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}

The commercial watermelon hybrid NS-295 was used as a scion for grafting onto these rootstocks. Significant differences were observed among the grafted entries and checks in terms of disease incidence (PDI). Among agronomic traits, grafting significantly affected plant growth, earliness and yield in a desirable direction. The grafted scion onto the hybrid rootstocks and BG-95 could maintain its oblong fruit shape compared to those onto IIHR-82 and BIL-53, whereas BG-77-6-1 produced spherical fruits. Quality traits showed an improvement in terms of total soluble solids (TSS), flesh colour, total carotenoids and lycopene content among the grafted entries as compared to non-grafted controls.

The unprecedented advances in whole-genome sequencing and omics technologies have significantly improved our knowledge of orchid biology, leading to translational success in the production of exotic varieties. With the emerging investigations into the cultivation and global trade popularity of orchids in the present era, this thematic article provides comprehensive insights into the existing and emerging trends in orchid cultivation, diverse ethnomedicinal uses, and multi-faceted applications, and the need for the legalisation of orchids for conservation and trade in the present era. In this way, advances in breeding and molecular approaches aim to significantly improve orchid cultivation and its socio-economic attributes.

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. The molecular markers developed in this study could assist in future cultivar verification efforts, germplasm management, and breeding programmes.","PeriodicalId":22704,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology","volume":"9 1","pages":"495 - 507"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84452509","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}

Highest shoot regeneration percentages of 89.1% and 81.3% for BAP and TDZ containing media, respectively, were achieved in the line ’Jimmy’s pride’ with the maximum shoot number obtained on BAP. The regeneration percentages for three further lines were lower than 50%. Furthermore, the effect of different light qualities, applied using LEDs, and compared to fluorescent lamps was investigated. Shoot regeneration percentages did not improve significantly under the different LEDs, instead a pronounced effect on the regeneration efficiency of the culture temperature was observed which differed among the light treatments.

Piperonylic acid restricted mycelial and lesion growth in strawberry crowns, whereas p-CA enhanced crown rot susceptibility by regulating the accumulation of total phenols, flavonoids, and lignin. The total phenol content induced by PiA significantly increased in strawberries infected with Colletotrichum siamense by promoting the activities of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, but not trans-cinnamate 4-monooxygenase and 4-coumarate-CoA ligase. Lignin contents were relatively stable in strawberries infected with C. siamense, whereas the caffeoyl coenzyme A methyltransferase and cinnamoyl CoA reductase activities associated with lignin biosynthesis were upregulated by PiA. The infection of C. siamense increased flavonoid contents, whereas PiA decreased flavonoid contents. Overall, PiA enhanced C. siamense crown rot resistance via the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis of total phenols and was less associated with the biosynthesis of lignin and flavonoids.","PeriodicalId":22704,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology","volume":"5 1","pages":"540 - 550"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78512975","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}

VOZ genes in tomato have not been analysed comprehensively so far. In this study, two SIVOZs were identified on a genome-wide scale in tomato and analysed using various bioinformatics methods. According to Ka/Ks ratio, SlVOZ proteins are being changed by evolutionary processes to adapt to changing growth and stress conditions. Protein structure and phylogenetic analyses also indicated that transcriptional regulations of SlVOZs were controlled in a specific manner related to developmental stages and abiotic stress conditions. Digital expression results, in particular, showed that SlVOZs are not only active during different growth status of tomato but are also involved in abiotic stress response mechanism. Nonetheless, SlVOZ1 is expressed higher in both developmental stages and under salt stress conditions, confirmed by RT-qPCR. The co-expression maps constructed using RNA-seq data showed that SlVOZ2 was associated with the genes involved in hormonal regulation, formation of fruit shape, secondary wall biosynthesis and in plant development. Overall, it can be concluded that SlVOZs are not only important for plant growth and development but may also be part of the salt stress response mechanism.","PeriodicalId":22704,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology","volume":"24 1","pages":"468 - 482"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77316185","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 first factor included four saline irrigation water levels viz. 0.0, 20, 40, and 60 mM sodium chloride (NaCl), while the second factor involved foliar application with 0.1 µM BRs or 30 mM Pro or distilled water as control. The results revealed that saline irrigation water reduced chlorophyll, membrane stability, relative water content, and yield. Exogenous BRs or Pro alleviated salt stress by reducing uptake and translocation of Na+ and Cl− while enhancing plant K+ assimilation. Increased water status, chlorophyll content, and antioxidant enzyme activity (SOD, POD, CAT) in leaves of snap beans may contribute to improved salt tolerance.
