Biostimulants with glycine betaine or kelp extract alleviate heat stress in red raspberry (Rubus idaeus).

Biostimulants are an emerging and innovative class of products that may mitigate the adverse effects of extreme heat, but research on their efficacy in fruit crops is limited. This study addressed this knowledge gap by evaluating the performance of three biostimulants, FRUIT ARMOR™, Optysil®, and KelpXpress™ [active ingredients glycine betaine, silicon, and kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum) extract, respectively] applied to three raspberry genotypes exposed to high temperatures (T ≥ 35 °C/day) inside a glasshouse. 'Meeker' consistently maintained high chlorophyll fluorescence (F/F) and photosynthesis under control and biostimulant treatments.

There and back again; historical perspective and future directions for breeding and research studies.

The genus L. (Ericaceae) contains a wide diversity of culturally and economically important berry crop species. Consumer demand and scientific research in blueberry ( spp.

Putative Effector Genes Distinguish Two Pathogenicity Groups of f. sp. .

Fusarium wilt of spinach, caused by f. sp. , is an important disease during warm conditions in production regions with acid soils, yet little is known about what confers pathogenicity to spinach in f.
