The October 2023 Newsletter of the ISHS Division Horticulture for Development is now available for download. As a marketingspecialist, horticulture is viewed from a different lens compared to breeders, physiologists, and other horticulturalists. The best part? This is okay! We all serve a role in horticulture that requires our specializations.4 October 2023 -

The CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing system has been widely used in crop genetic improvement. To rapidly select efficient single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) in the genus watermelon, which is difficult to genetically transform, the Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated hairy root method is often used to detect efficient target sites in different Citrullus species. In this study, hairy roots were induced […]1 September 2023 -
For non-rigid porous materials like many soils and growing media, the ability to shrink during drying should be considered as it modifies the total pore volume and pore size distribution, which leads to changes in water holding capacity and air properties. Many studies have shown that the physical properties of growing media depend in part […]1 September 2023 -
Zhixian Lin is a Ph.D. candidate in the College of Biosystems Engineering and Food Science at Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. He works under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Tao Lin. His research focuses on data-driven based modeling for crop growth in plant factories. Strawberries have high consumer demand due to their palatability and nutritional benefits. […]1 September 2023 -
Rising temperatures, reduced irrigation water and the occurrence of extreme drought events are only some of the challenges that the agricultural sector is currently facing. Deficit irrigation strategies have the potential to maximise water use efficiency without compromising crop quality or yield. This research paper, presented at the IX International Cherry Symposium, examined the effects […]1 September 2023 -
Chinese cherry [Cerasus pseudocerasus (Lindl.) G.Don], is an economically important fruit crop in China. Native to China, it is precocious, of high ornamental value, with a delicious taste and rich in nutrients. With funding from the National Natural Science Foundation of China and Sichuan Provincial Youth Science and Technology Innovation Research Team, our research group […]1 September 2023 -
