Sensory profiling of South Korean grape wines: a comparison of fast profiling methods and evaluation environments

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The South Korean wine market has rapidly expanded in recent years; however, the sensory characteristics of domestically produced red wines remain largely unexplored. This study aims to profile the sensory attributes of South Korean red wines and compare the performance of two rapid profiling methods – check‐all‐that‐apply (CATA) and

Contrasting impacts of two weed species on lowbush blueberry fertilizer nitrogen uptake in a commercial field.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Numerous studies have speculated that lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) is less efficient than weed species at taking up inorganic nitrogen (N) derived from fertilizers, thus raising questions as to the effectiveness of N fertilization in ...

Curly protein nanofibril systems for improving thermal stability and copigmentation of hibiscus anthocyanins

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Anthocyanins are attractive natural colorants for clean‐label food applications; however, their widespread use is limited by poor thermal stability. Protein nanofibrils have recently emerged as promising natural stabilizers because of their high surface area and ability to interact with anthocyanins through non‐covalent interactions.

Proximity to wind turbines altered plant–pollinator dynamics in prairie and sagebrush ecosystems in Wyoming, USA

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Wind turbines influence several abiotic conditions in the environments they are sited in and may influence the behavior and movement of insect pollinators. It is unknown how operating turbines influence plant–pollinator interactions. To investigate if pollination dynamics could be affected by the presence of wind turbines, we recorded videos of ...

Comparative transcriptome analysis of nonchilled, chilled, and late-pink bud reveals flowering pathway genes involved in chilling-mediated flowering in blueberry

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Blueberry cultivars require a fixed quantity of chilling hours during winter endo-dormancy for vernalization. In this study, transcriptome analysis using RNA sequencing data from nonchilled, chilled, and late pink buds of southern highbush ...

First Report of Colletotrichum acutatum in Blueberry Plants in Spain

Plant Disease, 2001
An anthracnose disease was observed affecting leaves of high-bush blueberry plants (Vaccinium corymbosum L. ‘Sharpblue’) in small areas within two production fields in Huelva Province of Andalucía, in southwestern Spain. The first symptoms observed in late spring were circular, necrotic lesions, red to salmon in color, and ranging from 3 to 20 mm in ...
