Low temperatures are prevalent during early spring cultivation in temperate climates, and they have a negative impact on eggplant growth and development. Temperatures below the eggplant’s optimum growth temperature (22-30ºC) are considered low and detrimental to growth and development. In this review, we described how eggplants respond to moderately low and cold temperatures at different scales. We compiled literature on the current understanding of physiological, cellular responses to cold stress in eggplant as well as the transcriptional regulation during cold stress. Subsequently, we also highlight the genetic and molecular evidence, particularly the function of cold-responsive genes in strengthening cold tolerance in eggplant. Lastly, we covered the role of mineral nutrients and useful microorganisms in alleviating the consequences of cold stress in eggplant roots.

The production of lettuce has been to get difficult due to infestation of cultivation areas with Bremia lactucae . This pathogen is genetically very variable. Pathogenic variation of B. lactucae has not been studied yet in Turkey. The objective of this study was to monitore the races of B. lactucae in the two geographic regions of Turkey. During the lettuce growing season in May and October 2018, totally 72 diseased leaf samples containing B. lactucae sporangia were collected from the fields of Bartın and Ankara provinces. From these samples 6 isolates were obtained. After a multiplication procedure, in which the susceptible lettuce cultivar 'Green Towers' was used, the B. lactucae sporangia were inoculated in differentiating lettuce cultivars. The response of the lettuce seedlings to pathogen was evaluated on the 7, 11 and 14 days after inoculation. The qualitative method was used for the assessment of infected seedlings. Sextet codes of Ankara and Bartın isolates were found as 44-00-01 and 13-03-04 respectively. The sextet codes of Turkish isolates did not match any of the present 37 races of B. lactucae .

However, limited literature is available about the spur leaf characteristics of the 'Amasya' apple cultivar. In this work, the Soil Plant Analysis Development (SPAD) and leaf area were investigated in flowering and non-flowering spur leaves of 'Amasya' and six common apple cultivars. Significant differences among cultivars were observed for the SPAD and spur leaf area. The median SPAD readings in 'Amasya' were 32.63 and 26.23 for the flowering and non-flowering spurs, respectively, which were the relatively low values among studied cultivars. The maximum SPAD value was measured in flowering spurs of 'Cripps Pink' (45.03). SPAD values were found to be lower in non-flowering spurs compared with flowering ones for all the studied cultivars, which confirms that decline in chlorophyll content coincided with a gradual decline in productivity. A notably significantly lower spur leaf area was found in 'Amasya', whereas the highest spur leaf area was in 'Cripps Pink'. However, no statistical difference was observed between flowering and non-flowering spur leaf areas within the same cultivars. The present results provided a general framework of SPAD and spur leaf areas in 'Amasya' and other apple cultivars when spurs had flowers or not. Knowledge of these characteristics provides a basis for building a model related to yield elaboration of apple trees.","PeriodicalId":13139,"journal":{"name":"Horticultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87014333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The scope of the research focused on the development of basic food prices in traditional markets from January 2019 to May 2021 in Jakarta, Indonesia. The basic food prices discussed in this study were shallots, rice, red chili, and garlic. Results showed that, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the price fluctuations of shallots in the traditional markets of Jakarta was not significant. During the COVID-19 pandemic, rice prices remained stable due to the government's welfare program. The price of red chili in traditional markets tended to decrease due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The COVID-19 pandemic caused fluctuations in garlic prices in traditional markets in Jakarta, and this was because garlic imports from China faced logistical difficulties.","PeriodicalId":13139,"journal":{"name":"Horticultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78348476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seed germination, oil content and sugar contents were determined. Seed germination declined gradually as storage time extended. Vacuum storage had significantly higher (P<0.05) germination than oxygen storage after 48 months of storage for all cultivars. Differences between the two storage methods were not significant for the other samples, except Yaglik in which vacuum storage had higher values from 24 months onwards during storage. Total oil content declined in all cultivars but the decline was faster in seeds stored in the open air. A similar trend was also observed for sugar contents. Seeds stored in the presence of oxygen lost sugar content faster than vacuum-stored seeds.

In this study, the effect of post-harvest GABA treatments at 0 (control), 5 mM and, 20 mM on the physical and biochemical properties and the polysaccharide content of tomatoes during 28 days of storage were investigated. Our results indicated that 5 mM of GABA treatment increased firmness and shelf-life by maintaining the integrity of fruits compared to control and 20 mM of GABA treated fruits. The fruits treated with 5 mM of GABA decreased the amount of WSP and the expression of cell wall related genes Pectate lyase (PL) and Polygalacturonase (PG). There was not a clear difference in colour index (CI) values among all treated groups at the end of post-harvest storage. Moreover, the tomato fruits treated with 5 mM GABA also showed somewhat less ethylene production, respiration rate and expression level of two ethylene synthesis genes ACS2 and ACS4 towards the end of storage. These results suggested that treatment with 5 mM GABA could be a beneficial strategy for maintaining the morphological and biochemical quality of tomato under postharvest storage conditions.","PeriodicalId":13139,"journal":{"name":"Horticultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86608187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
