Abstract Through the annual cycle of plant growth and dormancy, winter season leads to profound metabolic changes allowing plants undergo cold acclimation. In boreal environments, conditions are changing rapidly likely cause damage commercial wild lowbush blueberry. this study, we addressed level frost hardiness determined role environmental factors nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) on hardine...

Plant-derived polyphenols have been shown to influence bone turnover and bone properties in the estrogen-depleted state. We used a crossover design in ovariectomized rats (n = 16 rats for each diet) to investigate the effect of supplementation of two doses each of blueberry, plum, grape, grape seed extract, and resveratrol on bone. We tested the aglycon and glucoside forms of genistein to quant...

Abstract Northern highbush blueberry is an important fresh market product in New Jersey where the plant was first domesticated early 20th century. Because of short period for safely and timely applying postemergence (POST) herbicides, reliance on residual herbicides that provide season-long control weeds essential growers to minimize detrimental effect weed competition berry yield quality bush ...

Blueberries are rich in antioxidants and may protect against disease. Uric acid accounts for about 50% of the antioxidant properties in humans. Elevated levels of serum uric acid (SUA) or hyperuricemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim was to determine the effect of blueberries on SUA in older adults. Participants (n = 133, 65-80 years) experiencing mild cognitive impai...

Vaccinium myrtillus Linn. is an imported fruit tree with high economic value. Currently, in Vietnam there has not been any publication on vitro propagation of the blueberry plant. This study focused V. by nodal culture. The results showed that shoot growth and proliferation were best when nodes cultured WPM medium supplemented 0.5 mg/L zeatin, 30 g/L sucrose, 10 agar, pH 5.8 (shoot height 4.24 ...

Blueberry muffin rash is a characteristic multiple bluish skin nodules associated with perinatal infection, severe and chronic anemia, and neoplastic infiltrative diseases. We present an unusually severe case of hemolytic disease of the newborn. He required exchange transfusions for several times. The complete work up led to the diagnosis of anti-Cw. The skin lesion regressed spontaneously with...

Blueberry leaf as materials, ethanol ultrasonic assisted extraction of blueberry polyphenols, concentration and solid-liquid ratio on time leaves influence the yield polyphenols were researched, orthogonal experiment to optimize technological conditions polyphenol was used. The results showed that optimal from follows, 9.06% with 4min time, 80% 1:45 (g/mL) ratio. Ultrasonic is a convenient high...
