Studies supporting managed or wild insects are based on a few reports and there are problems with the methods used to assess pollination. This review examined the role of pollination in strawberry. The mean (± s.d. or standard deviation) pollinator dependence (PD) for yield (self-pollination versus open- or insect-assisted pollination) was 0.36 ± 0.26 (P < 0.001, N = 52 studies). The yields of plants exposed to supplementary insects were higher than those exposed to pollinators under natural open conditions, with a calculated pollen limitation (PL) of 0.20 ± 0.17 (P < 0.001, N = 20 studies). Fields close to semi-natural habitats, wildflowers, grass or hedges can have more pollinators and a greater diversity of pollinators than fields further away. However, a greater abundance of pollinators does not always lead to higher fruit set. Yield is dependent on insect pollinators (moderate pollinator dependence) and is limited by the availability of pollen under natural open conditions (moderate pollen limitation).","PeriodicalId":22704,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology","volume":"46 1","pages":"685 - 714"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88211564","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 bagging treatment decreased the contents of Ca, N, and K mineral elements and increased the contents of Fe, Cu, Mg, and P. Also, except for Ca, the contents of these elements in the decayed tissues of soft nose fruit were higher than those in the unaffected tissues. Using principal component and correlation coefficient analysis indicated that fruit size was related to the incidence of soft nose and mineral element imbalance rather than the lack of Ca being the main cause for internal breakdown. In conclusion, the preharvest bagging treatment affected mineral element content, and the fruit size of mango also affected the distribution and concentration of the mineral elements.","PeriodicalId":22704,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology","volume":"47 1","pages":"799 - 806"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82123705","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}

Broad phenotypic variability among the guava cultivars/hybrids was detected using morphological descriptors. A set of 36 SCoT markers were used for polymorphism, out of which 31(86.1%) markers showed polymorphism, indicating high genetic variability in the guava cultivars/hybrids. During the analysis, 291 polymorphic amplicons were obtained, ranging from four to 19, with an average of 9.4 amplicons per primer and average polymorphic information content of 0.47.The UPGMA classified hybrids and cultivars into two groups. Based on morphological and molecular performance, L-49(Sardar) was ranked as the most promising cultivar for the low hills of NW Himalayan conditions.

Fruit from papaya cultivated using raised bed conditions were crisper than those cultivated under open field conditions. Conversely, fruit cultivated under open field conditions were firmer. In all cases, mesocarp cells and intercellular spaces were larger in papaya fruit cultivated in raised beds, reflecting the higher relative humidity (RH) of the cultivation conditions and greater water availability. At harvest, TIP2–1, TIP4–1, SIP1 and PIP1–3 expression was significantly higher in fruit cultivated under raised bed conditions, which correlated with the larger cells of the mesocarp, the RH and the ready availability of water. There also appeared to be a link between aquaporin gene expression and crispness in papaya fruit from both conditions. Expression of TIP2–1 and TIP4–1 correlated with papaya fruit under open field conditions while SIP1 and PIP2–5 correlated with papaya fruit under raised bed conditions. The results clearly demonstrate the effect of cultivation conditions on fruit texture, with water availability being critical in the production of market-preferred crisp fruit with the optimal conditions. These conditions are reflected in the higher expression of the water transport aquaporins which likely control crispness.","PeriodicalId":22704,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology","volume":"23 1","pages":"758 - 771"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83246942","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}

As a result, the timeframe estimated for plantlet production is underestimated resulting in exceptionally long processes in the laboratory that make the production system unfeasible to bring to markets. Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is considered the most suitable and integrated technology for the large-scale production of clonal cocoa plants, compared to conventional methods. To date, practical application of SE to produce cocoa genotypes of interest has been limited, and for ‘drop-in’ technology replacements, price is of paramount importance for success. Therefore, the objective of this work was to produce the CCN51 genotype in a pilot scale in the laboratory with an approach to commercial production. The productive stages for a complex biological process such as SE and a reduction in production cycle time were defined. The production stages defined for SE were initiation, multiplication, maturation, germination, and acclimatization. The minimal time obtained for CCN51 production was 8.3 months: 30, 70, 50, 70, and 30 days, respectively. The decrease in the time of the production process directly influences the process cost and it represents a breakthrough in the technology development.","PeriodicalId":22704,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology","volume":"5 1","pages":"814 - 826"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75754671","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}

For the mangosteen crop, these losses are all the more important as they constitute a major problem. In Côte d’Ivoire, the few mangosteen preservation techniques have been developed mainly by traders and are based on limiting exchanges with the surrounding environment. However, these techniques are not very effective because they only preserve the fruit for a few days. In order to address this issue, the present study aims to evaluate the influence of the harvesting stage and the effectiveness of preservation treatments on the storage time and the evolution of several physical and biochemical parameters of the mangosteen. To this end, mangosteens harvested at two different stages of maturity were subjected to different preservation treatments (refrigeration, bagging, oil coating and blanching). The results showed that the storage time of the mangosteen was significantly longer with fruit harvested at the orange-red stage. Also, two of the four storage treatments evaluated, namely refrigeration and bagging, significantly extended the shelf life of the mangosteen (+15 and+6 days respectively with these treatments). In contrast to these treatments, blanching caused a reduction in fruit storage time.","PeriodicalId":22704,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology","volume":"79 1","pages":"786 - 798"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83927894","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}
