The internal modes of the North Pacific can lead to climatic oscillations through ocean-atmosphere interactions and induce global climate responses. The best example is the Pacific decadal oscillation, but this fails to explain many climate phenomena. Here, another multidecadal variability over the North Pacific is described, found by analyzing reconstructed data covering the past 140 years. It is named the Pacific multidecadal oscillation (PMO), with anomalously high/low [sea surface temperatures] over the northeastern Pacific, and a quasi-60-year cycle.

Subject field(s)
  • Plant Diseases
CONT

Peanut mottle virus (PMV) was first discovered as the causal agent of a mottle disease of peanut in 1961. Since then, the virus has occurred in all major peanut-producing areas of the world... A mild mottle is caused by the mottle virus (PMV) on the youngest peanut leaves (Plates 80). The light and dark green areas can be observed most easily by transmitted light. Frequently, leaflet margins curl upward, causing a cupping appearance.

OBS

PMV is a member of the potyvirus group whose origins are unknown, but its widespread distribution is probably the result of seed transmission and symptoms that are frequently undetected.
