The biochemical and physiological basis for hard cider apple fruit quality
Fermented “hard” cider is currently experiencing a resurgence in popularity. While there is a long history of cultivating apple trees with fruit quality characteristics intended specifically for cider production, there is a dearth of cider‐specific apple production in many emerging cider producing regions, such as North America.

An inventory of crop wild relatives and wild‐utilized plants in Canada
Abstract In the face of global pressures of change and biodiversity loss, crop wild relatives (CWR) and wild‐utilized species (WUS) urgently require conservation attention. To advance conservation, we assembled a national inventory of CWR and WUS in Canada.

Abstract Indigenous Peoples in Northwestern North America have always worked with predictable cycles of day and night, tides, moon phases, seasons, and species growth and reproduction, including such phenological indicators as the blooming of flowers and the songs of birds. Negotiating variability has been constant in people's lives.

Prediction of Linalool Content in Osmanthus fragrans Using E‐Nose Technology
Linalool is a well‐known volatile compound. It is usually extracted from plants or synthesized by chemical methods. However, there is still no rapid screening method for plants with high linalool content. Therefore, we aimed to establish a method determining linalool content in Osmanthus fragrans by electronic nose (E‐nose). The volatile gases of three

Study on relationship between pollen exine ornamentation pattern and germplasm evolution in flowering crabapple [PDF]
AbstractPollen ornamentation patterns are important in the study of plant genetic evolution and systematic taxonomy. However, they are normally difficult to quantify. Based on observations of pollen exine ornamentation characteristics of 128 flowering crabapple germplasms (44 natural species and 84 varieties), three qualitative variables with binary ...

Genome‐wide association mapping identifies novel loci underlying fire blight resistance in apple
Abstract Fire blight, caused by epiphytotic gram‐negative bacteria Erwinia amylovora, is the most destructive bacterial disease of apple (Malus spp.). Genetic mechanisms of fire blight resistance have mainly been studied using traditional biparental quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping approaches.

The current task for both pomiculture and ornamental horticulture is the formation of plant cultivars resistant to different environmental stress and maintaining their high productivity. Drought is one of the most significant environmental factors that inhibit plant growth and development and cause a set of morphological, physiological, and biochemical

Honey Bee Foraging Behavior on Ornamental Crabapple Pollenizers and Commercial Apple Cultivars
Abstract Data on flower characteristics and honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) foraging behavior were collected on 34 ornamental crabapple and five apple cultivars. Honey bees showed a strong fidelity to foraging on either non-white or white flowers. Nectar reward had little or no correlation to this behavior. Reflectance readings in a blue range (at 436 nm)
