`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 ...

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).

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.

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 ...
