antibiotic production that would promote plant growth and disease suppression” (2015). The majority of all bacteria lives in the soil however, there are few that can succeed at becoming plant pathogens. One of the examples in grapevines is Rhizobium vitis, which causes crown gall, and is mainly confined to and spreads via xylem vessels. The pathogen causes damage to the trunks of young grapevines as well as to mature vines which are restructured by heavy pruning (Keller…

Topical hemostatic agents are now frequently used in surgical and trauma sites.

A. labruscus has never been found before in European vineyards and grape products 21 indicating that A. labruscus have an association with V. labrusca rather than Vitis vinifera. Data on the growth temperature of A. labruscus show that this species is adapted to colder temperatures, which may be due to its North American origin and therefore well-adapted to the Serra Gaúucha region which is colder than the…

Does Ricardian Equivalence hold with when borrowing constraints are binding? Ricardian Equivalence, also known as Ricardo-De Viti-Barro Equivalence theorem, is an economics hypothesis stating that an increase in government borrowing to finance their spending may have no impact on consumer spending and aggregate demand. This is because consumers predict tax cuts or higher government spending to stimulate the economy will result in future taxes increase to pay back the debt. Therefore whatever…
