“…Previous studies have reported a gradual decrease in the frost tolerance of the buds with the progression of phenological stages after bud burst. Investigations have shown that the tolerance of the buds to low temperatures usually follows the order of side green > green tip > open cluster > rst white > full bloom according to phenological stages (Proebsting and Mills 1978 Alhamid et al, 2018), all cultivars in our study showed the highest frost tolerance at the rst white and full bloom stage compared to other stages of development in both years. Our ndings, however, seem to con rm the preliminary observations of Kaya et al (2020) at the rst white and full bloom stages.…”

“…Sometimes, frost damage of ovary, style, and/or stamens is not noticeable from the outside of owers, although the petals and sepals continue to develop in these owers, the organ development arrests due to the damage of the pistil and the small fruits eventually drops. The rst symptom observed when examining the ower organs at the full bloom stage is a dark discoloration of the pistil, that can extend to the ovules and style (Alhamid et al, 2018;Rodrigo 2000). However, the pistil and stamen organs inside ower that need to be examined, and the fact that they are embedded with whole ower and surrounded by petals and sepals structures, have made the interior of the ower di cult to monitor both under arti cial frost conditions and during freezing in nature.…”

Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) is one of the economically important fruit crops worldwide. However, late spring frosts occurring in some years can significantly impact sweet cherry productivity through organ and tissue destruction caused by frost damage, and very little is known about frost tolerance or susceptibility of new cultivars. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) was, therefore, used to examine the exothermic characteristics (temperatures at which 50% of the flower buds were killed - mLTE values) of the flower buds belonging to members of the genus Prunus - 6 Prunus avium cultivars ('Noir de Guben', 'Bigarreau Gaucher', 'Merton Late', 'Merton Bigarreau', 'Van' and wild genotype). In the study, mLTE values of flowers of six cherry cultivars were determined at different floral bud developmental stages such as side green, green tip, open cluster, first white and full bloom under laboratory-based freeze assays for consecutive two years. The mLTE values of flower buds changed according to both different floral bud developmental stages and sweet cherry cultivars. In our findings, the mLTE values of flower buds in all cultivars generally occurred at higher temperatures in the open cluster stage, whereas the mLTE values of the flower buds in the first white stage occurred at lower temperatures, and therefore, these results are not only controversial in terms of previous frost tolerance studies, but also the first findings to be reported in literature. Considering the two-year average, the temperatures causing mLTE values for flower buds was -1.58 to -3.74°C at the side green stage, -0.94 to -3.51°C at the green tip stage, -0.41 to -1.96°C at the open cluster stage, -2.30 to -11.52°C at the first white stage and -2.37 to -9.80°C at the full bloom stage in the range of six cultivars. In laboratory-based freezing experiments, the 'Van' cultivar were least affected by low temperatures, followed by 'Bigarreau Gaucher' cultivar and wild genotype. 'Merton Late' cultivar, on the contrary, was the most sensitive cultivar to low temperatures, followed by 'Noir de Guben' and 'Merton Bigarreau'. These results can be valuable in predicting possible frost damage at different developmental stages of the flower buds in sweet cherry.

“…Nanobiotechnology-based sensors have the capacity for realtime monitoring of chemical signaling by phenotyping or agricultural devices embedded with smartphone, meteorological station, or hyperspectral imaging cameras to alleviate the environmental stress and selection of high yielder plant traits, for example, delivery of ZnO and cerium oxide NPs to protect the plant from heat and salinity (increasing potassium retention in leaf mesophyll) by scavenging reactive oxygen (Graham et al, 2016;Wu et al, 2017bWu et al, , 2018. Similarly, CuO can protect from fungal root disease in watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), and nanocrystals reduce cold damage (Alhamid et al, 2018;Borgatta et al, 2018).…”

In the current scenario, it is an urgent requirement to satisfy the nutritional demands of the rapidly growing global population. Using conventional farming, nearly one third of crops get damaged, mainly due to pest infestation, microbial attacks, natural disasters, poor soil quality, and lesser nutrient availability. More innovative technologies are immediately required to overcome these issues. In this regard, nanotechnology has contributed to the agrotechnological revolution that has imminent potential to reform the resilient agricultural system while promising food security. Therefore, nanoparticles are becoming a new-age material to transform modern agricultural practices. The variety of nanoparticle-based formulations, including nano-sized pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, fertilizers, and sensors, have been widely investigated for plant health management and soil improvement. In-depth understanding of plant and nanomaterial interactions opens new avenues toward improving crop practices through increased properties such as disease resistance, crop yield, and nutrient utilization. In this review, we highlight the critical points to address current nanotechnology-based agricultural research that could benefit productivity and food security in future.

“…its "imbalance" occurs, which manifests itself, first of all, in a decrease in plant productivity [3,4]. This tendency calls for the development of measures and methods for increasing the resistance of fruit plants [5]. One of the ways to solve this problem is to create varieties of a new generation with a high potential for resistance to different types of stress factors based on new knowledge, identified features of the implementation of the biopotential of sweet cherry, various research methods [6,7].…”

The main stress factors for sweet cherries in the Krasnodar region are: late return frosts and early exposure to frost after a warm autumn. Against the background of late return frosts, the death of the generative organs of sweet cherry was 95%, the realization of the productive potential − 3.3%; after early spring frosts, freezing of cherry fruit buds was 30%, the realization of productive potential − 47.8%. The early impact of frost after a warm autumn, the death of the generative organs of sweet cherry was 90%, the realization of the productive potential − 5.6%. Under favorable weather conditions, i.e. in the absence of any type of stress, the yield of sweet cherry varieties reached 40.5 kg/tree or 27 t/ha, and the implementation of the production potential − 57.8%. Mathematical analysis showed a high correlation (R2 = 0.97) of the yield of varieties from the abnormal temperatures in March and the degree of exposure to stress, i.e. damage to generative organs (R2 = 0.9). Domestic varieties Alaya, Sashenka and Volshebnitsa, can be recommended for creating sustainable plantations in the south of Russia.
