Early Physiological and Transcriptomic Responses of Container‐Grown Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L. ‘Sierra’) to Partial Substrate Replacement With Biochar

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Biochar has been widely investigated for its potential to improve substrate properties and plant performance, offering a potential partial replacement for peat in soilless cultivation amid declining peat availability. However, information on its short‐term physiological and molecular effects during the early establishment of container‐grown ...

Update of the Xylella spp. host plant database – Systematic literature search up to 31 December 2025

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract This scientific report provides an update of the Xylella spp. host plant database, aiming to provide information and scientific support to risk assessors, risk managers and researchers dealing with Xylella spp. Upon a mandate of the European Commission, EFSA created and regularly updates a database of host plant species of Xylella spp.

Major Components of Epicuticular Wax From Fruit of the Canadian Prairies: Saskatoon Berry (Amelanchier alnifolia), Canadian Dwarf Sour Cherry (Prunus × kerrasis), Haskap (Lonicera caerulea), and Red Twinberry (Lonicera utahensis)

European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, Volume 128, Issue 5, May 2026.
Composition of chloroform extractable surface wax from fruit was determined by GC and GC/MS. The major components of Saskatoon berry wax were nonacosan‐10‐ol and nonacosane. Canadian sour cherry wax was enriched in the pentacyclic triterpenoids and haskap in nonacosan‐10‐ol and nonacosan‐5,10,‐diol. Red twinberry wax contained triterpenoids.

Centring care as part of Indigenous environmental stewardship: Collective learning through cultural plants

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1349-1361, May 2026.
Abstract Stewardship is broadly defined as ‘universal responsibility of humanity to care for the planet, to ensure that it can continue to provide the essential natural resources for life’. Stewardship practices shape ecosystems, create diverse biocultural landscapes, and can enhance the productivity, availability and health of plants used by ...

Influence of Maturity Stage at Harvest on the Fruit Quality and Volatile Organic Compounds of “Legacy” Blueberry

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study systematically maps the dynamic changes in physicochemical properties and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of highbush blueberries across five maturity stages. By identifying key aroma contributors and specific biochemical markers, these findings provide a solid scientific basis for optimizing harvest timing, fresh market distribution, and ...

Soil and highbush blueberry responses to fertilization with urea phosphate

Folia Horticulturae, 2018
The low availability of soils with an appropriate pH value (4.2-5.2) is a factor limiting an increase in highbush blueberry acreage. The experiments examined the influence of a physiologically acidic urea phosphate fertilizer on the pH change of the soil

A high‐recovery, high‐density targeted genotyping platform for cranberry

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract The American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) is a commercially important berry species native to North America. Cranberry is a popular fruit crop with many known health benefits. Thus far, genotyping‐by‐sequencing (GBS) was the only high‐throughput genotyping technique available in cranberry.

Are crop yields limited by pollinators? Proper assessments using pollinator gradients require measurements of flower density and yield potential

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 563-569, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract It is widely documented that many crops depend on animal—and primarily insect—pollination, but the degree to which pollinators limit yield in comparison with other factors is poorly understood.
