The use of high-throughput sequencing technology (HTS) has allowed for greater elucidation of viruses infecting grapevine, which number around 100. Many of these viruses can result in disease—it is therefore vital to the industry that it be supplied with virus-free (VF) plant material. This is generally done through grapevine certification schemes. In this study, 97 nucleus grapevine plants of the South African Virus Improveme...

Observing air-sea interactions on a global scale is essential for improving Earth system forecasts. Yet these exchanges are challenging to quantify for a range of reasons, including extreme conditions, vast and remote under-sampled locations, requirements for a multitude of co-located variables, and the high variability of fluxes in space and time. Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USVs) present a novel solution for measuring these c...

Grapevine ( Vitis spp.) propagation material is profusely exchanged across geographic and regulatory boundaries. Trading germplasm increases the diversity of cultivars and rootstocks with enhanced viticultural attributes but also risks the dissemination of pests and detrimental pathogens such as viruses in new grape production areas. Therefore, regulations are established to facilitate the safe trade of Vitis propagation mater...

The Century Experiment at the Russell Ranch Sustainable Agriculture Facility at the University of California, Davis provides long‐term agroecological data from row crop systems in California's Central Valley starting in 1993. The Century Experiment was initially designed to study the effects of a gradient of water and nitrogen availability on soil properties and crop performance in ten different cropping systems to measure tra...
