Criolla is a term used in the name of several grape variety grape varieties , in particular varieties found in Argentine wine Argentina , the most common of which is Criolla Grande and another which is Criolla Chica . The term Criollas is also used collectively to refer to a group of presumably American born cultivar s the European grapevine Vitis vinifera , much in the same way as many other uses of the term Criollo . The Criollas group of grape varieties also include e.g. the three Argentine Torront s varieties Torront s Mendocino, Torront s Riojano, and Torront s Sanjuanino and Torontel also known as Moscatel Amarillo . A common feature of the Criollas group is a better resistance to certain types of environmental stress, such as low water availability and high salt concentrations, than many traditional European grape varieties. ref http www.ejbiotechnology.equipu.cl index.php ejbiotechnology article view v6n3 11 599 Evaluation of diversity among Argentine grapevine Vitis vinifera L. varieties using morphological data and AFLP markers , Liliana Mart nez, Pablo Cavagnaro, Ricardo Masuelli, and Jos Rodr guez, Electronic Journal of Biotechnology Vol. 6 No. 3, Issue of December 15, 2003 ref Presumably, these varieties have been selected by pioneering viticulturists for these properties, which made them easier to grow in early South American vineyards.

Wikify date January 2012 Orphan date January 2012 Speciesbox name Southern pike taxon Esox flaviae authority Lucentini, Puletti, Ricciolini, Gigliarelli, Fontaneto, et al. in 2011 Southern pike Esox flaviae is a freshwater fish present in Southern Europe with a restricted geographical distribution. As Northern pike , Southern pike is one of the most important species for recreational and commercial fisheries and for its role as top predator in freshwater ecosystems. It was described by Lucentini, Puletti, Ricciolini, Gigliarelli, Fontaneto, et al. in 2011. They explicitly test the hypothesis that the different phenotypes of the pike, geographically isolated in Europe, may represent two different evolutionary entities. In particular, the authors analysed phenotypic and genetic differences sampling several individuals from different populations of European pike, They tested statistical differences in the general appearance of the skin pattern and in meristic characters as the number of scales in the lateral line. They applied a coalescent based approach to mtDNA phylogeny and evaluated the degree of historical admixture, testing overall genetic differences from amplified fragment length polymorphism AFLP . The authors recommend stopping the stocking of pike in southern Europe using northern pike from other European countries, as this could greatly impact the survival of this newly discovered species in its native range.

Image Citrus fruits.jpg thumb Most commercial citrus varieties produce mainly nucellar seedlings. Nucellar embryony notated Nu is a form of seed reproduction that occurs in certain plant species, including many citrus varieties. During the development of seeds from plants that possess this genetic Trait biology trait , the nucellar tissue which surrounds the megagametophyte can produce additional embryos polyembryony which are genetically identical to the parent plant. These nucellar seedlings are essentially Cloning clone s of the parent. By contrast, Zygote zygotic seedlings are sexually produced and inherit DNA genetic material from both parents. Nucellar embryony is important to the citrus industry, as it allows for the production of uniform rootstock which yields consistent results in fruit production. However, this trait can interfere with progress in cross breeding most commercial Grafting scion varieties produce mainly nucellar seedlings which do not inherit any of the traits of the father plant.
