Winter Shading of Blueberry Plants in the Southeastern United States

Journal of the American Pomological Society, 2015
In central Florida, southern highbush blueberries ( Vaccinium corymbosumhybrids) are often treated with hydrogen cyanamide (HC) to replace lack of chilling and enhance flowering and fruiting. Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of repeated applications of a processed-kaolin particle film product (PKPF) and a flat-top shade structure on ...

An invaluable transgenic blueberry for studying chilling-induced flowering in woody plants [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Many deciduous woody crops require a minimum level of chilling to break dormancy and allow the seasonal growth of vegetative and floral buds. In this study, we report the discovery of an invaluable transgenic event of the blueberry cultivar 'Legacy' (hereafter, Mu-Legacy) for studying chilling-induced flowering in woody plants.

A novel use of purple tulip petal anthocyanins in pH‐sensitive polyvinyl alcohol films for the real‐time monitoring of shrimp freshness

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Shrimp is among the most perishable seafood commodities, and its freshness is still largely assessed through time‐consuming laboratory methods. pH‐responsive colorimetric films have received growing attention as they allow visual, real‐time quality monitoring without specialized equipment.

Effect of encapsulated purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) peel extract on fresh goat cheese: quality and polyphenolic and color stability during refrigerated storage

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The aim of this work was to characterize the polyphenolic profile of encapsulated purple sweet potato peel extract (PSPPE), to assess the effects of its addition (1.5 and 3 g L−1) on the color, texture, microbiological quality, microstructure, and sensory attributes of fresh goat cheese, and to monitor the polyphenolic profile and ...

No short-term benefits of inoculation with ericoid mycorrhizal fungi for highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum: Ericaceae) cultivated under controlled conditions in rhizotrons

Ukrainian Botanical Journal
Ericoid mycorrhizal fungi (ErMF) enhance nutrient uptake in highbush blueberry (Vaccinium sp.); however, it is unclear whether inoculating plants with ErMF is actually beneficial.

Conservation Conundrum: At-risk Bumble Bees (Bombus spp.) Show Preference for Invasive Tufted Vetch (Vicia cracca) While Foraging in Protected Areas [PDF]

, 2019
In recent decades, some bumble bee species have declined, including in North America. Declines have been reported in species of bumble bees historically present in Ontario, including: yellow bumble bee (Bombus fervidus) (Fabricus, 1798), American bumble ...

Split-root Water Application to Highbush Blueberry Plants

HortScience, 1986
Abstract Watered split-root portions of 2-year-old plants of ‘Bluecrop’ blueberry ( Vaccinium corymbosum L.) exhibited significantly greater shoot dry weight, shoot thickness, shoot length, mean number of shoots, and leaf dry weight than nonwatered portions. Watered portions

What does coexistence mean? Insight from place‐based trajectories of pastoralists and bears encounters in the Pyrenees

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The recovery of large carnivores in Europe raises issues related to sharing landscape with humans. Beyond technical solutions, it is widely recognized that social factors also contribute to shaping coexistence. In this context, scholars increasingly stress the need to adopt place‐based approaches by analysing how humans and wildlife interact ...

Bacterial Wilt of Southern Highbush Blueberry Caused by Ralstonia solanacearum

EDIS, 2016
Bacterial wilt is a newly discovered disease of blueberry in Florida. Plants with bacterial wilt will show signs of water stress such as wilting and marginal leaf burn. The disease was initially confirmed on three farms in Florida.
