ECOLOGY AND GENETICS OF NATURAL POPULATIONS OF NORTH AMERICAN VITIS SPECIES USED AS ROOTSTOCKS IN EUROPEAN GRAPEVINE BREEDING PROGRAMS

Ecology and Genetics of Natural Populations of North American Vitis Species Used as Rootstocks in European Grapevine Breeding Programs

Three North American Vitis species (V.riparia, V.berlandieri, V.rupestris) became widely used in rootstock breeding programs following the expansion of North American pests and diseases introduced in vineyards of the world during the 19th century.When they escape, they become feral in the most dynamic parts of Mediterranean floodplains.To better un

Elucidation of mechanisms for stick slip melt fracture of polymer melt (Experimental analysis of unstable flow of high density polyethylene melt)

During polymer melt extrusion from a circular nozzle, the extrudate at low flow rate shows a stable linear shape with smooth surface but the extrudate at higher flow rate shows unstable shapes Kitchen Scales with spiral, rosary, or zig-zag structures.This phenomenon is known as melt fracture and hampers high throughput production in polymer process
