Three experimental data sets (WNRA0103, WNRA0305 and WNRA0506) involving three grapevine varieties and a range of deficit irrigation and pruning treatments are described. The purpose for obtaining th... moree data sets was two-fold, (1) to meet the research goals of the Cooperative Research Centre for Viticulture (CRCV) during its tenure 1999-2006, and (2) to test the capacity of the VineLOGIC grapevine growth and development model to predict timing of bud burst, flowering, veraison and harvest, yield and yield components, berry attributes and components of water balance. A test script, included with the VineLOGIC source code publication (https://doi.org/10.25919/5eb3536b6a8a8), enables comparison between model predicted and measured values for key variables. Key references relating to the model and data sets are provided under Related Links. A description of selected terms and outcomes of regression analysis between values predicted by the model and observed values are provided under Supporting Files. Version 3 includes the following amendments: (1) to WNRA0103 – alignment of settings for irrigation simulation control and initial soil water contents for soil layers with those in WNRA0305 and WNRA0506, and addition of missing berry anthocyanin data for season 2002-03; (2) to WNRA0305 - minor corrections to values for berry and bunch number and weight, and correction of target Brix value for harvest to 24.5 Brix; (3) minor corrections to some measured berry anthocyanin concentrations as mg/g fresh weight; minor amendments to treatment names for consistency across data sets, and to the name for irrigation type to improve clarity; and (4) update of regression analysis between VineLOGIC-predicted versus observed values for key variables.less

Using the Land-Use Trade-Offs (LUTO) model, this data collection was produced via a comprehensive, detailed, integrated, and quantitative scenario analysis of land-use and sustainability for Australia... more’s intensive-use agricultural land to 2050, under intersecting global change and domestic policies, and considering key uncertainties. We assessed land use competition between multiple land uses and assessed sustainability of economic returns and multiple ecosystem services at high spatial (1.1 km grid cell) and temporal (annual) resolution. Results available are for 648 scenarios covering combinations of four global outlooks, three general circulation climate models, three domestic land-use policies, three productivity growth rates, three land-use change adoption hurdle rates, and two capacity constraint settings. Outputs included for each scenario are: - annual land-use layers - summary data table - graphical dashboard summary - animation of potential land-use change, drivers, and impacts. This analysis was conducted in conjunction with CSIRO’s Australian National Outlook 2015 initiative to assess future potential land-use change and the impacts for the sustainability of ecosystem services. A full description of the methods and synthesis of the results can be found in the papers listed in the Related Information below and freely available via email from the author. The data is provided to support a national conversation on the future for Australian land systems, public decision-making and policy design, and further scientific research. less

X chromosome variants are associated with male fertility traits in two bovine populations. Fortes, Porto-Neto et al. 2020. Twenty-five phenotypes were measured as indicators of bull fertility (1099 Br... moreahman and 1719 Tropical Composite bulls). Measurements included sperm morphology, scrotal circumference, and sperm chromatin phenotypes such as DNA fragmentation and protamine deficiency. We estimated the heritability of these phenotypes and carried genome-wide association studies (GWAS) within breed, using the bovine high-density chip, to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL). Our analyses suggested that both sperm DNA fragmentation and sperm protamine deficiency are heritable (h2 ranging from 0.10 to 0.22). To confirm these first estimates of heritability further studies on sperm chromatin traits, with larger datasets are desirable. Our GWAS identified QTL for bull fertility traits, based on at least five polymorphisms (P < 10-8) for each QTL. Most of the significant polymorphisms detected in both breeds were on the X chromosome. The QTL were breed-specific, but for some traits, a closer inspection of GWAS results revealed suggestive SNP associations (P < 10-7) in both breeds. For example, the QTL for inhibin in Braham could be relevant to Tropical Composites too (many polymorphisms reached P < 10-7 in the same region). The QTL for sperm midpiece morphological abnormalities on X (QTL peak at 4.92 Mb, P < 10-17) is an example of a breed-specific QTL, supported by several significant SNPs (P < 10-8) in Brahman, but absent in Tropical Composites. The reported GWAS results add evidence to the mammalian specialization of the X chromosome, which during evolution has accumulated genes linked to spermatogenesis. Some of the polymorphisms on X were associated to more than one genetically correlated trait (correlations ranged from 0.33 to 0.51). Correlations and shared polymorphism associations support the hypothesis that these phenotypes have the same underlying cause, i.e. defective spermatogenesis. Genetic improvement for bull fertility is possible through genomic selection, which is likely more accurate if the QTL on X are considered in the predictions. Polymorphisms associated with male fertility accumulate on X in cattle, as in humans and mice, suggesting specialization of this chromosome.less

VineLOGIC is a model of grapevine growth and development. It integrates the influence of climate, soil water and salt balance on growth and yield. It operates at a point scale and uses a daily time st... moreep, requiring historical daily weather data from the closest station as inputs. Source code released through this publication underpins separate software with capacity to vary inputs and run simulations. Inputs include the amount and salinity of irrigation water, the way in which the irrigation is applied, e.g. full or partial ground cover, and key components of a typical vineyard, e.g. wine grape variety and rootstock type, pruning and trellis system type, soil type, vine carbohydrate reserve and depth to watertable at the start of the season, groundwater salinity, root zone salinity at simulation start time and mid-row floor management, such as presence or absence of a cover crop. Outputs include key phenology dates, for example, budburst, flowering, veraison and harvest time, growth parameters such as leaf area index and weights of dormant pruning wood, bunch number and yield per vine, berry number per bunch, berry attributes at harvest plus all key parameters of soil water and salt balance, e.g. total evapotranspiration, vine water uptake, surface soil water evaporation, irrigation added, drainage and water stress indices if water deficits occurred at specific growth stages. While the model has access to a wide range of regional climate data and vineyard soil types, climate data for just one region (Mildura, Victoria) and one soil type are intended to be provided through experimental data sets to be published separately in Data Access Portal for running with a test script included in the current collection. Similarly, while the model has access to a range of wine grape varieties and rootstock types, only a limited number are intended to be provided for running with this test script.less
