RÉSUMÉ
A new cytorhabdovirus was identified in zucchini (Cucurbita pepo) in Greece with the aid of high-throughput sequencing technology. The negative-sense, single-stranded genomic RNA of the new virus was determined and includes seven open reading frames in the order 3'-N-P-P3-P4-M-G-L-5' in the antigenomic orientation. Typical rhabdovirus-like particles were observed in infected leaf material. Comparative sequence analysis and phylogenetic reconstructions suggested that the described virus is a new member of the genus Cytorhabdovirus, and it was tentatively named cucurbit cytorhabdovirus 1 (CuCV1). To our knowledge CuCV1 is the first cytorhabdovirus infecting cucurbits in nature. Our surveys indicated that it occurs in a percentage of 36.7 % in zucchini crops in Greece.

A new feedback scheme for guided spatiotemporal pattern formation in reaction-diffusion systems is introduced. In contrast to previously established control methods, we present a coupling protocol that is sensitive to the presence of coherent structures in the medium. Applying this feedback to the catalytic CO oxidation on Pt(110) in both experiments and numerical simulations, we show that temporal evolution and spatial extension of self-organizing objects can be efficiently controlled.
RÉSUMÉ
A global time-delay feedback scheme is implemented experimentally to control chemical turbulence in the catalytic CO oxidation on a Pt(110) single crystal surface. The reaction is investigated under ultrahigh vacuum conditions by means of photoemission electron microscopy. We present results showing that turbulence can be efficiently suppressed by applying time-delay autosynchronization. Hysteresis effects are found in the transition regime from turbulence to homogeneous oscillations. At optimal delay time, we find a discontinuity in the oscillation period that can be understood in terms of an analytical investigation of a phase equation with time-delay autosynchronization. The experimental results are reproduced in numerical simulations of a realistic reaction model.
