An outbreak of poplar rust on ‘resistant cultivars’ in Northland in March 1991 was investigated
and a new interspecific hybrid rust identified. The rust is thought to have arisen in Australia …

Cellulolytic, strictly anaerobic spore-forming bacteria were isolated from chloroform treated
rumen contents. They were different from previously described cellulolytic rumen clostridia in …

Malolactic fermentation acts to reduce acidity levels in wine and is most commonly initiated
by the lactic acid bacterium Leuconostoc oenos. We examined the growth of reference …

black stem cankers formed on S. matsudana × S. alba × S. alba cultivars, eventually killing …

Xylem tissues of eight pip fruit, two stone fruit and one willow cv. exhibited similar seasonal
variations in susceptibility to colonisation by hyphae of Chondrostereum purpureum following …

" Ball and socket"-like membrane processes interlock fiber cells in the sheep lens cortex, but
appear reduced deeper in the lens. Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) binds preferentially to …

Comparative studies of Melampsora rusts pathogenic to willows in New Zealand showed that
recognition of two named species was possible. These were M. coleosporioides, attacking …
