“…The yellow vine syndrome is most likely multifaceted (1) nutritional imbalance; (2) fertilizer management; (3) water stress; (4) herbicide usage; (5) light inhibition. Spectrometric, HPLC, and chlorophyll fluorescence assays confirmed the loss of chlorophyll content and photosynthetic activity in cranberry leaves exhibiting yellow vine syndrome [59]. Recent HPLC analysis revealed a link between the yellow vine and xanthophyll cycle.…”

The American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) contains rich antioxidants and has significant health benefits in fighting a variety of human diseases. In the past ten years, cranberry growers have reported yellow vine syndrome, which is associated with reduced photosynthetic performance, in the cranberry bogs. It has been found that the yellow vine syndrome of cranberry is associated with nutritional imbalance; it might be an issue for cranberry quality and food security as well as the crop production. This review evaluates the present state of knowledge of yellow vine syndrome, together with recent advances that are resulting from an improved mechanistic understanding and a possible solution that will be of considerable value to cranberry growers. This review also includes results from the author’s own laboratory. Water stress, nutritional imbalance, and photoinhibition are the likely reasons for producing yellow vine of cranberry. Future endeavors should be placed on the combination of genetic, biochemical, and biophysical techniques at the molecular level and plant physiology at the field and greenhouse level. This may provide specific information in order to understand the molecular details of yellow vine of cranberry as well as a tool for guiding future breeding efforts and management practices

“…Cool and wet weather conditions in 2009 were particularly conducive for stresses that lead to yellow vine syndrome (YVS) or interveinal chlorosis, for which, dichlobenil is one of the most commonly associated factors, along with water stress (Wei et al 2010;Zhang et al 2011). Some of the injury reported in the study may have been from confounding effects that caused stress to the cranberry vines, which may have contributed to the elevated injury ratings seen in certain cultivars.…”

Field studies were conducted in 2009 and 2010 on established commercial cranberry farms in southeastern Massachusetts to evaluate cranberry vine injury and yield with two rates of dichlobenil (1.8 and 2.7 kg ai ha−1) applied at various growth stages starting in mid-May. Four varieties were evaluated: ‘Ben Lear', ‘Early Black', ‘Howes', and ‘Stevens'. Ben Lear vines exhibited leaf-stress symptoms in both years, and Howes and Stevens vines had leaf symptoms in 1 yr. Data indicated that applications made during periods of flower-part development and growth (jewel through bloom) had the highest injury ratings. Growth stage affected injury ratings by variety and dichlobenil rate in 1 out of 2 yr. In all cases, leaf symptoms abated by the end of the season. No effect on yield (wt of fruit per unit area) was detected for any treatment combination on any variety in either year. Data from the present study support pursuit of future studies and can guide management decisions for dodder control to a limited extent. Longer studies are needed to fully evaluate repeated, annual applications of dichlobenil dispensed during periods of rapid growth on cranberry vine development and yield. Further work is also needed to document the practical use of delayed applications of dichlobenil for dodder management.

Response of chlorophyll d-containing cyanobacterium Acaryochloris marina to UV and visible irradiations

We have previously investigated the response mechanisms of photosystem II complexes from spinach to strong UV and visible irradiations (Wei et al J Photochem Photobiol B 104:118-125, 2011). In this work, we extend our study to the effects of strong light on the unusual cyanobacterium Acaryochloris marina, which is able to use chlorophyll d (Chl d) to harvest solar energy at a longer wavelength (740 nm). We found that ultraviolet (UV) or high level of visible and near-far red light is harmful to A. marina. Treatment with strong white light (1,200 μmol quanta m(-2) s(-1)) caused a parallel decrease in PSII oxygen evolution of intact cells and in extracted pigments Chl d, zeaxanthin, and α-carotene analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography, with severe loss after 6 h. When cells were irradiated with 700 nm of light (100 μmol quanta m(-2) s(-1)) there was also bleaching of Chl d and loss of photosynthetic activity. Interestingly, UVB radiation (138 μmol quanta m(-2) s(-1)) caused a loss of photosynthetic activity without reduction in Chl d. Excess absorption of light by Chl d (visible or 700 nm) causes a reduction in photosynthesis and loss of pigments in light harvesting and photoprotection, likely by photoinhibition and inactivation of photosystem II, while inhibition of photosynthesis by UVB radiation may occur by release of Mn ion(s) in Mn4CaO5 center in photosystem II.
