Blueberry Fruit Development and Splitting
<p>Rain-related splitting of blueberry fruit is a problem facing growers in the southeastern United States and causes an estimated profit loss of up to 20% ($300- $500 per acre). Studies of this phenomenon in other thin-skinned, soft, fleshy fruit showed that no single or set of related …

Effect of blueberry polyphenols on osteoclast
… of this study was to assess the effect of blueberry polyphenols as a whole on osteoclasts by assessing markers for activity and differentiation. RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cells were cultured, differentiated into osteoclasts and treated with varying blueberry polyphenols doses. Levels of …

Bioavailability of blueberry-derived phenolic acid metabolites and their activity in endothelial cells
Intake of blueberry polyphenols is believed to promote good cardiovascular health by preventing endothelial dysfunction. However, ingested polyphenols have limited bioavailability and their phenolic metabolites may be the active components in modulating their vascular bioactivity. Phenolic acids …

Efficacy of Nest Boxes for Wild Bumblebees as a Supplemental Pollination Strategy in Highbush Blueberry
Commercial highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L) growers use managed honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies as the primary pollination strategy, yet in many respects wild bumblebee species (Bombus spp. L) are better suited. Studies on the use of nest boxes to augment wild bumblebee populations …
