Root Distribution of `Gulfcoast' Southern Highbush Blueberry [PDF]

HortScience, 1997
A field study was conducted to evaluate individual and collective influences of three soil moisture-supplementing practices (irrigation, incorporated peatmoss, and mulching) on root system development in `Gulfcoast' southern highbush blueberries. Root growth was least in plants not mulched and greatest in plants receiving all three supplements. Ranking

Postharvest Performance of Southern Highbush Blueberry Fruit [PDF]

HortTechnology, 1992
The postharvest performance of early ripening southern highbush blueberries `Sharpblue' and `Gulfcoast' was evaluated under storage and simulated retail conditions. In general, `Gulfcoast' fruit were 28% heavier than those of `Sharpblue', which had a higher percent soluble solids concentration (SSC) and lower titratable acidity (TA).

American highbush cranberry maintains strong population structure despite naturalization of Eurasian relatives in North America

American Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Premise The proper classification of taxa is often debated, particularly when organisms lack qualitative diagnostic traits. Highbush cranberry taxa (Viburnum spp.) have been the subject of such disputes since their characterization by 18th‐ and 19th‐century botanists. Despite their allopatric distributions—V.

Plants, Pollinators and Pheromones: Promises and Lies of Semiochemicals

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 9, Page 6865-6873, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Pollination is traditionally regarded as a quintessential mutualism, yet many plants employ deceptive strategies to achieve reproductive success. Among the most intriguing is sexual deception, wherein flowers mimic the sex pheromones and visual signals of female insects to attract male pollinators—without providing any reward.

Recent Perspectives on the Role of Anthocyanins in Blueberries (Vaccinium spp.) Against Cardiovascular Diseases and Their Complications: An Updated Review

eFood, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2025.
Given the global burden of CVDs as a leading cause of mortality, our review aims to address the urgent need for improved dietary interventions. Key findings highlight that blueberry anthocyanins enhance endothelial function, modulate inflammatory pathways, and mitigate oxidative stress.

Characteristics, Bioactives and Antioxidant Activity of Illawarra Plum (Podocarpus elatus) Fruit

eFood, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2025.
This study characterizes the physicochemical and antioxidant properties of mature Illawarra plums (IP), broadly categorized by flesh color into three ripening stages; unripe (green), almost ripe (blushing) and ripe (red). The ripe fruit measures 14.78 ± 3.1 (h) × 17.45 ± 2.7 (w) × 14.69 ± 3.0 mm (d) and weighs 2.5958 ± 1.2 g with no significant size ...

Muskrat Island: Behavioral Shifts of an Insular Muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) Population in the Gulf of Maine

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
The North American fur trade fundamentally shifted baselines of furbearing mammals worldwide. Using camera traps and visual surveys, we document unexpected ecological and behavioral characteristics of a population of muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) that was likely introduced to the Isles of Shoals (Maine/New Hampshire, USA) in the early 1900s.

Both Native and Introduced Non‐Crop Flowering Plants Around Orchards Support Potential Crop Pollinators and Other Beneficial Insects

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2025.
Abstract Non‐crop floral resources in agricultural areas play an important role in supporting crop pollinating taxa and increasing biodiversity. We studied flower‐insect interactions to two spring flowering crops and accompanying non‐crop flowering resources (introduced/native) in apple and blueberry orchards in southern Tasmania, Australia, to (i ...

Morphophysiological Plant Phenotyping for the Development of Plant Breeding Under Drought and Heat Conditions: A Practical Approach

Food and Energy Security, Volume 14, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
ABSTRACT Currently, the breeding programs focus their efforts on identifying and developing tolerant genotypes to adverse conditions, such as drought and high temperatures. In this context, the physiological approach, which involves phenotyping several traits, is useful for breeding programs.
