Sustaining the fourfold increase in blueberry (Vaccinium sp.) production witnessed during
the previous two decades requires better understanding of its mineral nutrient physiology …

The contributions of the cuticle and stem scar to blueberry water loss were evaluated in four
cultivars. Among the cultivars, 55–69% of the water loss occurred through the cuticle …

Abstract Vaccinium darrowii Camp (2n= 2x= 24) is a native North American blueberry
species and an important source of traits such as low chill requirement in commercial …

(1) Background: Chayote [Sechium edule Jacq.(Sw.)] is a non-traditional export product;
recently, demand has increased due to its nutritional and functional properties. There is a …

In fruits, cuticular waxes affect fruit quality traits such as surface color at harvest and water
loss during postharvest storage. This study investigated the transcriptional regulation of …

Blueberry fruit are highly prone to deterioration, especially during storage. Calcium (Ca) can
influence fruit quality of many fruit crops since it is an important mediating agent in the …

Highbush blueberries require proper agronomic management in order to produce high
quality fruits. Calcium (Ca) has been applied in many fruit crops due to its well-established …

Mulch is widely used in blueberry cultivation for weed control; however, there is still
uncertainty as to how the use of different types of mulch alters leaf photosynthetic behavior …

Key message Basic comparative information was generated on phenotypic diversity of two
important pear species (Pyrus glabra and P. syriaca) and superior genotypes were selected …

Foliar calcium (Ca) treatment exhibits strong potential for enhancing yield and quality in
some fruit crops. This study aimed to assess the impact of foliar application of Ca …
