Here, we identified 19 putative VvABCB from grapevine genomic and proteomic databases. Bioinformatics analyses revealed the phylogenetic relationship, conserved motifs, localisation, and structure of ABCB genes and the regulatory elements in their promoter. Twenty conserved motifs were found among the VvABCB subfamily and their properties were similar to those of ABC transporters. We showed that the VvABCB gene promoters contain many elements related to the light response motif in addition to gibberellin-responsive elements, auxin-responsive elements, and cis-acting element involved in abiotic stresses. The gene expression levels were also analysed at different developmental stages of berries. The transcripts levels of VvABCB genes differed at the various developmental stages of berries, suggesting that they are involved in growth and development. The expression profiles of VvABCB genes obtained via qRT-PCR were used to assess genetic responses to iron and heavy metal stresses. Iron, copper, mercury, and boron induced regulatory responses in VvABCB genes, which likely play a role in coping with iron and heavy metal stresses in plants. This study establishes a base for future functional research on this class of ABC transporters in grapevine.","PeriodicalId":22704,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology","volume":"19 1","pages":"591 - 607"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76900734","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}

Short LED light pulses decreased internal breakdown in raspberries, and minor effects of LED treatments were observed in blackberries. After 7 d of cold storage, in raspberries, Green, Blue, and Red light treatments increased the content of quinic and malic acids, and only Green and Blue LED sources also increased ascorbic acid content. In addition, Blue, Green, and Blue+Red LED light treatments exhibited a higher level of citric acid at 14 d. In blackberries, fruit changes were mainly because of the cold storage. Overall, these results showed that short LED light pulses can extend the postharvest life of raspberries, decreasing internal breakdown and increasing the content of ascorbic acid, suggesting that different Rubus species have distinct physiological processes underlying ripening and light interactions.","PeriodicalId":22704,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology","volume":"55 1","pages":"649 - 661"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82623710","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}

Ellis (Cape jasmine) is a horticultural plant. It is difficult to cultivate species due to pathogen sensitivity; hence, the demand for this species is gradually increasing. Thus, micropropagation would be a convenient tool to produce quality planting material, but the higher rate of mortality constitutes a constraint to large-scale propagation. Seismic stress is one of the abiotic stresses that promote growth, structural stability, and positively affect plantlet development. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of moderate seismic stress under in vitro conditions on the proliferation of shoots, biochemical attributes (photosynthetic pigments, carbohydrates constituents, free amino acids, etc.), and foliar anatomical stability of plantlets G. jasminoides. Results showed the superiority of moderate seismic stress (75 rpm for 10 min) in the improved proliferation of shoots, development of functional stomata, elimination of anatomical abnormalities, improved photosynthetic pigments and rooting efficiency, and finally increased survival percentage of plantlets after transplantation into field conditions. These findings provided evidence for the positive role of the optimised seismic stress in regulating the morpho-anatomical and biochemical traits in G. jasminoides which is an indication of the development of diverse adaptive strategies by the micropropagated plantlets to abiotic stress.","PeriodicalId":22704,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology","volume":"91 1","pages":"622 - 634"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80377333","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}

Menzel","doi":"10.1080/14620316.2023.2166599","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14620316.2023.2166599","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT Temperature affects the growth and development of strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa Duch.). This review examines the effect of temperature on fruit growth from the published literature. Higher temperatures under global warming will result in lower yields and smaller, less sweet berries in the future. Warm weather has a negative impact on the size of the flowers, germination of the pollen and on carbon assimilation, which all contribute to the production of smaller fruit. The relationship between fruit weight and temperature was assessed across studies. The slope from the linear regression ranged from − 0.11 to − 5.00, with a median of − 0.96, and a mean (± s.d. or standard deviation) of − 1.32 ± 1.22 (N = 23 studies). Differences in the response reflect variations in cultivars, yields, the structure of the inflorescence and the period used to assess growth. There were strong linear relationships between the number of stamens per flower (P < 0.001, R 2 = 0.62) and the number of carpels per flower (P < 0.001, R 2 = 0.77), and the size of the flowers. There were strong relationships between the size of the fruit at harvest and the size of the flowers at anthesis (P < 0.001, R 2 = 0.76; P < 0.001, R 2 = 0.86). High temperatures during flower development decreased the size of the flowers (8.5 mm × 4.8 mm at 15°C and 6.0 mm × 3.7 mm at 25°C) and the number of carpels (achenes) per flower (P = 0.023, R 2 = 0.29; and P = 0.003, R 2 = 0.59). High temperatures decreased the period of floral differentiation (P < 0.001, R 2 = 0.90) and the size of the fruit at harvest (P = 0.024, R 2 = 0.99; P = 0.032, R 2 = 0.99). The percentage of pollen grains which germinated was higher from 20° to 30°C, with lower germination at lower or higher temperatures. The slope from the linear regression between the fruit development period (FDP) and temperature ranged from − 0.77 to − 2.93, with a median of − 1.70, and a mean of − 1.71 ± 0.72 (N = 15 studies). Net CO2 assimilation was similar from 20° to 30°C, and only lower under extreme conditions (N = 15 studies). Respiration in the leaves increased with warm days and nights (P = 0.003 or 0.004, R 2 = 0.95 or 0.94), while respiration in the fruit increased exponentially from 10° to 36°C (P < 0.001, R 2 = 0.99). The effect of temperature on fruit growth in the field is confounded by changes in the structure of the inflorescences, with smaller fruit in the later inflorescences than in the first inflorescence (P < 0.001, R 2 = 0.85, 0.82 or 0.89). The production of small fruit during warm weather is associated with smaller flowers and fewer stamens, germinated pollen grains, carpels and achenes in each flower or fruit. Warm conditions increase respiration in the leaves and the fruit. Fruit weight is moderately heritable, with a mean broad-sense heritability (H 2 ) of 0.44 ± 0.23 (N = 11 studies) and a mean narrow-sense heritability (h 2 ) of 0.45 ± 0.22 (N = 28 studies).

This study examined the differences in concentrations of antioxidant components in viola flowers of eight different colours: white, red, dark red, orange, yellow, light blue, light purple, and dark purple. Flower fresh weight, petal length, petal colour (measured using a chroma metre), ascorbic acid concentration, total anthocyanin concentration, total polyphenol concentration, and DPPH radical-scavenging activity were analysed. The violas used in this study had a wide range of colours, with different lightness and chroma values. Ascorbic acid, total anthocyanin, and total polyphenol concentrations were higher in red, dark red, and dark purple flowers. In contrast, these concentrations were lower in white and light-coloured flowers. The DPPH radical-scavenging activity was also lower in white and light-coloured flowers. Therefore, red, dark red, and dark purple flowers rather than white and light-coloured flowers of violas represent rich sources of antioxidant components and their consumption may provide various health benefits.","PeriodicalId":22704,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology","volume":"91 1","pages":"678 - 684"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74961767","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}

An attempt was made to develop single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers and use them to detect possible misidentification among commercially grown strawberry cultivars. Leaf samples from several cultivars were obtained from strawberry farmers in La Trinidad, Benguet, the Philippines. Expressed sequence tags from the anthocyanidin reductase (ANR) gene were screened for putative SNPs. Eleven SNP markers were developed and used to discriminate among the collected samples. The SNP markers grouped the cultivars into five genotypic clusters with seven distinct genotypic identities. Clustering analysis revealed inconsistencies between the farmers’ identification and the molecular classification. ‘Sweet Charlie’ samples were assigned to four genotypic clusters and ‘Strawberry Festival’ samples were grouped into three separate clusters. There is a high probability that cultivar misidentification has indeed occurred.
