jews have replace His Name with this term -- HASHEM. What does HaSHEM mean, it means and is to say, THE NAME. I hope you can understand the following example. This is not speculation, that comes later in seen the IAM or YAM as another form of revelation concerning our Creator, and Savior. HaShem = The Name IAM = HaYaH = The YaH Knowing and understanding that our God and Savior has a personal Name and that the God of Israel also has a Personal Name we can look at the Hebrew Scriptures and the correct wording, without the Greek, and we come up with the Hebrew "ha" for the Greek "I" and the Hebrew YaH in place of the Greek for "AM".

Copyright © 2010 by Daniel Porter All Rights Reserved. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS To my wife, Mariel And My Parents, The Rev. Fred A. Porter and Drenda Porter Special thanks to Dr. Ed Hindson and Dr. Al Fuhr for their direction and advice through the course of this project. iii ABSTRACT The importance of the Ugaritic texts discovered in 1929 to ancient Near Eastern and Biblical Studies is one of constant debate. The Ugaritic texts offer a window into the cosmology that shaped the ancient Near East and Semitic religions. One of the profound concepts is the idea of a divine council and its function in maintaining order in the cosmos. Over this council sits a high god identified as El in the Ugaritic texts whose divine function is to maintain order in the divine realm as well on earth. Due to Ugarit‟s involvement in the ancient world and the text‟s representation of Canaanite cosmology, scholars have argued that the Ugaritic pantheon is evidenced in the Hebrew Bible where Yahweh appears in conjunction with other divine beings. Drawing on imagery from both the Ugaritic and Hebrew texts, scholars argue that Yahweh was not originally the high god of Israel, and the idea of “Yahweh alone” was a progression throughout the biblical record.

This allows adults to survive year -round. The pest insect When feeding, the adult leans forward on its elbows and tips its rear end up in a very characteristic 45 o angle. The eggs are yellow -orange, tucked into the tips of tiny new leaves, and they are difficult to see because they are so small The pest insect The nymphs produce waxy tubules that direct the honeydew away from their bodies. These waxy tubules are unique and easy to recognize. Nymphs can only survive by living on young, tender The leaves and stems. pest insect Thus, nymphs are found only when the plant is producing new leaves. As Asian citrus psyllid feeds, it injects a salivary toxin that causes the tips of new leaves to easily break off. If the leaf survives, then it twists as it grows. Twisted leaves can be a sign that the psyllid has been there. The pest insect What plants can the psyllid attack?
