Cadmium toxicity in blueberry cultivation and the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal that interferes with essential metabolic pathways crucial for plant growth, often resulting in toxicity and plant death.

Effects of NH4+-N: NO3−-N ratio on growth, nutrient uptake and production of blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) under soilless culture

Frontiers in Plant Science
Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) is a small pulp shrub, which prefers to grow on a soilless culture. For soilless culture, nutritional management remains typically vital for blueberry production. However, the effect of different nutritional treatments on

Factors limiting the northern distribution of the blueberry maggot, Rhagoletis mendax (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Eastern Canada

European Journal of Entomology, 2016
Until recently, the Canadian distribution of the blueberry maggot, Rhagoletis mendax Curran (Diptera: Tephritidae), was restricted to Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick.

Leaf anthracnose and defoliation of blueberry caused by Colletotrichum helleniense in Northern Italy

Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2021
Highbush blueberry is an increasingly important crop due to its economic value and demonstrated health benefits of blueberries. Leaf spots are considered as minor diseases of blueberry plants, but they adversely affect blueberry productivity, causing ...

Supramolecular Zinc–Polyphenol Coordination Assemblies Mitigate Colonic Inflammation by Regulating Mucosal Barrier and Microbiome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A carrier‐free zinc‐coordinated polyphenol nanoplatform (ZnCA NPs) is designed as an “all‐in‐one” therapeutic strategy for intestinal inflammation. The ZnCA NPs exhibit enhanced colonic accumulation and broad‐spectrum reactive oxygen and nitrogen species scavenging.

Exogenous application of melatonin improves the growth and physiological properties of blueberry seedlings under salt stress

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2023
Melatonin is a secondary messenger in plants that is involved in the regulation of abiotic stress responses, but it is unclear whether it enhances the adaptive capacity of blueberries to cope with salinity stress.

Interface‐Confined Cavitation at an MXene/TiO2 Schottky Heterointerface for Non‐Thermal Juice Preservation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work establishes an MXene/TiO2 Schottky heterointerface for non‐thermal sonocatalysis. Interface‐confined cavitation and dynamic Ti3+/V₀ shuttles drive charge transport and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. The platform achieves 3‐log pathogen reduction while retaining heat‐labile nutrients in complex food matrices, redefining sonocatalyst

Transcriptome analysis identifies genes related to the waxy coating on blueberry fruit in two northern-adapted rabbiteye breeding populations

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Blueberry is of high economic value. Most blueberry varieties selected for the fresh market have an appealing light blue coating or “bloom” on the fruit due to the presence of a visible heavy epicuticular wax layer. This waxy layer also serves

Improving Rabbiteye Blueberry Performance in a Calcareous Soil by Growing Plants in Pits Filled with Low-CaCO₃ Growth Media

Agronomy, 2022
Calcareous soils are not suitable for blueberry cultivation. Our aim was to improve the performance of blueberry plants in calcareous soils by using pits filled with growth media in combination with high levels of RNH4+ (proportion of N-NH4+ among the ...

Blueberry scorch virus Detected on Blueberry Plants Imported Into China

Plant Disease, 2018
Blueberry scorch virus (BlScV), a member of the Carlavirus genus in the Betaflexiviridae family, was first reported in the United States. Scorch caused by BlScV is a serious disease of blueberry and can lead to great loss of yield. At present, the disease has also been reported in Germany, Canada, Italy, and the Netherlands (Ciuffo et al.
