Porob and Thangam M. In this issue… Horticultural Sciences ensure the nutritional security in the society. Any development in the horticultural sciences directly or indirectly makes an impact in the society. As in the earlier issues of this journal, this one also carries the reasearch articles based on the recent scientific work in different disciplines with respect to horticultural crops. This issue bears eleven Original Research Papers and two Short Communications. Curry leaf plant (Murraya koenigii) has not been given scientific importance that it deserves so far. A review on diversity and distribution of this species in India by Raghu B.R highlights the diversity, distribution, nutraceutical and medicinal values, industrial use and commercial cultivation with respect to this plant. Another review is on the groundwater depletion; how it affects the perennial horticultural crops and the policy measures needed to address the issue that has been written by Ganeshamurthy et al. Fruit production has seen tremendous increase in last five years in India. To achieve the more crop per drop, water utilization is important. Manjunath et al. report that it is sufficient to irrigate papaya to meet only 30 per cent of soil volume with 1.5 m x 1.5m spacing to enhance water use efficiency. Rashmi et al. used soil and plant analysis and diagnosed the micronutrient imbalance in lime and sapota orchards in tablelands of Chambal Ravine region of India. Identifying the deficiencies of micronutrients timely and application of balanced fertilizers at correct time can enhance crop production and quality of fruits. Studies on fruit development in wax apple Syzygium samarangense (pink and white types) by Priya Devi et al. indicated that the fruit development followed a sigmoid growth pattern with peak in growth rate between 21 and 28 days after anthesis for fruit weight. Vegetable crop improvement is a priority area of research. Jessymol et al. validated the usefulness of two DNA markers genetically linked to S-Cytoplasm and restoration-of-fertility (Rf) loci in hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) and found that they can be used in marker aided selection in chillies. Susmita et al. have identified lines of garden pea (Pisum sativum L.) that have high temperature tolerance that are suitable for off-season cultivation. Singh et al. studied the nature and magnitude of genetic diversity in long day onion germplasm by using the principal component analysis and single linkage cluster analysis an experiment among 34 onion genotypes and report the diversity among the onion genotypes. Similarly Thangam et al. also studied the variability and genetic divergence in vegetable cowpea germplasm in Goa and report that divergent lines can be used in selection of parents in breeding programmes. Demands of floriculture industry drives the research programmes in ornamental crops. Aswath and Rajiv Kumar have come out with two novel gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii) hybrids with good flower quality traits for polyhouse cultivation. Jadhav et al. evaluated hybrids and cultivars of J. Hortl. Sci. i Vol. 15(1) 2020 single type tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa) and found that Arka Prajwal and genotype LP14 were superior in many traits. Chandran et al. identified resistant gene analogues in rose genotype IIHR13-4 which is resistant to powdery mildew and these RGAs will be useful in mapping and characterization of R genes in rose. To obtain nutritional security carotenoid content in fruits and vegetables has to be high. Measuring carotenoid content is challenging in selection of breeding lines. Shilpa et al. validated a non- destructive method of measuring carotenoid content in cherry tomatoes correlated to the color space values L*, a*, b* that can be used in many other studies. The Editorial team of Journal of Horticultural Sciences is striving hard to do its best in reporting the recent development in horticultural sciences. The editorial team acknowledges the support and encouragement from all the members of Society for Promotion of Horticulture and subscribers of the journal. S. Sriram Editor in Chief J. Hortl.

Division of Vegetable Crops ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bangalore - 560 089. Email : [email protected] ABSTRACT Curry leaf is an aromatic tropical and sub-tropical plant originated from India. Besides its culinary purpose, curry leaf is known for its medicinal and industrial applications. Based on ethno-botanical reports and other floral distribution studies, the germplasm rich regions of curry leaf in India could be identified into six zones as Foot hills of Himalaya, North-East region, Middle India, Eastern Ghats, Western Ghats and Andaman – Nicobar Islands. With respect to color and size of leaves, habitat and flavor, the curry leaf plant is classified as brown/ gamthi, regular and dwarf morphotypes. Four genetically diverse chemotypes of curry leaves such as -pinene, -pinene, -carophyllene and -phellandrene exist in India. Due to its nutritional value, increasing export potential, less input, lower cost of cultivation, assured income, perennial nature and constant demand in local, national and international markets, the curry leaf is being cultivated on commercial scale in recent years in India. Key words: Curry leaves, Distribution, Diversity, Germplasm and Morphotypes INTRODUCTION Curry leaf (Murraya koenigii (L.) Spreng) is an Regardless of its numerous benefits and several aromatic, tropical and sub-tropical plant with several applications, curry leaf is still an unexplored and culinary, nutraceutical, medicinal, therapeutic and underutilized crop. This is evident from inadequate industrial values (Reddy et al., 2018). It is an efforts being put towards the collection, important and indispensible part of Indian cuisine characterization, conservation and efficient utilization (Verghese, 1989). The ethno-botanical use of curry of plant genetic resources (PGR) for crop leaf for medicinal purposes is known since centuries. improvement and limited area of cultivation under this Carbazole alkaloids present abundantly in curry leaves crop. However, understanding the extant of variability, have anticancer, anti-diabetic and anti-oxidant distribution pattern and identification of germplasm properties (Igara et al., 2016). The essential oils rich regions are the prerequisites in any crop extracted from curry leaf plant have several industrial improvement program. Furthermore, accelerated use applications in the manufacturing of soaps, perfumes, and augmentation of available PGR, identification of cosmetics, food processing and many others. As curry trait specific genotypes, mapping and introgression of leaf is a rich source of bio-available calcium and other economically important gene(s)/QTLs (Quantitative essential nutrients, it makes an important component Trait Loci) into well adapted and elite genetic of Indian diet and imparts several direct and indirect background are sign of more efficient and rapid health benefits to its consumers. As curry leaf is a genetic improvement program in any crop species and perennial leafy vegetable, it provides assured income so with the curry leaf. Moreover, efficient breeding to small and marginal farmers if cultivated on programmes should backup with detailed survey and commercial scale and earns considerable amount of frequent collaborative germplasm exploration trips to foreign returns through export particularly to Gulf and cover wide range of variability, followed by regular European Unions (Joseph and Peter, 1985).

Percival and Brooke Findley2 Florida ranked ninth in the nation for total cash receipts from fruit, with nearly 28% of this from field crops and other crops not including vegetables. Additionally, Florida’s top export is fruit; in 2003, Florida ranked second in the nation in fruit exports (3). Since the production of tropical fruits is an important part of the economy of the state, highlighting the nutritional benefits of these fruits enhances their marketability and appeal.

Entre ellos, las abejas constituyen un eslabón esencial en la polinización de angiospermas que durante millones de años desarrollaron estrategias cada vez más específicas para atraerlas. De esta forma se establece una relación muy fuerte entre am- bos, planta-polinizador, y cuanto mayor es la especialización, tal como sucede en un gran número de especies de orquídeas y cactáceas entre otros grupos, ésta se torna más vulnerable ante cambios ambientales naturales o producidos por el hombre. De esta forma, el estudio de este tipo de interacciones resulta cada vez más importante en vista del incremento de áreas perturbadas o modificadas de manera antrópica en las cuales la fauna y flora queda expuesta a adaptarse a las nuevas condiciones o desaparecer.

Propagation by seed is used for rootstock production and for raising populations for screening at early phases in the breeding programs. Vegetative propagation methods are used to clone selected genotypes from these programs and commercial orchards because it perpetuates all characteristics of each cultivar. This review addresses different methods that can be used to propagate guava, the methods commercially adopted and the progress obtained in recent years. There are several propagation technologies available, however, the adoption levels are rather different between producing countries. Needs for improvement on the production of guava trees will be discussed. Keywords: Psidium guajava, seeds, grafting, cutting, air layering, tissue culture. AVANÇOS NA PROPAGAÇÃO DA GOIABEIRA RESUMO - A goiabeira (Psidium guajava L.) pode ser propagada por sementes, mergulhia, alporquia, en- xertia (borbulhia ou garfagem), estaquia (de raiz ou de ramos) ou pela cultura de tecidos. A propagação por sementes é utilizada na produção de porta-enxertos e na fase inicial do melhoramento genético. Os métodos de propagação vegetativa são utilizados para clonar os genótipos selecionados nas fases mais adiantadas dos programas de melhoramento genético e nos plantios comerciais, pois perpetua todas as características das cultivares de interesse. A presente revisão bibliográfica tem por objetivo abordar os diferentes métodos que podem ser utilizados para propagar a goiabeira, os comercialmente adotados e os avanços obtidos nos últimos anos.

Perry): A Comprehensive Review in Phytochemical and Physiological Perspectives Arnia Sari Mukaromah1 1Departement of Biology, Faculty of Science and Technology, Universitas Islam Negeri Walisongo Semarang E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Wax apple (Syzygium samarangense (Blume) Merr. & L.M. Perry) is a tropical non-climacteric fruit and belongs to Myrtaceae. It has high diversity in cultivars, metabolite content, and its biological activities. In this comprehensive review, research findings had revealed that various metabolites found in the wax apple have biological activities. The said biological activities such as: antioxidant, immunomodulatory, antibacterial, anticancer, anti-glycation, anti-inflammation, anti-hypertriglyceridemic, anti-hyperglycemic, relaxant, and spasmolytic activities. Other potential use for the metabolites also includes the treatments for neurodegenerative abnormality, analgesic, and central nervous system (CNS) depression agent. Furthermore, wax apple physiological and phytochemical characteristics can be enhanced by girdling technique, hydrogen peroxide treatment, plant growth regulators treatment, and fruit bagging treatment. Meanwhile, postharvest technology of wax apple fruit utilizes nitric oxide treatment, oxalic acid treatment, cold treatment, and Aloe vera gel coating. Wax apple has also been evolved as an ointment, anti-acne cream, and nata de guava. However, environmental stress becomes a challenge in the wax apple plantation. Therefore, the development of molecular biology, chemistry, and postharvest technology will solve those challenges. This review concludes that wax apple (S. samarangense) is a tropical fruit that promises to support the nutritional values and human health.

The growth and development of this fruit is sometimes very low due to low photosynthates supply at early growth stages. Growth regulators, hydrogen peroxide and phloemic stress are important tools to improve the growth, development and quality of horticultural products. The extracts of wax fruits, flower and bark have potent free radical scavenging, antioxidation, antimutation and anticancer activities. The leaves of wax apple used as tea and is proposed as a possible supplement for type II diabetes patients. Wax apple studied for its numerous pharmacological properties such as antioxidant and antidiabetic properties, anti-inflammation and antinociceptive activity, wound healing activity, antiulcerogenic effect, antibacterial, anticancer and also it’s potential as an uterotonic agent. From this review, it can be concluded that GA3, NAA, 2,4-D, H2O2 and girdling have significant effect on fruit growth, development and yield improvement. Fruit pigmentations and anthocyanin content also significantly by using these growth promoting chemicals and girdling technique. This review paper provide detail information about wax apple fruit growth and development, origin, ecology, fruit morphology and variety, commercial usage, quality improvement and its medicinal benefits.
