Enhancing the vase life of cut roses through spectral optimisation during greenhouse cultivation

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Here, we examined three red‐to‐blue (R:B) light emitting diode (LED) ratios (90:10, 80:20 and 70:30) in two cut rose cultivars. All treatments enhanced photosynthesis, with 90:10 showing the strongest effects—raising chlorophyll, carotenoids, anthocyanins and carbohydrate levels, and extending vase life by up to 30%.

Early Detection of Myrtle Rust on Pōhutukawa Using Indices Derived from Hyperspectral and Thermal Imagery

Remote Sensing
Myrtle rust is a very damaging disease, caused by the fungus Austropuccinia psidii, which has recently arrived in New Zealand and threatens the iconic tree species pōhutukawa (Metrosideros excelsa).

Scion genotypes exert long distance control over rootstock transcriptome responses to low phosphate in grafted grapevine

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Grafting is widely used in horticulture and rootstocks are known to modify scion growth and adaptation to soil conditions. However, the role of scion genotype in regulating rootstock development and functioning has remained largely unexplored.

Marker Selection in Multivariate Genomic Prediction Improves Accuracy of Low Heritability Traits

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
Multivariate analysis using mixed models allows for the exploration of genetic correlations between traits. Additionally, the transition to a genomic based approach is simplified by substituting classic pedigrees with a marker-based relationship matrix ...

Apple endophytic microbiota of different rootstock/scion combinations suggests a genotype-specific influence

Microbiome, 2018
High-throughput amplicon sequencing spanning conserved portions of microbial genomes (16s rRNA and ITS) was used in the present study to describe the endophytic microbiota associated with three apple varieties, “Royal Gala,” “Golden Delicious,” and ...

Identification of Long-Distance Transmissible mRNA between Scion and Rootstock in Cucurbit Seedling Heterografts

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Grafting has been widely used to improve plant growth and tolerance in crop production, as well as for clarifying systemic mRNA signaling from donor to recipient tissues in organ-to-organ communication.

‘Candidatus Liberibacter Asiaticus’ Effector SECP8 Subverts Salicylic Acid‐Mediated Citrus Immunity via a Two‐Pronged Impairment of CsTCP15 Dimerization

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB), a devastating disease caused by the unculturable bacterium ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas), poses a severe threat to global citrus production. CLas secretes effectors to suppress host immune responses and facilitate its colonisation. Previously, the CLas effector SECP8 (CLIBASIA_05330) has been identified
