Natural and Artificial Chilling of Southern Highbush Blueberry [PDF]

HortScience, 2004
A study was initiated in November, 2002 to determine the effects of exposing two Southern Highbush blueberries ( Vaccinium corybosum L) to artificial chilling hours on initiation of bud break and advancement of floral and vegetative bud maturity.

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 ...

Breeding Value of Southern Highbush Blueberries1

HortScience, 1981
Abstract Native highbush blueberries ( Vaccinium corymbosum L.) from the flatwoods of Alachua County (North-central), Florida and from Highlands County (Central peninsula) were surveyed for chromosome number and crossability with breeding lines derived from northern highbush

Is Nocturnal Pollination Important for Crop Production? Experimental Evidence From Small Fruit Crops

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 147-157, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Insect‐mediated pollination is essential for crop production but is mainly studied considering diurnal pollinators only. Here, we use pollinator exclusion techniques to prevent either diurnal or nocturnal insect visits in small fruit crops: raspberry (Rubus idaeus), over 1 year, and red currant (Ribes rubrum) and black currant (Ribes nigrum ...

Contrasting effects of experimental warming in the initiation year and the flowering year on flower phenology of boreal understory species

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Premise High‐latitude plants initiate flower primordia at least 1 year before flowering. While impacts of rising temperatures on phenology in the flowering year are well studied, the effects of warmer temperatures in the initiation year (IY; the year before flowering) are virtually unknown.

Developing an understanding of American elderberry (Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis (L.) Bolli) to support breeding efforts

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Elderberries (Sambucus spp.) have been valued as food and medicine around the world for millennia. Elderberry products are experiencing an increase in demand as ongoing research substantiates their putative health benefits. European elderberries (Sambucus nigra subsp. nigra) are an established industry in Europe and are often imported into the

Effect of Elicitor Treatments on Quality Attributes in Blueberry: Implications of Cultivar and Environmental Conditions

Plants
Elicitors of plant defence responses can trigger defence mechanisms that are able to protect plant tissues from biotic or abiotic stresses. Since one defence response involves the activation of secondary metabolites’ biosynthesis, the purpose of this ...

`Duplin' and `Sampson' Southern Highbush Blueberries

HortScience, 1998
`Duplin' (NC 1852) and `Sampson' (NC 2675) are southern highbush blueberry genotypes that bloom with `Croatan', the predominant highbush cultivar in eastern North Carolina, and ripen with or slightly later than `Croatan'. `Duplin' appears to have flower bud hardiness similar to standard highbush cultivars when grown at intermediate elevations in the ...

Synthesizing current knowledge on the ecology, phenology, and cultivation of Vaccinium membranaceum

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 116-133, January 2026.
More than 100 edible native berries grow across Canada's vast territory and are used by over 600 Indigenous Peoples of Canada as a main component of their diet. This research provides critical insights into the ecology, phenology, and cultivation of black huckleberry (Vaccinium membranaceum), a species of significant ecological and cultural importance ...
