Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND:

Blueberry is among the fastest growing fruit crops in the world, which is beneficial to human health and attracts extensive interests. In contrast to its rapid development and utilization, availability of molecular and genetic resources for blueberries are still scarce.

OBJECTIVE:

In present report, transcriptomic profiling of four widely cultivated varieties of Rabbiteye and Southern Highbush blueberries were characterized to assist the breeding programs.

METHODS:

Both de novo and reference-based assembly were conducted to generate the genetic resources that can be used in the further functional and breeding studies.

RESULTS:

De novo and reference-based assembly found average 136,350 and 158,123 non-redundant transcripts, respectively. Average 57,668 de novo assembled transcripts can be functionally annotated by homology search with different databases. We further detected 6,268 polymorphic simple sequence repeats, 566,913 high-quality single nucleotide polymorphisms and 88,662 insertion and deletions among the four varieties with comparison to a recently released reference genome of blueberry. Differentially expressed genes analysis showed that varieties of same species show less differences within species but larger differences between species.

CONCLUSIONS:

These comprehensive and high-quality genetic resources will contribute to a wide range of genetics and molecular breeding studies in blueberries.

Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND: In blueberries, the total polyphenol contents, total anthocyanin contents, and antioxidant activities of fruits in blueberries and their relatives are becoming important targets for breeders. Recently, intersectional hybrids between Japanese wild species Shashanbo and highbush blueberry were produced using polyploid breeding for the first time. However, the polyphenol contents, antioxidant activities, and anti-cancer cell proliferation properties of the fruits of these intersectional hybrids have not been studied sufficiently. OBJECTIVE: The objectives of this study were to determine the anthocyanin contents, polyphenol contents, and antioxidant activities at each stage of fruit development in intersectional hybrids, and to examine the effects of the fruit extracts on anti-cancer cell proliferation properties using human promyelocytic leukemia (HL-60) cells. METHODS: Freeze-dried fruit samples of three intersectional hybrids and their parents at five developmental stages were used to evaluate their polyphenol contents, anthocyanin contents, and levels of two types of antioxidant activities (DPPH and ORAC). The anti-cancer cell proliferation properties of each extract were also evaluated according to the survival rate of HL-60 cells. RESULTS: The total polyphenol contents in fruits of the intersectional hybrids gradually decreased as the fruits grew, but the contents increased slightly at the mature stage. Meanwhile, the total anthocyanin contents increased strongly to the mature stage. In addition, the fruit extract of intersectional hybrid JM1 was found to be more effective for inhibiting the growth of HL-60 human leukemia cells in vitro. Total polyphenol content correlated highly with antioxidant activities and anti-cancer cell proliferation properties. CONCLUSIONS: We clarified that the intersectional hybrids had produced have abundant bioactive compounds, high levels of antioxidant activities, and anti-cancer cell proliferation properties. The results proved the effectiveness of the use of Japanese wild Vaccinium species for the strategic breeding of blueberries with high levels of bioactive compounds.
Coordinated energy management strategy in scheme of flexible grid-connected hubs participating in energy and reserve markets
Authors: Kazemi Mohsen , Niknam Taher , Bahmani-Firouzi Bahman , Nafar Mehdi
Published: June 2021

This paper uses the coordinated energy management strategy for different sources and storages in the framework of flexible grid-connected energy hubs that participate in the day-ahead (DA) energy and reserve markets. In the base problem, this method maximizes the difference between the expected revenue of hubs gained by selling energy and reserve power in the proposed markets and the expected cost of lost flexibility (COLF). Also, it is subject to linearized optimal power flow (LOPF) equations in the electricity, gas and district heating systems, as well as hub constraints including different sources, storages and reserve models. This problem contains uncertainties of load, market price, reserve requirement, renewable power and hub mobile storages parameters. Therefore, the hybrid stochastic/robust optimization (HSRO) is suitable to model these uncertain parameters and obtain robust capability for the hub to improve the system flexibility. Accordingly, the bounded uncertainty-based robust optimization (BURO) is used in this paper to model the uncertainty of hub mobile storages to achieve the hub robust potential in improving the system flexibility, and other uncertain parameters are modeled according to scenario-based stochastic programming (SBSP). Finally, the proposed strategy is implemented on a standard test system. The obtained numerical results confirm the capability of the suggested scheme in improving the economic status of sources and storages using the coordinated energy management strategy in the form of an energy hub, as well as enhancing economic conditions, operation, and flexibility of energy networks thanks to hubs for having access to optimal scheduling.

Authors: Aishwarya N. , BennilaThangammal C. , Praveena N.G.
Published: June 2021

Getting a complete description of scene with all the relevant objects in focus is a hot research area in surveillance, medicine and machine vision applications. In this work, transform based fusion method called as NSCT-FMO, is introduced to integrate the image pairs having different focus features. The NSCT-FMO approach basically contains four steps. Initially, the NSCT is applied on the input images to acquire the approximation and detailed structural information. Then, the approximation sub band coefficients are merged by employing the novel Focus Measure Optimization (FMO) approach. Next, the detailed sub-images are combined using Phase Congruency (PC). Finally, an inverse NSCT operation is conducted on synthesized sub images to obtain the initial synthesized image. To optimize the initial fused image, an initial decision map is first constructed and morphological post-processing technique is applied to get the final map. With the help of resultant map, the final synthesized output is produced by the selection of focused pixels from input images. Simulation analysis show that the NSCT-FMO approach achieves fair results as compared to traditional MST based methods both in qualitative and quantitative assessments.

Authors: Luo Dan , Zhang Yu , Li Jia , Li Jisheng
Published: June 2021

Virtual surgery robot can accurately modeling of surgical instruments and human organs, and realistic simulation of various surgical phenomena such as deformation of organic tissues, surgery simulation system can provide operators with reusable virtual training and simulation environment. To meet the requirement of virtual surgery robot for the authenticity and real-time of soft tissue deformation and surgical simulation in liver surgery, a new method is proposed to simulate the deformation of soft tissue. This method combines the spring force, the external force of the system, and the constraint force produced by the constraint function of the position-based dynamics. Based on the position-based dynamics, an improved three-parameter mass-spring model is added. In the calculation of the elastic force, the nonlinearity and viscoelasticity of the soft tissue are introduced, and the joint force of the constraint projection process and the constraint force of the position-based dynamics is used to modify mass points movement. The method of position-based dynamics based on biological characteristics, not only considers the biomechanical properties of biological soft tissue as an organic polymer such as viscoelasticity, nonlinearity, and incompressibility but also retains the rapidity and stability of the position based dynamic method. Through the simulation data, the optimal side length of tetrahedral mesh in the improved three-parameter model is obtained, and the physical properties of the model are proved. The real-time simulation of the liver and other organs is completed by using the Geomagic touch force feedback device, which proves the practicability and effectiveness of this method.

Authors: Jian Zhang , Fu-Wang Zhao
Published: June 2021

To solve the problem of lacking geometric and topological information for conventional 3D point clouds registration algorithm, this paper proposed a novel 3D point clouds registration algorithm based on improved extended Gaussian image. The proposed registration algorithm first estimates a normal vector and curvature of every point by least square method. Then, according to the normal vector to calculate extended Gaussian image (EGI) and complex extended Gaussian image (CEGI). By using the calculated EGI/CEGI and spherical harmonic function, a correlated function is constructed to calculate 3D rotation space to obtain initial positions coarse registration result. At last, by using the Fourier transform to estimate translation vector and coarse registration, the iterative closest point algorithm is used to obtain the fine registration results. Experiments on three groups of different 3D point clouds are performed to validate the proposed registration algorithm. Experimental results have shown that the proposed algorithm has good performances on registration of different forms of 3D point clouds. The robustness and efficiency of our proposed algorithm can effectively solve the problem that it is difficult to find the target or the homonymic feature points in the registration process of 3D point clouds.

Authors: Nagib Wasan , Wilton Robert
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND: Despite the fact that poor employment outcomes of adults with autism was evident in literature, little attention was paid to the role of gender in shaping their labor market experiences. Recent research emphasizes the critical need for such an investigation to inform gender-specific vocational support and workplace accommodation. OBJECTIVE: This exploratory study investigated the gender-based differences among employed adults with autism about both types and severity of the challenges they face in the workplace. METHODS: The study drew on qualitative content analysis of 714 randomly sampled posts (357 by women and 357 by men) from an online autism forum to explore on-the-job challenges as voiced by individuals with autism. RESULTS: The overarching observation was that women were more likely to experience greater workplace challenges. Women expressed higher concerns related to workplace stress, social interaction, and interpersonal communication. Additionally, women were disadvantaged by gender-related office expectations, especially about appearance. Men revealed a higher struggle with deficiencies in executive functions and disclosing their disability. Over-stimulating the physical environment influenced the workplace wellbeing of both women and men. CONCLUSION: Gender-sensitive vocational approaches in addition to flexible, communicative, structured, and supportive management behavior are needed to improve the workplace experiences of adults with autism.

Authors: Grupp Gabriela , Sá Priscilla Placha
Published: June 2021

A presente investigação utiliza os estudos decoloniais sobre a colonialidade de gênero no Direito com o intuito de questionar a judicialização do feminicídio no Brasil e sua posição em face do assassinato de mulheres negras como hipótese de uma necropolítica de gênero. O objetivo principal é de averiguar se há um descompasso no enfrentamento do assassinato de mulheres negras e brancas, propondo-se a avaliar o discurso jurídico moderno, essencialmente masculino e branco, em favor de uma solução transformadora para o Direito brasileiro que de fato contemple a vida da mulher negra. Em termos metodológicos, esta pesquisa, de abordagem investigativa e lógico-dedutiva, passa inicialmente por uma revisão teórica do conceito de feminicídio, numa epistemologia decolonial, e, num segundo momento, com esse vetor, coloca em evidência uma possível distinção de judicialização dos casos de feminicídio, para avaliar se há uma necropolítica de gênero.

Published: June 2021

This paper presents the findings of the pilot studies and recommendations for designing of two-hinged wooden arches. The prototype models of wooden arches with the span of 6mand the rise of 1m were designed. The models had a rectangular cross-section of 180x40mm and a T-section of 180x40mm with a plywood plate with the thickness of 6 mm and the width of 500mm. The main objective of the T-section was to ensure the stability of the arch. Each arch was composed of six segments –boards joined by clamping plates. The bowstring truss including two inclined tie bars enables carrying asymmetric loads and provides in-plane stability of the arch. A methodology for laboratory testing of the prototype models of wooden arches subjected to different types of loads was developed. Two prototypes of wooden arches were tested with rectangular cross-sections and two T-section ones subjected to the loading across the span, and two prototypes subjected to the half-span loading. In total, eight arches were tested. Deflections of arches, cross-section deformations and arch thrust force were recorded. The arches were tested until failure. The results of testing revealed insufficient stability of the arches with rectangular cross-section in the horizontal plane. For the arches with T-section the whole arch rib was damaged, the in-plane stability was ensured by the T-section. The collapsing force of the T-section arch was about 1.3 times greater than the collapsing force of the rectangular section arches.

Authors: Gerasimchik Vladimir , Eremeev Evgeniy
Published: June 2021

In this article we present the results of studies aimed at establishing the level of post-vaccination antibodies to parvovirus enteritis.

The work was performed on dogs 1.5…2 months old. The animals were divided into two groups. In the first group, dogs were vaccinated and treated against endoparasites according to all instructions. Dogs of the second group were also vaccinated, but were not exposed to anthelmintic treatments.

Further, the state of the experimental animals was monitored with the methods of clinical examination, coproscopic, hematological, biochemical and serological researches.

Dogs not treated against endoparasites showed symptoms of parvovirus enteritis by the 6th day of the experiment. Coproscopic research indicated an invasion of Toxocara canis by nematodes. Hematological research showed a decrease in the level of hemoglobin, hematocrit and platelets. The results of biochemical research showed a decrease in the level of albumin and total protein. During a serological research (ELISA), the development of extremely low antibody titers was noted.

The dogs of the first group did not show any signs of deterioration in health. Indicators of hematology and biochemistry were within the physiological norm. The ELISA results indicated the development of antibodies to parvovirus enteritis.

This research confirms the need for anthelmintic treatments before vaccinations.
Diversity of forms of Islam: invariance and variability
Authors: Gerchanivska Polina
Published: June 2021

The purpose of the article is to analyze the nature of the heterogeneity of Islam in the field of Muslim culture and to determine the moderators of the variability of its forms. Methodology. The culturology analysis of Islam in the interdisciplinary space of the social sciences and humanities is the conceptual methodological core of the research. For a comprehensive study of the phenomenon, a civilizational approach was used, which made it possible to realize the uniqueness of the Muslim world as a local civilization and the functional role of the Islamic religion in it. The research strategy is based on system analysis in the author’s interpretation. The phenomenon of Islam is interpreted as an integral system in the totality of relations and connections between the invariant and variable components. Scientific novelty. To study the problem of the diversity of forms of Islam, the author's model of the system method, based on the dichotomy of the invariant and variable components of the phenomenon, was introduced into scientific circulation. The idea of the variability of Islam in the space of Muslim civilization has been verified. The invariant and variable components of Islam and the moderators of their formation are determined. Conclusions. Based on the paradigm of the invariance of the dogma of Islam and the diversity of its interpretation in the chronotope, the core moderators of the variability of the forms of Islam are established: 1) the absence in the Quran and Sunnah of direct prohibitions in relation to certain aspects of worldly life; the absence of a unified religious center that monitors the monotony of interpretation of canonical texts;2) the weakening of the connection between the sacred and the profane, which determined the politicization of Islam (in the form of Islamism of all shades); 3) symbiosis of religion and ethnic culture, which led to the dichotomy “classical-folk” Islam; 4) the correlation of the configuration of Islam with the socio-political structure of society, which, in particular, determined the binary opposition of two doctrines of building a Muslim community: the firs doctrine is based on the idea of the revival of the Caliphate, the second doctrine is based on Sharia rule within national borders,

Authors: Maystrenko-Vakulenko Yuliya
Published: June 2021

The purpose of the article is to introduce into scientific turnover the little-known drawings of the outstanding Ukrainian realist painter of the mid-20th century, professor of the Kyiv State Art Institute, Karpo Demianovych Trokhymenko, made during the evacuation to Ufa in the period of the Great Patriotic War. The methodology of the work is based on the principles of art history, figurative and stylistic, systematic and comparative analysis, as well as historical and contextual methods. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the definition of the role of drawing in the creative heritage of Karpo Trokhymenko of the period 1941-1944. In the portrait sketches made by Karpo Trokhymenko for the picture “Meeting of the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in Ufa”, the difference in relation to the expressive means of art destroyed at the time of the avant-garde and finally formed social realism are clearly traced. The point, line, and plane as the leading artistic elements of the avant-garde are losing their significance, remaining to a certain extent only in the arsenal of graphic artists. Tone, light and shade gradations and energy of light acquire a special significance in the drawing of the easel painters. Conclusions. By analyzing the figurative and stylistic structure and technique of the portrait works, the peculiarities of drawing in the artist’s asset, in particular, the attention to creating an air environment, are revealed. In the drawings of Karpo Trokhymenko, the line has no intrinsic value and is perceived only as of the part of light and shadow, dissolving in the overall tone spot. The color plays an important role in the drawings of Karpo Trokhymenko. The works made within the complex warmth and coolness of colored paper, silver graphite pencil, colored pencils and chalk and acquire the significance of independent works. A set of portraits of outstanding Ukrainian scientists - academicians, artists, writers created by Karpo Trokhymenko, has not only documentary, historical and cultural value, but is a significant monument of Ukrainian easel drawing of the Great Patriotic War period.

Authors: Vakulenko Olesya
Published: June 2021

The purpose of the article is to identify the features of the artistic space of a choreographic performance based on the vocabulary of ballroom dance. Methodology. A systematic method was applied, which helped to consider the choreographic performance as an integral artistic system; a philosophical and aesthetic method - for considering and comprehending a choreographic performance in the context of a new stage concept of the 21st century; the typological method used to identify and analyze the components of the artistic space; the method of interpretive analysis of the ways of creating the artistic space of the choreographic performance and the hermeneutic-phenomenological method, which helped to study the possibilities of understanding the meanings of the text of the choreographic performance and methods of their formation. Scientific novelty. The significance of the auditory and visual non-plastic elements of a choreographic performance (scenography, musical arrangement, and dramatic basis) in the context of the development of a holistic image of stage work is considered. The preconditions for the harmonious combination of movement, sound, light, and color are analyzed, and their importance in the process of creating a single artistic image of a choreographic performance is revealed. It has been established that in accordance with the basic principles of interaction and mutual influence of these components, as well as the specifics of their relationship with choreographic vocabulary, a process of qualitative transformation of figurative characteristics occurs while maintaining their inherent aesthetic nature. Conclusions. Choreographic art specifically transforms the features of the artistic space – the artistically reflected and transformed space of reality, endowed with aesthetic meaning and content. Despite the originality of each specific choreographic performance, created on the basis of the vocabulary of ballroom dance, the specifics of the staging solution, etc., a stage choreographic work is an integral artistic phenomenon. The study revealed that the radical transformation of the story sources of stage ballroom dance does not imply violation of their figurative and poetic concept. But the use of specific techniques and methods by choreographers-producers contributes to the creation of a multi-layered artistic space of the performance, the organic interaction of many subtexts, the emergence of innovative semantic perspectives, the generation of semantic potential, and the production of new meanings. It is stated that the multi-layered artistic space of a choreographic performance is due to the specifics of their plot basis, artistic principles, and the individual vision of the director.

THE WORKER AND VILLAGE CORRESPONDENTS (ROBSILKOR) MOVEMENT IN THE SYSTEM OF MASS-CIRCULATION PRESS OF UKRAINE (the 1920s – early 1930s)
Authors: Vakulchuk Olha
Published: June 2021

The purpose of the article is to characterize the Robsilkor movement as a specific phenomenon of the Soviet era, a kind of social and political movement existing within the Soviet Party press; to determine the place and significance of the movement in the system of mass-circulation press of Ukraine during its formation and development. The methodology is based on the principle of historicism and offers a set of methods to be applied herein, in particular: historical and chronological, analysis of historical sources and synthesis of information. The scientific novelty lies in consideration of the Robsilkor movement as a phenomenon of the Soviet era in the context of the functioning of the grassroots press, in particular, wall and mass-circulation newspapers issued by the industrial enterprises, collective farms, schools, and institutions of Ukraine in the 1920s - early 1930s. Conclusions. The Robsilkor movement was a specific phenomenon of the Soviet era that became widespread and gained public importance thanks to the support of the Soviet Party leadership that trusted workers and village correspondents to shape public opinion. The main feature of the movement was its massiveness as the active majority worked as correspondents «building Soviet socialism» and manifesting Soviet democracy. Despite the fact that the basic principles of the Robsilkor movement were ideologically charged, it had a positive influence on society at that time. Thanks to the opportunity to become a newspaper correspondent, ordinary workers and peasants learned the basics of journalism, increasing their level of education and culture; the most capable of the worker and village correspondents became editors, literary workers. In the context of acute shortage of professional staff, worker and village correspondents became the main contributors to the grassroots press – district, mass-circulation, and wall newspapers. That job required deep awareness of the affairs of a particular production team as well as participation in public life. Awareness of the contribution to the history of media education can also serve as a positive factor that characterizes the Robsilkor movement. Key words: worker and village correspondents; Robsilkor movement; Soviet party press; masscirculation and wall newspapers

Florida's Citrus Canker Eradication Program (CCEP): Benefit-Cost Analysis
Authors: Zansler Marisa L. , Spreen Thomas H. , Muraro Ronald P.
Published: June 2021

In this paper, an economic analysis of the Citrus Canker Eradication Program (CCEP) on the Florida citrus industry is conducted through employment of a benefit-cost analysis of retaining the current policy. A benefit-cost analysis of the CCEP in Florida is developed using the predicted values of the benefits and the costs associated with the policy. The actual expenditures of implementation to-date are weighed against the estimated loss of revenue and the cost savings associated with an industry with pervasive citrus canker in an attempt to assess the net benefits of the policy. This is EDIS document FE531, a publication of the Department of Food and Resource Economics, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.

Florida's Citrus Canker Eradication Program (CCEP): Summary of Annual Costs and Benefits
Authors: Zansler Marisa L. , Spreen Thomas H. , Muraro Ronald P.
Published: June 2021

In the analysis presented in this paper, the benefits of the Citrus Canker Eradication Program (CCEP) are estimated through an analysis of the Florida citrus industry under the scenario that citrus canker has become established. All other factors are held constant. The estimated net change in revenue in the fresh and processed markets and the additional costs of production were measurements of the predicted benefits.

Parasitoid of the Citrus Leafminer, Semielacher petiolatus (Girault) (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Eulophidae)
Authors: Hoy Marjorie A. , Zappala Lucia , Nguyen Ru
Published: June 2021

The citrus leafminer, Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae), was first detected in Florida in 1993 (Heppner 1993). This invasive pest spread rapidly throughout the citrus-growing areas and is now well established in Florida. The parasitoid Semielacher petiolatus (Girault) (Hymenoptera: Eulophdae) was introduced during July 2003 into quarantine facilities in the Division of Plant Industry in Gainesville and the Department of Entomology and Nematology in Gainesville, where it is being evaluated for possible release into Florida's citrus to augment the role of the citrus leafminer's other natural enemies. This document is EENY-313, one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Asian Tiger Mosquito, Aedes albopictus (Skuse) (Insecta: Diptera: Culicidae)
Authors: Rios Leslie , Maruniak James E.
Published: June 2021

The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus (Skuse), was first documented in the United States in Texas in 1985 (Sprenger and Wuithiranyagool 1986). A year later, the Asian tiger mosquito was found in Florida at a tire dump site near Jacksonville (O'Meara 1997). Since that time, this species has spread rapidly throughout the eastern states, including all of Florida's 67 counties (O'Meara 1997). The arrival of Aedes albopictus has been correlated with the decline in the abundance and distribution of the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti. This document is EENY-319, one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Pine Shoot Beetle, Tomicus piniperda (Linnaeus) (Insecta: Coleoptera: Scolytidae)
Authors: Thomas Michael , Dixon Wayne N. , Fasulo Thomas R.
Published: June 2021

Tomicus piniperda (Linnaeus), a pine shoot beetle native to Europe, was first discovered in the United States in July 1992, in a Christmas tree plantation in Ohio. Since then, intensive surveying by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and state departments of agriculture has revealed its presence (as of 29 December 2003) in twelve northern states: Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin (Anonymous 2004b). Because T. piniperda occurs about as far south in the Old World as the latitude of Florida, it is considered a potential threat to at least some of the pine species intensively cultivated in Florida. This document is EENY-321 (originally published as DPI Entomology Circular 354), one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Cribellate Spider, Metaltella simoni (Keyserling) (Arachnida: Araneae: Amphinectidae)
Authors: Edwards Glavis B.
Published: June 2021

Metaltella simoni (Keyserling) is a relatively recent introduction to the Florida spider fauna. Although it is generally inconspicuous, M. simoni may be a threat to extirpate the Florida population of our native amaurobioid species, Titanoeca brunnea Emerton. This document is EENY-322 (originally published as DPI Entomology Circular 354), one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Southern Pine Coneworm, Dioryctria amatella (Hulst) (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
Authors: Meeker James R.
Published: June 2021

The southern pine coneworm, Dioryctria amatella (Hulst), also commonly referred to as a pitch moth, is consistently one of the most damaging insect pests of pine seed orchard crops throughout the southeastern United States (Ebel et al. 1980). Less well-recognized is that this widespread and frequently occurring insect also attacks a variety of other parts of pines (Pinus spp.) besides cones. Caterpillars can be found feeding on and in buds, male and female flowers, shoots, branches and stems of all ages and sizes, as well as in conelets (i.e., first-year cones) and second- year cones (Ebel 1965, Ebel et al. 1980, Goolsby et al. 1972). This document is EENY-325 (originally published as DPI Entomology Circular 393), one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.
