“…Temperature affects both vegetative and reproductive organs in mango; exhibiting an inverse relationship with inflorescence size (Dambreville et al 2013 ), and positively correlated with leaf size, number of growth flushes and leaves per flush (Whiley 1989 ). Extremely high temperature desiccates pollen, accelerates the rate of panicle and flower development, shortens flowering duration, lifespan and days for effective pollination, thereby adversely affecting productivity (Shu 1999 ; Nath et al 2018 ). High soil surface temperature increases incidences of spongy tissue in the Alphonso variety cultivated in Konkan region, India, and can be controlled by adopting management practices such as sod culture which moderates soil temperature (Nath et al 2018 ; Katrodia and Sheth 1989 ).…”

Pacific Island Countries (PICs) are the center of origin and diversity for several root, fruit and nut crops, which are indispensable for food security, rural livelihoods, and cultural identity of local communities. However, declining genetic diversity of traditional food crops and high vulnerability to climate change are major impediments for maintaining agricultural productivity. Limited initiatives to achieve food self-sufficiency and utilization of Plant Genetic Resources (PGR) for enhancing resilience of agro-ecosystems are other serious constraints. This review focuses on the visible and anticipated impacts of climate ge, on major food and tree crops in agriculture and agroforestry systems in the PICs. We argue that crop improvement through plant breeding is a viable strategy to enhance food security and climatic resilience in the region. The exploitation of adaptive traits: abiotic and biotic stress tolerance, yield and nutritional efficiency, is imperative in a world threatened by climatic extremes. However, the insular constraints of Fiji and other small PICs are major limitations for the utilization of PGR through high throughput techniques which are also cost prohibitive. Crop Improvement programs should instead focus on the identification, conservation, documentation and dissemination of information on unique landraces, community seed banks, introduction of new resistant genotypes, and sustaining and enhancing allelic diversity.

“…It is the only species in the Bromeliaceae family that is cultivated commercially. In this regard, pineapple represents the third most important tropical fruit worldwide, in terms of production, after banana and mango (1)(2)(3). At present, pineapple is grown on more than one million hectares, with most of the harvested fruit destined for the fresh produce market in Europe and North America.…”

Pineapple is an economically important tropical fruit crop, but the lack of adequate planting material limits its productivity. A range of micropropagation protocols has been developed over the years to address this shortfall. Still, the final stage of micropropagation, i.e. acclimatisation, remains a challenge as pineapple plantlets grow very slowly. Several studies have been conducted focusing on this phase and attempting to improve plantlet growth and establishment, which requires tools for the non-destructive evaluation of growth during acclimatisation. This report describes the use of semi-automated and automated image analysis to quantify canopy growth of pineapple plantlets, during five months of acclimatisation. The canopy area progressively increased during acclimatisation, particularly after 90 days. Regression analyses were performed to determine the relationships between the automated image analysis and morphological indicators of growth. The mathematical relationships between estimations of the canopy area and the fresh and dry weights of intact plantlets, middle-aged leaves (D leaves) and roots showed determination coefficients (R2) between 0.84 and 0.92. We propose an appropriate tool for the simple, objective and non-destructive evaluation of pineapple plantlets growth, which can be generally applied for plant phenotyping, to reduce costs and develop streamlined pipelines for the assessment of plant growth.

“…Considering their commercial importance, pineapples are some of the most valuable tropical fruits (CHEN et al, 2019;NATH et al, 2019), grown in more than 10 6 hectares worldwide, with a production of about 24.8 x 10 6 metric tons of fruit per year, and generating a gross market value of almost 9 x 10 9 US$ (FAOSTAT, 2015; MING et al, 2015; WALI, 2019). However, different stressful conditions, both biotic and abioticsuch as, for example, microbial pathogens and sunburnare increasingly threatening pineapple production.…”

Conservation of pineapple (Ananas comosus L. Merr.) genetic resourcesincluding cryopreservation in liquid N2 at-196°Cis essential for future breeding programmes to develop new varieties with improved agronomic performance. However, the potentially deleterious effects of cryopreservation on subsequent plant regrowth should be evaluated before large-scale development of cryobanks is implemented. This paper describes the histological analysis of pineapple plantlets regenerated from cryopreserved shoot tips. Two controls were included in the study: i) conventional micropropagation-derived plantlets, and ii) plants from shoot tips subjected to pre-cryostorage conditioning treatments but never exposed to liquid N2. Histological studies of roots, leaves and stems were conducted after 45 days of hardening. No statistically significant differences with the controls were observed in any of the histological parameters evaluated, which supports the practical value of cryopreservation of pineapple germplasm.
