New paper published on terpenes in grape. This study indicates that free monoterpenoid biosynthesis during ripening is uncoupled from hexose accumulation and is strongly regulated by solar radiation. DOI: 10.1016/j.plaphy.2024.109212 www-sciencedirect-com.proxy1…

The @ishs_hort XIII International Vaccinium Symposium was organized wonderfully across Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. I saw my first lowbush blueberry fields, which are beautiful as they begin to change color in the fall!

Thanks to Scott Lukas @OregonStateExt for inviting me to talk about @gasdick_michael’s work on β€œdelayed harvest” in blueberry at the OSU Blueberry Field Day. I learned about some tech advances for the industry, and tasted a lot of berries from OSU’s breeding program. Fun day!

Getting ready to begin a trial for our USDA SCRI-funded BLUE-Dynamo blueberry fruit rot project with @Tmiles_MSU and @jingweimo89. I wish growing blueberries outdoors was this easy, those are big berries!

We looked through 160 studies on CT in grape to understand the best timing and severity to maximize fruit quality. The verdict...CT does not generally improve fruit quality to a level worth sacrificing 1/3 to 1/2 of yield. We also notice cultivar-specific responses to CT.

My editorial journey for a fruit science #journal has been rewarding in many ways. One output I'm quite happy about is this editorial review article published along with my colleague. New Directions for Strawberry Research in the 2020s tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…. #vtberrybites
