“…Aswod Diala which was almost double the others, is likely attributed to its dark skin color. Our fig antioxidant capacity values were similar to the ones reported for cultivars and a selection of strawberries(Battino and Mezzetti, 2006), higher than the ones recently reported for peaches and plums(Wang et al, 2008), and equal to or lower than some reported for blueberry cultivars(Bremer et al, 2008).Similar results were observed in six commercial fig cultivars with different skin colors ('Brown Turkey', 'Brunswick', 'Bursa', 'Chechick', 'Kadota', and 'Mission') growing commercially under Israeli conditions (Solomon et al, 2006). Influence of genotype on antioxidant capacity has been reported in strawberries, apples, peaches, blueberries, and apricots (Bremer et al, 2008; Scalzo et al,2005; Vizzotto et al, 2007).…”

Climate is a limiting factor for cultivating blueberries in new areas in Brazil, being the commercial production restricted only to the colder and high-altitude regions of the southern states. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of low-chill requirement 'Emerald' and 'Jewel' blueberry cultivars. For that, the stages of vegetative growth, sprouting, flowering fruiting and yield were assessed. The 'Emerald' cultivar has two peaks for both flowering and fruiting, with the main harvest period occurring between August and October, while the 'Jewel' cultivar shows two peaks for budding, but only one flowering peak and only one harvest, which extends from October through January. For both cultivars, the production occurs during the off-season of the internal and external markets, resulting in higher fruit prices. Growing both cultivars is feasible in a subtropical region with no-chill incidence, thus demonstrating that these cultivars have much lower chill requirements than those referred to in the literature, and favoring, this way, the fresh fruit production during the off-season of the main producing countries in the northern hemisphere.

“…However, the absence of commercial species of blueberry from lists of tropical fruit ßy hosts may simply reßect the distribution of blueberryÑ blueberry is naturally a temperate climate crop with a cold requirement, and therefore is not normally grown in tropical and subtropical climates, or tested against tropical or subtropical tephritid fruit ßies such as the species used in our study. As commercial varieties of blueberry with low chilling requirements (e.g., southern highbush varieties) are introduced more widely to warm climates (Hummer et al 2007, Bremer et al 2008, the list of tephritid fruit ßies attacking this crop will grow.…”

Forced infestation studies were conducted to determine whether northern or southern highbush blueberries, Vaccinium corymbosum L., are hosts for the invasive tephritid fruit flies in Hawaii. Fruit were exposed to gravid female flies of Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel (oriental fruit fly), Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Mediterranean fruit fly), or Bactrocera cucurbitae Coquillet (melon fly) in screen cages outdoors for 6 h and then held on sand in the laboratory for 2 wk for pupal and adult emergence. The number of puparia, number of puparia per gram, and percentage of adult emergence on 'Bluecrop' blueberry were significantly higher for B. dorsalis and C. capitata than B. cucurbitae; B. dorsalis, C. capitata, and B. cucurbitae produced an average of 1.06, 0.60, and 0.09 pupae per g fruit and had 5.8, 54.1, and 12.7% adult emergence, respectively. 'Berkeley' blueberries produced an average of only 0.06, 0.02, and 0.0 pupae per g fruit for B. dorsalis, C. capitata, and B. cucurbitae, respectively. Similarly, six blueberry cultivars were harvested weekly for 10 wk, exposed to Bactrocera latifrons (Hendel) in cages, and held for pupal and adult emergence on either sand or artificial diet. In total, 2,677 blueberries were exposed to 2681 B. latifons and held on sand, and no pupariation or adult emergence was observed. Small numbers of B. latifrons puparia and adults emerged from the artificial diet treatment in all cultivars. Results from rearing on sand and diet indicate that blueberry is an acceptable oviposition host for B. latifrons but not an adequate developmental host. These data suggest blueberry is potentially a good host for B. dorsalis and C. capitata, and an adequate host for Bactrocera cucurbitae, but that there may be significant variation in resistance among cultivars. Blueberry seems to be a nonhost for B. latifrons.
