Split-root Fertilizer Application to Highbush Blueberry Plants

HortScience, 1984
Abstract Fertilized portions of 1-year-old plants of ‘Berkeley’ blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) displayed significantly greater shoot dry weight, shoot thickness, leaf dry weight, and mean number of shoots than unfertilized portions. Fertilized portions blossomed and produced fruit while flower buds on the unfertilized portions died.

Protected and productive: How greenhouses should deliver UK food security

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The United Kingdom produces less than 20% of its fruit and ~50% of its vegetables, leaving it highly import dependent and vulnerable to supply chain disruptions. Our study maps 2085 ha of existing greenhouses, over 70% more than 40 years old, and identifies where modern infrastructure could expand production.

Engineering compact Physalis peruviana (goldenberry) to promote its potential as a global crop

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Goldenberry (Physalis peruviana) produces sweet, nutritionally rich berries, yet like many minor crops, is cultivated in limited geographical regions and has not been a focus of breeding programs for trait enhancement. Leveraging knowledge of plant architecture‐related traits from related species, we used CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated gene editing to generate a

VcFT-induced mobile florigenic signals in transgenic and transgrafted blueberries

Horticulture Research, 2019
FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) can promote early flowering in annual species, but such role has not been well demonstrated in woody species. We produced self and reciprocal grafts involving non-transgenic blueberry (NT) and transgenic blueberry (T) carrying a ...

Quantitative Inheritance of Plant Growth Habit in Blueberry Progenies

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 1986
Abstract Genetic variance components, narrow-sense heritabilities, and general combining ability (GCA) effects were estimated for plant growth habit traits from a partial diallel cross among 17 blueberry ( Vactinium corymbosum L., V. angustifolium

Transcriptomic stress responses in Vaccinium spp. F1 hybrids: Implications for temperature‐resilient cranberry breeding using a crop wild relative

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate extremes threaten the sustainability of cranberry production, a culturally and economically important North American crop. This study demonstrates that wild cranberries (Vaccinium oxycoccos) harbor genetic variation that may enhance cold stress resilience when introduced into cultivated cranberry through hybridization.

Assessing UAV-based wild blueberry plant height mapping - A consideration for wild blueberry harvester automation

Smart Agricultural Technology
Mechanical harvesting of wild blueberries on uneven topography is challenging for the operators, emphasizing the need for harvester header automation. This research aims to develop accurate Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) and map plant height using a DJI Matrice-300 RTK Drone equipped with two distinct DJI sensors, Zenmuse P1 and Zenmuse L1.
