Growing conditions in Michigan can threaten the yield and acceptable fruit quality of `Chardonnay' grapevines. Three grapevine training systems, mid-wire cordon (MWC), umbrella kniffin (UK), and a combination of the two (MWC-UK) were evaluated under Michigan growing conditions to determine their influence on yield, fruit quality, cluster compactness, incidence and severity of Botrytis bunch rot, and trellis fill. Vines were grown on C3309 rootstock and pruned to 44 nodes per kilogram of cane prunings. The MWC-UK treatment had an additional 30 nodes per vine retained, and the crop level on these nodes was removed after fruitset. Over a 2-year period, UK and MWC-UK trained vines had fruit soluble solids about 1 °Brix higher and yields were 48% and 63% higher than MWC trained vines, respectively. MWC-UK trained vines consistently out-performed MWC trained vines for all variables measured, while UK-trained vines provided an intermediate response.

AbstractFruit quality attributes are influenced by environmental, agronomic and genetic factors; both cultivars and growing conditions can vary substantially between UK production and imported fruit. This study aimed to record and dissect the most relevant fruit quality traits for berries imported into the UK in the winter months. Blackberry, blueberry, raspberry and strawberry fruit were imported from 11 countries into a Kent-based packhouse (UK) or purchased from major retailers between December 2018 and March 2019. Multiple fruit quality components were assessed for relative contribution towards a high “overall assessment” fruit quality score. It was found that strawberry and blackberry overall scores were affected by sweetness perception, whereas blueberry and raspberry organoleptics are more complex, with overall scores influenced by flavor perception. Multiple raspberry and strawberry fruit quality traits were found to be associated with genotypic differences, indicating a promising potential for genetic improvement through breeding. By contrast, the study findings suggest that there is less potential for genetic improvement in blueberry, and that the environment may have a large effect on blueberry fruit quality traits.

Three vine management systems were evaluated on `Chardonnay' grapevines under Michigan growing conditions for five growing seasons to determine their influence on yield, fruit quality, cluster compactness, and the incidence and severity of fruit rot. These systems used mid-wire cordon (MWC) vine training, Umbrella Kniffin (UK) vine training, and a combination of those (UK/MWC). Over four growing seasons the UK and UK/MWC treatments had higher fruit soluble solids and higher yields than the MWC treatment. These higher yields were attributed to higher yields per node and the ability to retain more live nodes per vine than was possible with the MWC treatment. The UK and UK/MWC treatments also had less fruit rot than the MWC treatment in some years, which was related to reduced compactness of clusters. The UK and UK/MWC treatments produced greater numbers of mature canes per vine than the MWC treatment, and the locations of the canes allowed full cropping the season following an extremely cold winter.

Citrus is the most economically important fruit crop in the world. In citrus, the concept of fruit quality comprises several other aspects intimately related to human health apart from physical attributes and diet components. Citrus is an excellent model to study fruit quality because of its peculiar fruiting, singular biochemistry and economical relevance. A citrus breeding programme starts with the selection of suitable parents and the planning of controlled crosses. Information on the breeding value of available parents and the heritability of specific characters is important in a plant breeding programme to aid the breeder in parent selection and the planning of controlled crosses. Major goals of variety breeding in citrus are mostly related to fruit quality, productivity and harvesting period. In a broad sense, citrus fruit quality includes many physical attributes like fruit color, fruit size, easy of peeling and seedlessness. These traits have become paramount in commercial citrus types and new cultivar being developed through plant breeding and selection of new sports. This paper focus on four main citrus characteristics that responsible for fruit quality and are the basis for judging the product acceptability by consumers. We also discuss the variety strategy for citrus quality improvement.
