The Discovery of a Citrus Yellow Vein Clearing Virus Hacienda Heights Isolate Diversifies the Geological Origins of the Virus in California, United States
No full textThe citrus yellow vein clearing virus (CYVCV) is an emerging threat to the U.S. citrus industry. Reports from China shows it cause significant reductions in fruit yield and growth, particularly in lemon trees. In 2022, CYVCV was detected in a wide range of citrus cultivars in localized urban properties in Tulare, California. In 2024, a CYVCV-infected lemon tree was detected in Hacienda Heights in Los Angeles County, California, geographically separated from the Tulare foci. Through long-read sequencing technology, the whole-genome sequence of a CYVCV isolate from Hacienda Heights (designated as CYVCV-CA-HH1, Accession number PP840891.1) was obtained. Sequence alignments and neighbornet analysis strongly suggested that the CYVCV-CA-HH1 isolate has a different origin than the Tulare CYVCV (CYVCV CA-TL) isolates. The CYVCV CA-TL isolates were grouped with those from South Asia (India and Pakistan) and the Middle East (Türkiye), while the CYVCV-CA-HH1 isolate was grouped with isolates from East Asia (China and South Korea). Maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis further supports this finding, showing that the CYVCV-CA-HH1 isolate shares the most recent common ancestor with a South Korean lineage, which derives from Chinese isolates. Together, our data suggest a diverse geological origin of CYVCV isolates in California

The construction of ethnoracial identity within situational contexts: A study of triracial family histories
No full textBased largely on data collected from oral history interviews, this study examines the construction of triracial ethnoracial identities (African American-Caucasian-American Indian). Here in-depth narratives and analyses of two triracial family histories surface the complex, dynamic, and interactional social contingencies that act on individual and family psychologies to share ethnic identity; these processes are illustrative of the anthropological construct of situationality. In the role of a participant observer, the author reports the history of his own family, the Ridleys of Media, Pennsylvania, which he compiled from the family\u27s oral tradition, genealogies and archival documents, and the U.S. Census. His narrative revolves around three prominent family members on his mother\u27s side: Cornelius, a venerated, light-complexioned ancestor who escaped from slavery on an antebellum plantation in southeastern Virginia, and passing as white fled north to Pennsylvania on the Underground Railroad in the 1860s; Josefa, a mysterious, legendarily clairvoyant woman from the Danish West Indies, who married into the Ridley family in the 1880s; and Maud, the author\u27s remarkable maternal grandmother, whose story begins in Media, Pennsylvania, in the 1890s. The author\u27s narrative history of the Harveys, another triracial family of Delaware County, Pennsylvania, well known to the author, offers illuminating points of comparison and contrast with the Ridleys. Concepts and arguments drawn from the fields of cultural theory, social history, and Southern literature provide the theoretical framework for the study.* *This dissertation is a compound document (contains both a paper copy and a CD as part of the dissertation).
