“…In cranberry, fruit set is a key component of berry yield at the upright level (Eaton et al 1983) and may explain the higher weight of fruit from tipworm-injured uprights as compared with intact ones at sites HW1 and HW2. The three potential sources of assimilates that support fruit development in cranberry are: 1) current season growth of an upright, 2) 1-yr-old leaves on the same upright, and 3) leaves on adjacent uprights of the same runner (Roper and Klueh 1994).…”

Impact of Early Season Apical Meristem Injury by Gall Inducing Tipworm (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) on Reproductive and Vegetative Growth of Cranberry

2013

Larvae of cranberry tipworm, Dasineura oxycoccana Johnson, disrupt early season growth of cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Aiton) uprights or shoots by feeding on apical meristem tissue. A 2-yr field study was carried out at three different locations to determine the impact of tipworm feeding injury on the reproductive and vegetative growth of two cranberry cultivars ('Howes' and 'Stevens') in Massachusetts. In addition to tipworm-injured and intact control uprights, an artificial injury treatment simulating tipworm feeding was also included. Individual uprights of cranberry exhibited tolerance to natural (tipworm) and simulated apical meristem injury in the current growing season (fruit production) and results were corroborated by a greenhouse study. In the field study, weight of fruit was higher in tipworm-injured uprights as compared with intact control uprights at the sites with Howes. However, majority of injured uprights (tipworm and simulated) did not produce new growth from lateral buds (side-shoots) before the onset of dormancy. In the next growing season, fewer injured uprights resumed growth and produced flowers as compared with intact uprights at two of the three sites. We suggest that multiple-year studies focusing on whole plant response to tipworm herbivory will be required to determine the costs of chronic feeding injury over time.

“…Other studies have investigated the morphological components of annual cranberry yield such as fruit set, number of reproductive stems, number of flowers per reproductive stem, and mean fruit weight (Eaton and Kyte 1978;Shawa et al 1981). Additionally, some studies have suggested that cranberry may display an alternate bearing or biennial bearing tendency and that this tendency is controlled by both environmental and genotypic components (Eaton et al 1983;Elle 1996;DeVetter et al 2013). Therefore, a biennial bearing index (BBI) was calculated using the year BLUPs for TY as a measure of yield stability or an indirect measure of G:Y for each genotype.…”

“…Finally, cranberry yield stability across years has been noted to be affected by the phenomenon of biennial bearing (Eaton et al 1983;Vorsa and Johnson-Cicalese 2012;DeVetter et al 2013). Biennial bearing is a complex problem which affects the economic livelihood of commercial orchards of a variety of fruit crops from diverse taxonomies such as apples, pears, oranges, and pistachios (Jonkers 1979;Smith et al 2004;Kallsen et al 2007).…”

Development of a high-density cranberry SSR linkage map for comparative genetic analysis and trait detection

et al. 2015

Since its domestication 200 years ago, breeding of the American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) has relied on phenotypic selection because applicable resources for molecular improvement strategies such as marker-assisted selection (MAS) remain limited. To enable MAS in cranberry, the first high-density SSR linkage map with 541 markers representing all 12 cranberry chromosomes was constructed for the CNJ02-1 progeny from a cross of elite cultivars, CNJ97-105-4 and NJ98-23. The population was phenotyped for a 3-year period for total yield (TY), mean fruit weight (MFW), and biennial bearing index (BBI), and data were analyzed using mixed models and best linear unbiased predictors (BLUPs). Significant differences between genotypes were observed for all traits. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analyses using BLUPs identified four MFW QTL on three linkage groups (LGs), three TY QTL on three LGs, and one BBI QTL which colocalized with a TY QTL. Local BLAST of a cranberry nuclear genome assembly identified homologous sequences for the mapped SSRs which were then anchored to 12 pseudo-chromosomes using the linkage map information. Analyses comparing coding regions (CDS) anchored in the cranberry linkage map with grape, kiwifruit, and tomato genomes were Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (

“…Previous studies indicate that yield components are affected by diseases (Bristow and Windom, 1989), weeds (Patten and Wang, 1994a;Yas and Eaton, 1982), cultivar and geographical location (Strik et al, 1991;DeMoranville et al, 1996), as well as pollination (Shawa et al, 1981;Cane and Schiffhauer, 2003). Pollination affects the number of seeds per berry (Eaton et al, 1983), which in turn is correlated to berry size (Hall and Aalders, 1965;Eaton, 1965 could also be a source of yield components variations (Shawa et al, 1981;Birrenkott and Stang, 1990;Patten and Wang, 1994b;Brown and McNeil, 2006).…”

“…It is generally recognized that fruit set and the number of fruiting uprights are the main components of yield, but the relative importance attributed to each of these elements varies among authors (Baumann and Eaton, 1986;Eaton et al, 1983;Shawa et al, 1981;Yas and Eaton, 1982).…”
