“…Blueberries, like other members of the Ericaceae family, rely on their microbiomes for the protection against abiotic stresses and survival in soils that are low in nutrients. In particular, mycorrhizal symbiotic partners improve the uptake of soil nutrients, efficacy of fertilizers, and protect plants from the metal toxicity in acidic soils (Scagel, 2005;Scagel and Yang, 2005;Vega et al, 2009;Caspersen et al, 2016). Therefore, we suggest that species-and genotype-specific differences in the structure and function of rhizobiome represent an important facet in the adaptation of blueberry cultivars to soil and climate conditions.…”

“…Blueberries are a rich source of anthocyanins and other phenolic compounds, and they possess great health-promoting functions, such as anticancer properties, neuroprotective effects, alleviation of high blood pressure and antioxidant abilities (Wang et al, 2011;Casati et al, 2012;Caspersen et al, 2016;Silva et al, 2016). Anthocyanins, especially in glycosylated form, are among the major compounds in blueberry (Wang et al, 2016).…”

Summary In this study, the antioxidant activities of blueberry anthocyanin extracts from ten blueberry varieties were evaluated based on the methods of scavenging activities for DPPH radicals, ABTS radicals, hydroxyl radicals and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. Among the ten blueberry varieties, Polaris had the highest antioxidant abilities and the largest amounts of anthocyanins identified by HPLC‐MS. The protective effects of anthocyanin extracts from Polaris (AEP) against acrylamide (AA)‐induced toxicity in HepG2 cell models were also evaluated due to the neurotoxic, genotoxic and potentially carcinogenic effects of AA. The protective effects of AEP on the damage of HepG2 cells were explored from the aspects of cell viability, T‐SOD and CAT activity and MDA level. The AEP (5, 10, 20 μg mL−1) could significantly increase cell viability (P < 0.01) and inhibit AA‐induced cytotoxicity. Polaris also markedly promoted the activity of SOD, CAT and inhibited MDA level. The results showed that AEP had strong antioxidant activities, presenting high protective effects against AA‐induced cell damage in HepG2 cell models.

“…Blueberry cultivation has become important worldwide as a result of its high profitability (Bañados, 2006;Caspersen et al, 2016;Strik and Yarborough, 2005), organoleptic qualities, and benefits to human health (Ames et al, 1993;Kalt and Dufour, 1997;Peng et al, 2014;Prior et al, 1998). According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO, 2017), from 2012 to 2016, the area of blueberry cultivation worldwide increased by 34.14%, from 82,696 ha to 110,928 ha, and a production of 552,505 t was recorded, with the United States and Canada as the main producers.…”

The effect of pH and silicon (Si) in the nutrient solution on the vegetative development of 2-year-old blueberry plants (Vaccinium corymbosum L. cv. Ventura) was studied. Two independent experiments were performed on coir fiber (CF) and sand as substrates. In experiment 1, Si was applied in the nutrient solution at a dose of 0.0, 0.3, 0.6, and 1.2 mM. In experiment 2, plants were treated with nutrient solution at pH 4.00, 4.75, 5.50, and 6.25, using two sources of acidification: nitric acid and citric acid. The parameters of plant growth, foliar surface, and stem biomass were measured. With the application of 1.2 mM Si to CF, plant height registered a significant increase of 8%, and shoot dry and fresh biomass increased by 21% and 25%, respectively. The results of experiment 1 indicated that the application of Si benefits the vegetative growth of blueberry plants in CF, but no effect was observed in the sand substrate. In the results of experiment 2, the pH level of 6.25 in CF decreased the dry weight of stems and leaves by 21% and 18%, respectively. A significant increase in the pH range of 4.00 to 5.50 was recorded in both the citric acid and nitric acid treatments, but these significant effects were not found in sand. Citric acid presented a similar behavior to nitric acid, which indicates that it can be a good source of acidification in organic and ecologically friendly crops.
