Bell pepper (Capsicum annum L.) is an important crop in the southeast U.S. and it is not clear how it is affected by inoculants. The objective was to determine effects of soil microbial inoculants on bell pepper plant growth and fruit yield. The experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm, University of Georgia, Tifton, GA, in the spring of 2016 and 2017. Bell pepper “2815” plants were drip-irrigated and grown on black plastic mulch. Treatments were (a) water and (b) a commercial soil microbial inoculant (consortium of 10 bacteria species). In both years, plant growth (stem diameter, plant height, and plant weight), leaf chlorophyll, leaf gas exchange, fruit yields, and fruit sunscald were unaffected by soil microbial inoculant. Southern blight (Sclerotium rolfsii) was only detected in 2016 and its incidence was not affected by microbial inoculant. Use of microbial inoculant had no major effects on bell pepper plant growth and fruit yield, fruit sunscald, and southern blight incidence.","PeriodicalId":40028,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Vegetable Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47605853","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}

Inheritance pattern of fruit color and shape and the nature of gene action for quantitative traits at physiological maturity were studied in six genetic populations (P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1P1, BC2P2) generated from four crosses involving parents bearing different fruit color and shape. Duplicate recessive epistasis gene action was involved in the expression of fruit color in Red × Yellow cross. The segregation pattern of the crosses Red × Purple and Red × White indicated involvement of dominant and recessive epistasis, respectively. Fruit shape segregation of the cross Blocky × Elongate indicated recessive epistasis gene interaction. The inheritance pattern indicated that fruit color and shape in bell pepper were conditioned by two genes with either dominant or recessive epistatic action. The segregation pattern of test crosses revealed involvement of two loci; there is no linkage between the genes and their two alternative alleles on both the loci. Gene action of most of the quantitative characters in the crosses ‘C/4 × 8/4ʹ and ‘C/4 × BC CAP Yellow’ indicated predominance of non-additive gene action showing duplicate epistasis. Fruit color and shape were conditioned by two genes showing either dominant or recessive epistatic action, however, these two characters were not linked. Fruit physical and chemical traits could be improved following deferred selection through advancement of promising cross-combination.","PeriodicalId":40028,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Vegetable Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44284697","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}

Discriminant score-based regression models, MLP artificial neural network (ANN) models, and regression-ANN hybrid models were used to model potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) yield. Maximum and minimum temperatures, rainfall, and relative humidity, and their indices, were used to obtain discriminant scores for each year. These discriminant scores, along with a time variable, were used as inputs and potato yield as outputs for the development of models. A hybrid model consisting of linear and non-linear components performed better than individual models if combined linearity and nonlinearity are present in the data, else the ANN models were better than regression models. The best models can be used to obtain a reliable forecast of potato yield at 6–8 weeks before harvest using meteorological data.","PeriodicalId":40028,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Vegetable Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47841046","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 experiment was conducted from October to March 2018–2019 and 2019–2020 to determine the effective dose of Mg to improve yield and quality, and assess nutrient uptake and use efficiency of tomato. Treatments were magnesium at 0 (control), 4, 8, 12, or 16 kg·ha−1. Application of 12 kg·ha−1 Mg produced the most fruit per plant (41.1), heaviest fruit (74.3 g), and greatest fruit yield (69.7 t∙ha−1). Vitamin C content in fruit was best (39.6 mg/100 g) with application of 12 kg·ha−1 Mg. The same treatment had the highest β-carotene (26.1 µg·g−1), improved fruit firmness (1.06 kilogram-force), and had better protein content (18.8%) in mature tomato fruit. Uptake of nutrients was best with 12 kg·ha−1 Mg. Recovery use efficiency of Mg was highest with 8 kg·ha−1 Mg. The best gross margin (48.6%) and benefit-cost ratio (3.11) was with 12 kg·ha−1 Mg.

However, although separated by space they are not separated by intent or reason for doing the work. The abstract, introduction and materials and methods are bound by the reason for doing the work. The abstract is to be begun with a sentence that indicates why it was important, or necessary, to do the work. This is to be a specific response to the title. That is followed by what was done and what was determined. All of which is to be summarized with a statement of why the results are important. All of this is designed to aquatint the reader on why the work was done. Often during a search the only thing that a reader will encounter is the abstract, this is all the information provided in the full manuscript reduced to 250 words or less. The abstract is a stand alone component of the manuscript that is designed to provide the relevant information to the reader. What follows in the introduction is constructed to tell the reader what is the problem and sufficient relevant background on how the problem is important. The important information that supports what is being done, or which is contrary to what is being undertaken, is to be presented. What often occurs is that the beginning of the introduction is consumed by a volcanic flow of words that detail how much of whatever is the crop is produced in the world and/or the country in which the work was undertaken and how much the crop is worth. This often has no relevance to what is described in the title. The Materials and methods absorbs the rationale for doing the work and describes how the work was done. This section supports the title without changing its meaning, or deviating from what was implied in the title and introduction. It is designed to allow the reader to repeat, or change the methods used to undertake future research. The results describe what the Materials and methods explained. Finally comes the Discussion. This section tells the reader why the results occurred and how the results are important to the body of knowledge. This section takes all that has gone before and relates them to the title and objectives without deviating from the importance of the entire content and original intent of the manuscript. This is not the time to speculate on the reason for the results unless that speculation can be supported by data or citations. From beginning to end the aim is to tell a coherent and flowing story that began with a reason to do the work and ends with the importance of the work.
