The surface wind and stress responses to sea surface temperature (SST) are examined using collocated moored buoy and satellite observations in the Gulf Stream and the eastern equatorial Pacific. Using 17 buoy pairs, differences in the wind speed, 10-m equivalent neutral wind speed (ENW), and surface wind stress magnitude between...
Grafted grapevines will become increasingly important in Oregon vineyards in order to prevent loss of plants to phylloxera infestations. Several rootstocks are now being evaluated in Oregon for horticultural traits and characteristics related to wine quality. Resistance or tolerance to other plant diseases affecting grapevines needs to be examined as...
Oregon is a leader in production of premium wines in the United States and the industry has been expanding rapidly over the past few years. However, continued production and expansion of vineyards are threatened by infestation of phylloxera, Daktulospaira vitifoliae, an insect that feeds on roots. Most grapevines in Oregon...
Crown gall can develop on grapevines wounded by freezing temperatures, mechanical damage or grafting. Increased demand for grape varieties grafted to phylloxera resistant rootstocks has led to increased incidence of crown gall at graft unions. Therefore a search for plant material that is resistant to crown gall has been undertaken....
