Asexual Propagation of Four Cultivars of Vaccinium Corymbosum and Weed Management in an Established Orchard of Vaccinium Corymbosum 'Bluejay' (Highbush Blueberry) in South Central Kentucky
… commercially significant cultivars of Vaccinium corymbosum, highbush blueberry, 'Jersey', 'Elliot', 'Bluecrop', and 'Bluejay'. The study was a randomized complete block design with four replications. Cuttings were taken from a producer's field in Metcalfe County and planted in a bed of pure peat …

Survival of Listeria monocytogenes on Blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum) and Shelf Life Determination under Controlled Atmosphere Storage
Listeria monocytogenes represents a high risk for consumers, because it causes severe illness. This work studied in-vitro growth and survival of L. monocytogenes in media acidified with malic acid, lactic acid or blueberry extract. The growth of L. monocytogenes and shelf life extension of fresh …

Genetic and environmental drivers of fruit composition in relation to sensory quality in blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum)
The consumption of blueberries in the UK is increasing, but currently most of the available blueberries are imported. There is therefore great potential for UK growers to supply high quality blueberries to meet the consumer preferences. At present little is known regarding specific UK consumer …

Systematics and evolutionary ecology of Osteospermum section Polygalinae DC
… fruit, is found to have originated once, in O. corymbosum. The remaining species do not appear specifically adapted for dispersal, suggesting that they are passively dispersed. Field experiments confirm that elaiosomes in O. corymbosum attract ants and facilitate rapid transport of fruits …

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 …
