The Anti-Proliferative and Anti-Invasive Effect of Leaf Extracts of Blueberry Plants Treated with Methyl Jasmonate on Human Gastric Cancer In Vitro Is Related to Their Antioxidant Properties [PDF]
Antioxidants, 2020 Gastric cancer is the third main cause of cancerous tumors in humans in Chile. It is well-accepted that a diet rich in antioxidant plants could help in fighting cancer. Blueberry is a fruit crop with a high content of antioxidants. Methyl jasmonate (MeJA)

Isolation and Characterization of Endomycorrhizal Fungi Associated with Growth Promotion of Blueberry Plants [PDF]
Journal of Fungi (Basel, Switzerland), 2021 Despite their notable root mutualism with blueberries (Vaccinium spp.), studies related to Ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) are relatively limited. In this study, we report the isolation of 14 endomycorrhizal fungi and their identification by fungal colony morphology characterization combined with PCR-amplified fungal internal transcribed spacer (ITS ...

Comprehensive Analysis of Highbush Blueberry Plants Propagated In Vitro and Conventionally. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2023 In vitro culture allows the production of numerous plants with both desirable and undesirable traits. To investigate the impact of the propagation method on highbush blueberry plants, an analysis was performed on four groups of differentially propagated plants: in vitro with axillary (TC-Ax) or adventitious shoots (TC-Ad), conventionally (SC) and using

Isolation and characterization of Agrobacterium vacciniicorymbosi sp. nov. originating from crown galls in blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) in Serbia [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSeven bacterial isolates were obtained from crown gall in blueberry plants (Vaccinium corymbosum) growing in Serbia in 2020. Phylogenetic analysis of the novel isolates using four housekeeping genes – atpD, dnaK, glnA, and rpoB, as well as gene 16 S rRNA

Pruning Blueberry Plants in Florida
EDIS, 2004 Pruning has long been recognized as a beneficial cultural practice in blueberry growing. Skillful pruning requires experience and growers generally develop their own style which may be slightly different from their neighbor's, but should accomplish the ...

Overexpression of blueberry FLOWERING LOCUS T is associated with changes in the expression of phytohormone-related genes in blueberry plants. [PDF]
Hortic Res, 2016 Flowering locus T (FT) is a primary integrator in the regulation of plant flowering. Overexpressing a blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) FT gene (VcFT) (herein VcFT-OX) resulted in early flowering and dwarfing in 'Aurora' plants (herein 'VcFT-Aurora'). In this study, we found that VcFT-OX reduced shoot regeneration from leaf explants.
