Reevaluation of Heated Water Dip as a Postharvest Treatment for Controlling Surface and Decay Fungi of Muskmelon Fruits1
Authors: Carter William W. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Fruits of muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) dipped in water at 24° and at 57°C did not differ significantly in incidence of Fusarium roseum (LK) emend. Syn. & Hans. ‘Semitectum’ and Diaporthe melonis Beraha & O’Brien and stem scar and rind decay fungi. Immersion time of fruits, regardless of water or chemical treatment, had no significant effect on stem-scar decay, rind fungal growth, fusarium lesions, or general appearance. The value of hot water as a postharvest treatment of muskmelon fruits was to increase efficacy of fungicides.
Factors Regulating Germination of Trifoliate Maple Seeds1
Authors: Stimart Dennis P. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Excised embryos from Acer griseum (Franch.) Pax., A. mandshuricum Maxim., A. maximowiczianum Mig. (A. nikoense Maxim.) and A. triflorum Kom. germinated within 21 days when incubated in a lighted environment on wick cultures moistened with a solution of 10 mg/liter gibberellic acid (GA3). Cotyledon and epicotyl growth of A. maximowiczianum embryos were greatest when treated with GA3. Embryos of A. maximowiczianum incubated with 6-ben-zylamino purine (BA) or 6-furfurylamino purine (kinetin) developed the longest roots while those treated with indoleacetic acid (IAA) or naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) remained tightly coiled and dormant. Excised embryos incubated in darkness or intact seeds placed in all treatments failed to germinate. In A. maximowiczianum 3 sites of dormancy delay germination: pericarp, seed coat, and embryo.

Authors: Henny R. J. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Aphelandra sinclairiana Nees. and A. aurantiaca (Scheidw.) Lindl. ‘Roezlii’ were self-compatible, while Aphelandra squamosa Nees. ‘Dania’ was pseudo-self-compatible and occasionally yielded seed after self pollination. Attempts at producing interspecific hybrids were unsuccessful; most pollen tubes failed to traverse more than 10% of the style. Bud pollination and pollination of amputated styles were unsuccessful.

‘Chesapeake’ Viburnum1
Authors: Egolf Donald R. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Viburnum ‘Chesapeake’, which is the thirteenth Viburnum cultivar introduction from the U.S. National Arboretum shrub breeding program, has outstanding foliage and growth habit characteristics (1, 2, 3, 4). This cultivar belongs to the Section Lantana of the genus that includes such other significant landscape viburnums as V. X burkwoodii Burk. & Skip.; V. X burkwoodii ‘Mohawk’ (Egolf); V. carlesii Hemsl.; V. X carlcephalum Burk.; and V. X carlcephalum ‘Cayuga’ (Egolf). These viburnums are cultivated extensively in north temperate regions for their medium stature; subcoriaceous, deciduous to semi-evergreen leaves; and abundant, fragrant, white to pink flowers. Although ‘Chesapeake’ recombines some of the characteristics of these cultivars and species, it is distinct with coriaceous, dark green leaves; dense branching; and a compact growth habit.
Use of Honey Bees for Controlled Interpolation of Plant Germplasm Collections1
Authors: Ellis M. D. , Jackson G. S. , Skrdla W. H. , Spencer H. C. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
A method was devised to use honey bees and cages For controlled interpollinalion of numerous planl introduction accessions grown for seed increase. Honey bees (Aphismellifera L.) were maintained for 4 months (June-September) in small nuclei (min-ihive) for use in pollinating various crops grown under cages for seed increase. The nuclei remained as effective pollinating units without dwindling, swarming, overcrowding, starvation, or any of the other problems associated with extended maintenance of small pollinating nuclei. Cages used were easily assembled and stored, and were practical Tor caging large numbers of plantings for controlled pollination. Seed vields were excellent and of good quality.
In Vitro Propagation of Dracaena marginata ‘Tricolor’1
Authors: Chua B. U. , Kunisaki J. T. , Sagawa Y. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Shoots were produced in vitro from callus induced on stem expiants of Dracaena marginata ‘Tricolor’ on medium with Murashige and Skoog mineral salts, coconut water (15% by vol), supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and subcultured on medium supplemented with kinetin. Roots were obtained by subculture on medium supplemented with 1 mg/liter naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). Rooted plantlets were transferred to potting medium in the greenhouse and subsequently transplanted to the field for further observation. The leaves of all derived plants lost the creamish-white stripe and resemble those of D. marginata, indicating D. marginata ‘Tricolor’ is a chimera.
In Vitro Propagation of Pineapple1
Authors: Zepeda Cesar , Sagawa Yoneo 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) was cloned by in vitro culture of axillary buds from crowns of mature fruit. Expiants were initially placed in Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) with 25% coconut water (CW), subcultured after 2 weeks on half-strength MS with 25% CW, and finally placed on half-strength MS supplemented with 6-benzylamino purine (BA). Small crowns were disinfested after defoliation by soaking in 0.5% sodium hypochlorite (10% Clorox) with 3 drops of wetting agent (Tween 20/100 ml) for 60 minutes and excised axillary buds in 1% Clorox for about 20 minutes prior to initial culture About 5,000 plantlets can be produced in 12 months from a single crown by this technique
Gibberellin and Cell-wall Hydrolases as Related to the Low Response of ‘Valencia’ Oranges to Abscission Chemicals1
Authors: Rasmussen G. K. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
‘Valencia’ oranges (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck) with attached pedicels, harvested in April, May, and June, were exposed to 1 ppm ethylene or air for 0, 1, 3, 5, or 7 days. Ethylene lowered fruit removal force but the effect was less pronounced on fruit harvested in May than on fruit harvested in April or June. Endogenous gibberellins (GA) increased prior to regreening and development of the low-response period, and cell-wall hydrolase activity was lower in May than in April or June.
Complementary Interactions Between Weeds, Weed Control Practices, and Pests in Horticultural Cropping Systems1
Authors: William R. D. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Throughout the world, growers of horticultural crops employ a multitude of crop and pest management practices designed to reduce pests and minimize crop losses. Although weeds continue to afflict humans (65), host other pests (14), and cause appalling crop losses on a worldwide scale (66, 109, 110), certain weedy2 species may complement horticultural cropping systems. This paper reviews entomological, pathological, and crop-related literature where manipulation of a specific weed, a weed control practice, or a cropping system can suppress a crop pest. Perhaps horticulturists and colleagues will recognize an opportunity to improve our understanding and our ability to successfully manage one or more of the following examples, thereby improving production efficiencies within modern horticultural cropping systems.
Effect of Aminoethoxyvinylglycine on Bloom Delay, Fruit Maturity, and Quality of ‘Loring’ and ‘Rio Oso Gem’ Peaches
Authors: Dekazos Elias D. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Sprays of aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) to intact branches of ‘Rio Oso Gem’ and ‘Loring’ peaches [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] after completion of the rest period effectively delayed blossoming by about 10 days. AVG (5,000 and 10,000 ppm) did not reduce flowering, fruit set or fruit quality. At high concentration, AVG prevented most of the terminal buds from growing normally; the terminal shoots were short, with dense foliage. Lateral buds had a normal linear shoot growth. Foliar injury was slight. The fruit weight of treated ‘Loring’ peaches was reduced by 11.5% but color attributes, particularly flesh color, were not influenced by AVG. Bloom delay did not affect firmness, soluble solids and titratable acidity in ‘Loring’ but did increase firmness and soluble solids slightly and decrease titratable acidity in ‘Rio Oso Gem’. Overall fruit size, color, soluble solids, titratable acidity and firmness tests indicated that AVG did not delay maturity.
Simazine Herbicide Suitable for Production of Rooted Stoolshoots of MM 106 Apple Rootstocks1
Authors: Curtis O. F. , Cummins J. N. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Simazine applied to Malling-Merton (MM) 106 (Malus sp) stoolbeds at 1 kg/ha in early June + 1 kg/ha in late July had no effect on either rooting or grade of stoolshoots subsequently harvested. Application of simazine at 3 kg/ha in late July in 2 successive years reduced grades of stoolshoots, especially as percent of non-rooted shoots. The split application appeared to be suitable for commercial weed control without damage to the crop.
A New Device for Hot-callusing Graft Unions1
Authors: Lagerstedt H. B. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
There are various problems associated with hot-callusing graft unions of dormant fruit and nut trees. Since the whole plant is exposed to elevated temperatures, growth is promoted not only at the graft union, but also from the scion buds and the roots. Translocation demands are placed on the graft union once growth of scion buds starts and leafing out occurs. Scion buds and leaves will desiccate if a callus bridge between rootstocks and scion is inadequately formed (1).
Suppression of Denitrification with Nitrapyrin1
Authors: McElhannon William S. , Mills Harry A. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Inhibition of N2 and N2O evolution from a liquid medium inoculated with soil was obtained with low levels (0.2, 2, and 20 ppm) of 2-chloro-6-(trichloromethyl)pyridine. Concurrent with the reductions in N2 and N2O evolution was increased NO3 retention in the medium. Results from this study confirm that nitrapyrin effectively inhibits denitrification in vitro at rates comparable to that applied in the field.
Resistance of Sweet Potato to Virus Complex1
Authors: Hahn S. K. , Terry E. R. , Leuschner K. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
A core-graft transmission method has been used successfully for rapid screening of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam) for resistance to sweet potato virus complex (SPVD). Field test scores of resistance to SPVD were significantly correlated with core-graft test scores (r = 0.60). A high broad sense heritability estimate of 0.95 ± 0.02 for resistance to SPVD was computed based on the core-graft test for 24 cultivars tested in one year, while a lower broad sense heritability (h2 = 0.48 ± 0.02) was estimated based on the field test for the same cultivars (except one) conducted at four locations for three years. Broad sense heritability estimates from diallel crosses ranged from 0.82 ± 0.02 to 0.98 ± 0.19. ‘TIS 2498,’ ‘TIS 3228,’ ‘TIS 3053,’ ‘TIS 2544’ and ‘TIS 2534’ sweet potato were resistant to SPVD.

Abstract
Forty-five lines of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam) were rated for resistance to the sweet potato weevil in artificially infested fields at Savannah, Georgia and at Yoakum, Texas. Ten lines were resistant in Savannah, 16 lines in Yoakum, and 3 lines were resistant in both locations.
Interspecific Hybridization in Euphaseolus through Embryo Rescue1
Authors: Alvarez Marikis N. , Ascher Peter D. , Davis David W. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
About 2000 pollinations of Pbaseolus coccineus × P. acutifolius, P. coccineus × P. vulgaris, P. vulgaris × P. acutifolius, and F2 (P. vulgaris × P. coccineus) × P. acutifolius produced more than 1500 excisable embryos, about half of which elongated and produced leaves and roots when embryo cultured on a relatively simple medium in the dark. Damaging cotyledonary buds on small embryos or removing cotyledons from larger embryos before culture enhanced germination. Transplanting germinated embryos into pots resulted in greater than 50% mortality. Hybrids tended to be intermediate to parental species in vegetative and floral characteristics but percent stainable pollen was lower. Anthers did not dehisce and percent stainable pollen was lowest in P. vulgaris × P. acutifolius and F2 (P. vulgaris × P. coccineus) × P. acutifolius hybrids. Since P. coccineus × P. acutifolius and P, coccineus × P. vulgaris hybrids were sufficiently fertile to produce advanced generations, P. coccineus may be useful as a bridge between P. vulgaris and P. acutifolius.
Root Morphological Characteristics of Kidney Beans as Influenced by Within-row Spacing1
Authors: Stoffella P. J. , Sandsted R. F. , Zobel R. W. , Hymes W. L. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Root morphological characteristics of ‘Redkote’ and ‘Redkloud’ kidney bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were measured during 2 growth stages at 5, 10, 15, and 20 cm within-row spacings under field conditions. Significantly higher total root weight, shoot weight, basal root weight, and stem and hypocotyl diameters of individual plants occurred as within-row spacing increased. Uprooting resistance, taproot weight, and taproot diameter increased as within-row spacing increased up to 15 cm followed by a nonsignificant increase at 20 cm. No differences in adventitious root weight or shoot:root ratios occurred among within-row spacing treatments. ‘Redkote’ root parameters were significantly higher than those of‘Redkloud’, with the exception of adventitious root weight and uprooting resistance. Seed yields were highest for 15 cm spacing although not significantly more than at 5 cm spacing. All parameters with the exception of basal root number were significantly lower during anthesis when compared with full pod fill growth stage.

Authors: Starkey T. E. , Davis D. D. , Pell E. J. , Merrill W. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cvs. Provider and Stringless Black Valentine) were exposed to 395 µg/m3 (0.08 ppm) peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) for 0.5 hr and subjected to drought stress following exposure. PAN influenced the plant water potential of ΡAN-sensitive ‘Provider’ resulting in visible wilting and reduced soil moisture content. There was no effect of PAN on the water relations of the PAN-tolerant ‘Stringless Black Valentine’.
Calcium Movement, a Regulating Factor in the Initiation of Tomato Fruit Ripening1
Authors: Rigney C. J. , Wills R. B. H. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The endogenous levels of calcium in the cell walls of pericarp tissue of tomato (Lyco-persicon esculentum Mill.) and the soluble and bound calcium content of this tissue were examined during fruit growth and maturation. Cell wall calcium level increased during fruit development to the fully grown, immature stage, but dropped just prior to the onset of ripening. The changes in soluble and bound calcium during ontogeny indicated that calcium was solublized during the early stages of ripening.
Identification of a Gene Affecting Pedicel Orientation in Tomato1
Authors: Gardner Randolph G. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
A mutant of the tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Flora-Dade) was characterized by straight pedicels oriented in an upright position. A genetic study indicated the mutant character was controlled by a single recessive gene, which has been tentatively designated as up-right pedicel (up). The up locus is linked to the jointless pedicel (j-2) character of ‘Flora-Dade’, with a crossover distance of 8.5 units.

Authors: Jackson D. W. , Vessels K. J. , Potter D. A. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Three genetically diverse Kentucky bluegrasses (Poa pratensis L. cvs. Kenblue, Vantage, and Adelphi) and 6 other turfgrasses were evaluated for susceptibility to the greenbug, Schizaphis graminum Rondani. Nine common lawn weed species were also tested as potential alternative hosts. Heavy greenbug populations and feeding damage occurred on all 3 bluegrasses and on tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb. cv. Kentucky 31) and chewings fescue (Festuca rubra var. cummutata Guad. cv. Jamestown). Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds. cv. Penncross), bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L. cv. Midiron), perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L. cv. Derby), and zoysia grass (Zoysia japonica Steud. cv. Meyer) were not suitable hosts. No greenbugs survived on the 9 weed species tested.
Potassium Nutrition of Stocks in Bark. Peat-lite, and Soil Media1
Authors: Holmes R. L. , Coorts G. D. , Rosenfeld T. L. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Four levels of K were applied at weekly intervals to 2 plantings of Matthiola incana (L.) R. Br. grown to anthesis in 3 media. At all levels of K the plants grown in the bark medium had the greatest height, spike length, oven dry weight, and shortest time to anthesis. The optimum tested level was 100 ppm K for plants grown in both the soil mix medium and the peat-lite medium. Differences in plant performance were associated more with media than with levels of K.

Influence of Nitrogen and Phosphorus on Shoot:Root Ratio of Ilex crenata Thunb. ‘Helleri’1
Authors: Yeager T.H. , Wright R. D. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Higher N rates applied to Ilex crenata‘ Helleri’ holly liners grown in the greenhouse increased shoot growth but-decreased root growth resulting in a greater shoot:root ratio. Higher N rates reduced the time required for a shoot growth flush to occur. Ρ at 85-500 ppm had no effect on shoot or root growth. Continued growth of liners at 50 ppm N lowered the shoot:root ratio due to stimulation of root growth while 300 ppm N caused the shoot:root ratio to increase due to increased shoot growth.

Satellite Frost Forecast System
Authors: Martsolf J. David 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The color-coded thermal map of the Florida peninsula on the cover is a satellite view of the January 13, 1981 freeze, one of the two most disastrous freezes of this century. The map is a product of the Satellite Frost Forecast System (SFFS) developed by the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences of the University of Florida with support from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. SFFS acquires temperatures sensed by the GOES-EAST satellite from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) facilities in Suitland, Md., through an automated telephone link (see insert). Instructions within the mini-computer, the heart of SFFS, partition the temperature data into color bands and cause the resulting map to be displayed on a color TV screen within minutes of the reception of the satellite data. Currently, NOAA sectorizes the infrared satellite data, i.e., partitions the Florida peninsula data from that for the hemisphere, and moves it to a separate queue from which SFFS acquires it by a telephone call that requires about 3 minutes per map.

The Apple Industry in Korea1, 2
Authors: Proctor J. T. A. , Lee Jae Chang 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The word “apple” was first recorded in Korean literature in 1103 BC. After that, and up to the end of the 14th century, an apple cultivar Numgkeum (Malus asiatica Nakai) was grown in Gaeseong, the capital city. Today, Korea has an apple industry of some 46,088 ha with a production of about 444,000 MT. The spectacular increase in the Korean apple industry since the Korean War (1950-53) has paralleled the unprecedented growth rate of a newly industrialized nation. Few westerners realize this. A study of the apple industry reveals a fascinating growth story with many aspects of interest to pomologists around the world.
The Anatomy of a Study1
Authors: Urquhart N. Scott 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Formally, anatomy deals with both the actual and conceptual isolation of various parts and systems of an organism for the purpose of describing its parts, their positions, relations, structures, and functions. Although you may associate memorization with anatomy, it really serves to structure our thinking about an organism. In fact, the human mind seems to understand a complex situation or structure by first subdividing it into components, then studying each component and finally relating the components. Reflect for a minute: we do this as teachers, researchers, and students. It seems reasonable, even though perhaps not formally correct, to describe the dissection of a study into its parts, their examination, and their relations as the anatomy of a study. I plan for the following anatomy to focus your attention on general structures without particular concern for occasional difficulties and degeneracies.
