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.

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.

Octoploid blueberry development for drought tolerance: A combined approach of in vitro polyploidization and somatic organogenesis

Electronic Journal of Biotechnology
Background: The blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) is a fruit commercially known for its high quality and health benefits, particularly for its bioactive antioxidant compounds, which are important in the medical field. However, factors such as genotype, stage of

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

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 ...

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.

Plant Parasitic Nematodes Associated with Highbush Blueberry in Arkansas

HortScience, 1987
Abstract Soil samples for a nematode assay were taken in 1983 within the root zone of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) plants in mature experimental and commercial plantings. Xiphinema americanum Cobb and Paratrichodorus christiei Allen were the predominant nematode species found. Nematode populations were not affected by cultivar.

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 ...

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 ...
