Effect of an Antitranspirant on Water Use, Growth, and Yield of Greenhouse-grown Potatoes1
Authors: Lipe William N. , Skinner John A. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Treatments of 0, 2% and 4% Folicote in water were applied to runoff at 0, 7 and 16 days after bloom (DAB) on ‘Norgold Russet’ potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) grown in the greenhouse. Folicote is a wax emulsion antitranspirant (AT) containing 60% solids. Treatments at 0, 7 and 16 DAB with 2% AT reduced water uptake by >20% for 4, 8, and 14 days respectively, following application. AT treatment at 4% reduced water uptake >40% for 10-14 days. There was no significant reduction of tuber yield even at the higher concentration.
The Potential of Breeding Fruits and Vegetables for Human Nutrition
Authors: Munger Henry M. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Stevens (4) has given a recent and thorough review of cultivar influence on nutritive value in fresh fruits and vegetables. Differences described in his paper indicate that there is great potential in breeding for nutritional value. The largest body of information is with respect to vitamins. Here it is not uncommon for one cultivar to have twice the vitamin concentration of another, and occasional differences may be much greater. Minerals and protein apparently vary to a lesser degree than vitamins, and less is known about cultivars which are consistently high or low in these nutrients. Nevertheless, there is a real potential for developing cultivars that have higher percentage composition of minerals and proteins as well as of vitamins.
Challenge for the Future: Nutritional Quality of Fruits and Vegetables
Authors: White Philip L. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The time may come when some very difficult decisions have to be made about the future of certain fruits and vegetables. Should maximum efficiency of land use become of such a high order of priority that only certain crops could represent efficient and, therefore, permissible resource utilization, society may have to decide which fruits and vegetables it wishes to retain. Thankfully, such decisions are not expected to be necessary for many generations, but, as an intellectual exercise, think about which fruits and vegetables you would be willing to forego. My son would never miss peas and I would scarcely miss eggplant.
The Influence of Training Methods, Light, and Moisture on Acid Content of Tomato Fruits1
Authors: Matthews John M. , Swingle Homer D. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Methods of training plants of tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum, Mill. (staked vs. unstaked, or pruned vs. unpruned) or growing under conditions of reduced light or moisture did not alter acid content of fruit sufficiently to cause concern with botulism poisoning from the canned product.
Influence of Chlorothalonil, Nitrogen, and Tillage Practices on Cercospora Leafspots and Rust in Southernpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp)1
Authors: Sumner Donald R. , Smittle Doyle A. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Nitrogen did not influence the severity of leafspots (Cercospora cruenta and C. canescens) or rust (Uromyces phaseoli var. vigna), but these foliage disease were more severe on southernpea plants grown in disk-harrowed treatments than in treatments deep-turned with a moldboard plow. Three applications of chlorothalonil reduced the severity of Cercospora leafspots and rust, but did not effectively control the diseases in all tests. Foliage diseases were less severe on ‘White Acre’ than on ‘Purpose Hull Pinkeye’ southernpea. ‘White Acre’ produced the most foliage in disk-harrowed treatments, and ‘Purple Hull Pinkeye’ was superior in deepturned treatments.
Water Spray as a Convenient Means of Imparting Mechanical Stimulation to Plants1
Authors: Wheeler Raymond M. , Salisbury Frank B. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Greenhouse tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Tropic) subjected to 10 seconds of gentle water spraying each day were inhibited up to 40% in plant height, compared to unsprayed controls or plants wet each day with a water mist. Manual shaking of the stems for 10 seconds each day produced reduction in stem elongation similar to the spraying. Spraying or shaking also slightly reduced fresh weights and yields.
Examination of Vegetative Organs of Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis Link, Scheid.) for Stored Wax1
Authors: Rost T. L. , Wang P. , Lambert C. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Leaves, stems, and roots of jojoba each contained equivalent amounts of petroleum ether extractable material. TLC separation of seed and vegetative organ extracts showed a leaf fraction that co-chromatographed approximately with the seed wax control. Histochemical and polarized light observations demonstrated the possible occurrence of a birefringent component (possibly a wax but not identical to seed wax) on the leaf surface but not internally in any organ.
Effects of Ancymidol Soil Drench and Time of Application of Bulb-dips on ‘Paul Richter’ Tulips1
Authors: Kincaid Susan , McDaniel Gary L. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Soil drench applications ancymidal (α-cyclopropyl-α-)p-methoxyphenol)-5-pyrimidinemethanol were more effective than bulb dips in retarding scape length and dry weight of Tulipa gesneriana L. Soil drench at 0.67 mg ai/pot was as effective as 3.33 mg in retarding scape growth. Ancymidol applications caused no change in leaf length or width, flower size or color, the date at which the tulips reached the salable stage, or the shelf-life of the flowers.
Flowering of Cyclamens as Affected by Gibberellic Acid and a Substituted Thalimide1
Authors: Parups E. V. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
A substituted thalimide (AC94377), may be superior to gibberellic acid (GA) in treatments to promote the growth and flowering of some cultivars of cyclamens (Cyclamen persicum Mill.). The undesirable elongation of flower stems and distortion of flowers caused by gibberellic acid may be avoided by use of AC94377 but there were cultivar differences in response to AC94377.
‘Salinas’ Lettuce1
Authors: Ryder Edward J. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
In the last 2 decades, 2 cultivars of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) have dominated the western U.S. lettuce industry. The first, ‘Calmar’ was released by the University of California in 1960. For several years in the mid-1960's, it was planted on nearly all the spring, summer and early fall acreage in the Salinas Valley and other coastal districts in California. It is a large, vigorous cultivar of the Great Lakes type. The second, ‘Vanguard’, was released by the USDA in 1958 and for many years has been the mainstay cultivar for early spring production in the Imperial Valley and other desert districts. Each cultivar has spawned a group of selections, a ‘Calmar’ group and a ‘Vanguard’ group, which have increased the adaptive range of the original cultivars.

Abstract
Alfred H. Krezdorn was born on April 10, 1920 in El Paso, Texas. Early years were spent in southern Texas where he graduated from Seguin High School in 1937. His BS degree with major in Horticulture was obtained at Texas A&M University in 1942. He then served in the U.S. Naval Reserve in World War II and was discharged with the rank of Lieutenant in 1946. He joined the faculty of Texas A&M University for ten years during which time he took leaves of absence to obtain the MS degree at the University of Florida in 1949 and the PhD in Horticulture from Texas A&M in 1956. He returned to Florida in 1957 as an Associate Horticulturist at the University of Florida's Citrus Experiment Station in Lake Alfred and in 1960 was appointed Head of the Department of Fruit Crops and moved to Gainesville. Administrative responsibilities were relinquished after fifteen years as Chairman when he resumed full-time research and teaching as Professor Horticulture.
Small Fruit Breeding — A Rich Heritage, A Challenging Future1
Authors: Moore J. N. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
On September 9-10, 1903, a small group of horticulturists and botanists attended a meeting in Boston, Massachusetts. The meeting, chaired by L. H. Bailey, was a result of a letter from S. A. Beach to all experiment station horticulturists and botanists in which he proposed the organization of a society for horticultural science. The purpose of the society would be to present scientific work being done in horticulture more prominently and to promote more complete scientific investigations. Among the charter members of the newly formed American Society for Horticultural Science were six men destined to achieve fame for investigations in small fruits: L. H. Bailey, S. A. Beach, C. P. Close, S. W. Fletcher, N. E. Hansen, and U. P. Hedrick.
The Breeding of Vegetable Crops: Highlights of the Past Seventy-Five Years
Authors: Whitaker Thomas W. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The period I have been asked to review has been a momentous and exciting one for Plant Breeding and Genetics. It spans the interval between the rediscovery of Mendel's classical work and the rise of molecular genetics. During this period the status of plant breeders has changed from that of a bumbling busybody, or poorman's Burbank, to that of one of the most influential and important groups of people in our Society, with the fate of hungry peoples of the world resting upon the success of their endeavors. The plant breeder's image as a factor in the world of human affairs has recently received much favorable public recognition with the initiation of the Green Revolution and the award of the Nobel Prize for Peace to Norman Borlaug.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Twenty prior lists of new vegetable varieties introduced since 1936 have been published by the American Society for Horticultural Science. The most current listing was published in 1975 and more than 500 new vegetable varieties have been introduced in the past five years. This 21st Listing includes 407 cultivars introduced within the past decade. A 22nd Listing will be published in 1981 to bring lists up to date. In view of the large numbers of new introductions appearing each year, attempts will be made to publish future listings annually in HortScience.
Increased Stomatal Resistance in Two Cultivars of Almond Sensitive to Bud Failure1
Authors: Weinbaum S. A. , Even-Chen Z. , Kester D. E. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Leaf resistance (r1) in fully exposed leaves of bud-failure (BF) sensitive subclones of 2 almond (Prunus amygdalus Batsch) cultivars was much greater than in leaves of non-BF-sensitive (normal) subclones of these cultivars. The differences in resistance were evident at ambient temperatures between 26° and 38°C, and temperatures of fully exposed leaves on BF-sensitive plants exceeded ambient temperature and averaged 5° higher than leaf temperature of normal plants. The difference between BF-sensitive and normal subclones was not apparent below 25° or above 39°. Increase in resistance preceded the development of abnormal growth patterns characteristic of the BF syndrome, and these differences may serve to identify BF sensitivity at incipient stages of the syndrome. Stress is accentuated in BF-sensitive clones between 26° and 38° because transpirational cooling is suppressed; however, the physio-chemical basis of BF sensitivity remains obscure.
Effects of Daminozide, Ethephon, and Dikegulac on Yield, Harvest Distribution, and Ripening of Blackberries1
Authors: Lipe John A. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Butanedioic acid mono-(2,2-dimethylhydrazide) (daminozide) applied to ‘Humble’ blackberries (Rubus arvensis Bailey) 2000, 4000 and 6000 mg/liter at full bloom reduced production and delayed ripening. Daminozide applied 3-weeks after bloom did not affect production or berry size with 2000 and 4000 mg/liter, but ripening was delayed. Production was unaffected when (2-chloroethyl)phosphonic acid (ethephon) at 250 to 4000 mg/liter was applied 1 to 3 days before harvest. Sodium 2,3:4,6-di-0-isopropylidene-2-keto-L-gulonate (dikegulac) at 200 and 2000 mg/liter had no effect on production or harvest season distribution.

Seasonal Changes in the Rooting of Juvenile and Adult Pecan Cuttings1
Authors: Smith Michael W. , Chiu Hwei-jen 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Juvenile cuttings of pecan (Carya illinoensis (Wang) K. Koch) produced more roots and a larger percentage of rooted cuttings than adult cuttings when treated with a 0.5, 1, or 2% solution of indolebutyгic acid (IBA) in February, 1 or 2% IBA in June, and 0.5 or 1% IBA in August. Juvenile cuttings treated with a 1% IBA solution produced significantly more roots than treatment with 0, 0.5%, or 2% IBA when cuttings were taken during February, June, or August. The percentage of juvenile cuttings rooting was greater with February, June, and August than April, October, and December collections.
In Vitro Propagation of Mailing Merton Apple Rootstocks1,2
Authors: Snir Iona , Erez Amnon 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Rapid propagation of the apple rootstocks Mailing Merton (MM) 104, MM 106 and MM 109 (Malus sp.) achieved was by shoot tip proliferation using a Murashige and Skoog basal medium with 1 mg/liter 6-benzylamino purine (BA) and 1 mg/liter indolebutyric acid (IBA). Improved proliferation was achieved by using a liquid medium. Two media were selected for rooting: the first contained IBA for root initiation and the second was without IBA but plus 0.25% activated charcoal for improved root development. Plantiets were successfully transferred to soil.

Abstract
Shoot tips, 1.5 cm long, of Gypsophila paniculata (baby’s breath), were proliferated on modified Murashige and Skoog salts, 30 g/liter sucrose, 7 g/liter agar, 0.4 mg/liter thiamine-hydrochloric acid (thiamine·HCL), 100 mg/liter myo-inositol with 0.05 mg/liter napthalene-acetic acid (NAA) plus 1.0 mg/liter 6-benzylamino purine (BA). Cultured shoots rooted on White’s medium after treatment of bases with NAA or indolebutyric acid (IBA).
In Vitro Propagation of Narcissus1
Authors: Hosoki Takashi , Asahira Tadashi 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Tazetta narcissus ‘Geranium’ and large-cupped ‘Fortune’ were propagated from tissue cultures. Cultures of young flower stalks of ‘Geranium’ produced many adventitious buds on a culture medium supplemented with 5mg/liter 6-benzylamino purine (BA) plus 1mg/liter naphtaleneacetic acid. (NAA). Ovaries, leaves, and disks also produced adventitious buds although the number of buds was smaller. When the elongating shoots were transferred to a culture medium supplemented with 0.1mg/liter NAA alone, they formed bulbs with roots. These plantlets were successfully established in vermiculite in pots 4 months after explanting.
In Vitro Propagation of Bromeliads in Liquid Culture1
Authors: Hosoki Takashi , Asahira Tadashi 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
In vitro propagation of bromeliads (Quesnelia quesneliana (Brongn.) L. B. Sm., Vriesea poelmannii Lindl., Aechmea fasciata (Lindl.) Baker and Guzamania spp.) was achieved using lateral bud culture. Liquid medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/liter 6-benzylamino purine (BA) and 1.0 mg/liter naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) was optimum for adventitious bud induction. Recultured young leaves produced many adventitious buds from the basal parts. Shoots obtained by this method rooted easily in 0.1 mg/liter NAA solid medium and were successfully established in pots.
Gamma Irradiation and in Vitro Induced Separation of Chimeral Genotypes in Carnation1
Authors: Johnson Richard T. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Gamma irradiation of rooted cuttings of carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) produced non-chimeral shoots regenerated from each genotypic layer of periclinal chimera cultivars. Analysis of plants derived from meristem culture and macerated shoot tip culture indicated that chimeral separation could be achieved. Gamma irradiation was mutagenic.
Influence of Rate and Placement of Slow-release Fertilizer on Pot Plants of African Violet Grown with Capillary Mat Watering1
Authors: Payne R. N. , Marie Adam Shivaun 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Ballet African violets (Saintpaulia ionantha Wend. cvs. Ulli and Lisa) were grown in a peat-vermiculite-perlite mix using capillary mat subirrigation in the summer and winter. Rates of 0.9, 1.8, 2.7, and 3.6 kg of Osmocote 14-14-14 (14N-6.1P-11.6K) per m3 of growing medium were either top-dressed, incorporated, or placed in the bottom of the pot. In the summer, maximum dry weight of ‘Lisa’ was produced at the 3.6 kg/m3 rate and for ‘Ulli’ at the 2.7 kg/m3 rate (over all fertilizer placement methods). In winter, the 2.7 kg/m3 rate produced greatest dry weight in both cultivars. Placement method was significant for ‘Lisa’ dry weight and plant quality in summer, with top-dressing or incorporation generally being better than bottom-of-pot placement. Placement method was not significant for ‘Ulli’ in summer or winter for dry weight or quality.

Effect of Soaking Treatment on the Color and Texture of Dry Quick Cooking Southernpeas1
Authors: Smith Durward A. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Processing variables including soaking medium, soaking temperature and soak time were examined in the production of quick cooking southernpeas (Vigna unguiculata (1.) Walp. ov. Freezegreen). The partially hydrated peas were cooked by microwave, and freeze dried before being rehydrated and examined for color, texture, and seedcoat integrity. Rapid low temperature vacuum infusion of soaking water produced a uniform product with good seedcoat integrity. The use of certain phosphates in the soaking medium resulted in very good retention of the green color.

Wound-induced Ethylene Production in Peel Expiants of ‘Valencia’ Orange Fruit1, 2
Authors: Evensen Kathleen B. , Bausher Michael G. , Hilton Biggs R. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The effect of wounding and abscission-accelerating compounds on ethylene production in ‘Valencia’ orange (Citrus sinesis (L.) Osb.) was studied using enclosed peel explants. Three peel disks, 10 mm in diameter, produced a maximum of about 5.5 nl hour ethylene during the second day after excision from the fruit. Higher rates of ethylene production were observed in albedo than in flavedo tissue from 30 to 72 hours after excision. Treatment with the abscission accelerant 5-chloro-3-methyl-4-nitro-l H-pyrazole (Release) more than doubled ethylene production, an effect which was prevented by cordycepin. Inhibition of ethylene production by rhizobitoxine and cycloheximide indicated that ethylene production induced by either physical or chemical wounding in citrus peel proceeds from methionine and has requirements similar to those of other tissues.
