We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

ABSTRACT The fruit skin provides a barrier to the developing tissues within. In some fruit, such as the dead‐skinned varieties of kiwifruit, the skin layer develops over time. Observations in kiwifruit orchards suggest that different selectionss have different susceptibility to skin damage caused by common orchard management spray practices.

Agronomic Trait Variations and Ploidy Differentiation of Kiwiberries in Northwest China: Implication for Breeding [PDF]
Polyploid plants often have higher biomass and superior crop qualities. Breeders therefore search for crop germplasm with higher ploidy levels; however, whether higher ploidy levels are associated with better performance remains unclear. Actinidia arguta and related species, whose commercialized fruit are referred to as kiwiberries, harbor a series of ...

A hopF1c effector loss variant has emerged in commercial kiwifruit orchards, mediated by the introduction of copper resistance elements into the population. ABSTRACT In the late 2000s, a pandemic of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae biovar 3 (Psa3) devastated kiwifruit orchards growing susceptible, yellow‐fleshed cultivars.

Phytomelatonin: From Intracellular Signaling to Global Horticulture Market
ABSTRACT Melatonin (N‐acetyl‐5‐methoxytryptamine), a well‐known mammalian hormone, has been having a great relevance in the Plant World in recent years. Many of its physiological actions in plants are leading to possible features of agronomic interest, especially those related to improvements in tolerance to stressors and in the postharvest life of ...
