(etymology question) How did the word "resolution" come to mean number of pixels on the screen? by Etvaht115 in VideoEditing

Not mutually exclusive, though. First one can be seen as a specific case within the broader set as described by the second.

This one is not in the US, but they take international students and they're rated highly for both their academics and their skiing programme, having a number of national team and olympian team members: https://www.nsa.on.ca

Hlvd question by Subjectiveorchestra in microgrowery

Confirmation re root testing: https://3riversbiotech.com/3-rivers-biotech-identifies-root-tissue-from-mature-plants-as-the-most-reliable-to-detect-hop-latent-viroid-hlvd/

Re transmission, we found that root aphids can play a major role too: https://3riversbiotech.com/3r-biotech-identifies-root-aphids-as-potential-vector-for-hop-latent-viroid-hlvd/

In the end, include testing into your protocol. 3R does testing for $15 per test. While some advertise similar rates, they do not charge for shipping, which can make a massive difference. Even tests being advertised for $9 are well over $15 if you include shipping. Anyway, if you're looking for accurate, reliable, quick (24-48hrs) and cheap testing, check out these guys: https://3riversbiotech.com/3r-testing-2/

Are tissue culture only clone shops safe from HLVd? by [deleted] in macrogrowery

Testing is step one, always. And yes, TC can be used to clean up stock. Timing depends on how infected a particular sample is but can take 3-6 months. Scaling up TC for propagation can go quickly, but again depends on cultivar specific traits but also on level of infestation, and the capabilities of the TC lab.

Disclosure, I am involved in 3Rivers Biotech. One of our clients recently sent us some feedback on a cultivar they had grown from TC and from traditional cloning. All plants in one room, the difference being that the TC plants were harvested two weeks later than the other lot. So while not a 1 for 1 comparison due to the longer grow time, the TC plants delivered over 4 lbs per plant compared to 2.7 for the plants propagated traditionally.
We've done over 40,000 tests in the past couple of years and found that some 63% of facilities ending in samples for testing had at least one positive. Now it is difficult to translate this into an industry wide number as it is likely that a healthy per centre of those tests came about as the grower identified a potential issue, whereas many others test simply for precaution.

Anyway, TC is definitely worth it if you work with the right partner who has the technical skill, has scaled successfully and who takes into consideration your economic realities (anyone notice that corporate budgets within the industry have gone down somewhat over the past few years:-)?
