  • Blueberry Scorch Virus Identification
    Blueberry Scorch Virus A BC Small-Scale Farmer’s IPM Guide- Guide series, March 2021 Blueberry scorch is an aphid-vectored virus that is spread through and between fields by winged aphids. Infected plants will generally become symptomatic the year after infection, and die within two to three years. Plants may appear healthy in the spring each year, but symptoms usually start to show during bloom. Different varieties manifest different symptoms, with Bluecrop having the least obvious symptoms. This manual contains integrated pest management (IPM) guidelines geared towards small-scale production, but they are applicable to any operation wanting to improve pest identification, monitoring and management. Identification Description of symptoms • Blossoms and leaves wilt and then turn brown/orange/black. • Stems around wilted areas initially remain green (contrary to bacterial stem blight), but some blueberry varieties will show dark stem blighting. • Some leaves will yellow around leaf margins. • Symptoms may only appear on one or two branches even though the whole bush is still infected with virus. • Some infected bushes may not show any of the wilting/blighting symptoms. They may only appear off- colour or have fewer flower clusters than neighbouring healthy bushes – this is more common in Bluecrop. Scorch vs shock virus • Visual scorch virus symptoms are almost identical to shock virus, which is vectored by pollen. A lab test is required to differentiate between these two viruses. • Scorch virus will eventually kill the plants, whereas plants will recover from shock virus. Blueberry Scorch Virus IPM Guide 1 The vector - aphids • Aphids can be many colours, including black, green, orange, and brown.

Zawia DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2013 ABSTRACT Growing evidence from many in vitro studies suggest that plants produce secondary metabolites which may have potential physiological properties. The northern highbush blueberry ( Vaccinium corymbosum L.) plant is commercially cultivated for its valuable dark-blue fruit, which has been extensively researched and has been shown to contain phenolic compounds recognized to have positive health benefits. Thus, an evaluation of other parts of the plant, that as of yet have not been investigated, could be worthwhile.

  • ABSTRACT BIAN, YANG. Genetic Diversity And
    ABSTRACT BIAN, YANG. Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Cultivated Blueberries (Vaccinium section Cyanococcus spp.). (Under the direction of Dr. Allan Brown). Blueberry (Vaccinium section Cyanococcus spp.) is an important small fruit crop native to North America with an incredible amount of genetic diversity that has yet to be efficiently characterized. Through broad natural and directed hybridization, the primary and secondary genepools currently utilized includes several distinct species and species hybrids in the section Cyanococcus. To date, only a limited number of cultivated blueberries have been assessed for genetic diversity in individual taxonomic groups using a limited number of molecular markers. A source of genomic SSRs is currently available through the generation and assembly of a draft genomic sequence of diploid V. corymbosum (‘W8520’). This genomic resource allows for a genome-wide survey of SSRs and the large scale development of molecular markers for blueberry genetic diversity studies and beyond. Of ~ 358 Mb genomic sequence surveyed, a total number of 43,594 SSRs were identified in 7,609 SSR-containing scaffolds (~ 122 counts per Mb). Dinucleotide repeats appeared the most abundant repeat types in all genomic regions except the predicted gene coding sequences (CDS). SSRs were most frequent and longest in 5’ untranslated region (5’ UTR), followed by 3’ UTR, while CDS contained the least frequent and shortest SSRs on average. AG/CT and AAG/CTT motifs were most frequent while CG/CG and CCG/CGG motifs were the least frequent for dinucleotide and trinucleotide motifs, respectively, in transcribed DNA. AAT/ATT motif was the most frequent trinucleotide motif in the nontranscribed DNA.

  • Vaccinium Virgatum 'Premier'
    Next generation sequencing of rabbiteye blueberry (Vaccinium virgatum ‘Premier’) and transcriptome comparisons to blueberry genomic resources Tim Rinehart 810 Highway 26 West [email protected] USDA-ARS, Southern Horticultural Laboratory Poplarville, MS 39470 228-224-2666 Abstract Tissues that were collected from Vaccinium virgatum ‘Premier’ for transcriptome analyses. Vaccinium virgatum (syn V. ashei) is commonly known as rabbiteye blueberry and native to the Southeastern United States. Cultivars are typically grown from North Carolina south to Florida and west to Texas for commercial blueberry production. In the Southeast, plants exhibit superior environmental tolerance and have fewer disease and insect concerns that highbush varieties (Vaccinium corymbosum), although some southern highbush (Vaccinium corymbosum x Vaccinium darrowii ) include V. virgatum in their genetic backgrounds. Extensive genomic work has been done on V. corymbosum, both diploid and tetraploid, but not much has been done with V. virgatum, which is hexaploid. Our study included five V. virgatum cultivars; TifBlue, Climax, PowderBlue, Austin, and Premier. Tissues were collected and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen from clonally propagated plants for each cultivar at multiple developmental stages including buds, berries, leaves, and roots. Tissue was also collected from root and leaves roots during drought treatments. First sequencing results were produced for several growth stages of ‘Premier’ using Nextera Total RNA kit and Illumina MiSeq instruments. Transcriptomes were compared to existing genomic resources for highbush.

  • Reproductive Biology of Wild Blueberry (Vaccinium Angustifolium Aiton)
    agriculture Article Reproductive Biology of Wild Blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium Aiton) Frank Drummond School of Biology and Ecology, University of Maine, Orono, ME 04469, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-(207)-581-2989 Received: 7 March 2019; Accepted: 25 March 2019; Published: 30 March 2019 Abstract: Wild blueberry, Vaccinium angustifolium Aiton, is a native forest understory plant that is managed as a fruit crop. Over the past 51 years, experiments have been conducted to investigate its reproduction. A model was developed that predicts bloom to begin at 100◦ days (base 4.4 ◦C) after 1 April and to end at 500◦ days for a period of three to four weeks. Flower stigmas are only receptive to pollen deposition for eight to 10 days, and the rate of fruit set declines rapidly after four days. Placement of pollen upon receptive stigmas suggests that fruit set occurs with as little as a single pollen tetrad. Twelve tetrads result in 50% fruit set. Several years of exploratory fruit set field experiments show viable seeds per berry, which result from pollination with compatible genotype pollen, is associated with larger berry mass (g). Decomposition of the total variance in fruit set shows that stem variation explains 65% to 79% of total variance in the fruit set. To a lesser extent, the field, year, and clone also explain the percent fruit set variation. Variation between stems may be due to variation in the number of flowers. Fruit set tends to decrease as the flower density increases, possibly due to the limitation of pollinators. Keywords: hand pollination; stigma viability; phenology; fruit set; bloom prediction 1.
