Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), the second most important vegetable crop globally, faces a significant threat from various viral diseases. A newly emerging disease, characterised by distinctive shoestring symptoms on leaves and the development of u...

Ash shoestring-associated virus (ASaV; Emaravirus fraxini) is a five-segmented, negative-sense RNA virus associated with chlorosis and leaf deformation in Fraxinus species. This study investigated the genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics of AS...

We identified a novel virus in diseased European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) and manna ash (F. ornus) trees exhibiting chlorotic ringspots, mottle and leaf deformation such as curling and shoestring symptoms. High-throughput sequencing (HTS, Illumina RN...

The presence of high molecular weight double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) within plant cells is an indicator of infection with RNA viruses as these possess genomic or replicative dsRNA. DECS (dsRNA isolation, exhaustive amplification, cloning, and sequencing...

Dependence on manual inspections for quality control often results in errors, especially after prolonged periods of work that heighten the risk of missed defects. There is no shortage of expensive commercial inspection systems that can carry out the...

Personality disorder (PD) has been and continues to be a controversial mental disorder to discuss with young people under the age of 18 [...]

There is limited information on the distribution of blueberry viruses in the U.S. or around the world other than where the viruses were first discovered and characterized. A survey for blueberry viruses was carried out in the U.S. in 2015–2017....

Small and medium enterprise (SME) manufacturers are impeded from participating in sustainability initiatives using new technologies due to the high cost and the lack of clarity on where to start. The integration of low-cost digital solutions has enab...

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a universal, immediate, and vast demand for comprehensive molecular diagnostic testing, especially real-time quantitative (qPCR)-based methods. This rapidly triggered a global shortage of testing capacity, equipment,...

Plant diseases are mostly multicausal with several factors influencing the health status of affected hosts. Common ash (Fraxinus excelsior), a significant tree species of European forests, is currently mostly endangered by ash dieback, caused by the...

We present a systematic framework for nationwide crop suitability assessment within the UK to improve the resilience in cropping systems and nutrition security of the UK population. An initial suitability analysis was performed using data from 1842 c...
