    Abstract Growers have increasingly adopted protected cropping in tunnels or greenhouses to ensure sustainability and continuous crop productivity against a backdrop of climate change. The predominant types of covers used in controlled‐environment agriculture are polymer‐based shade nets or structures covered with polymer sheets. These have three main functions: (1) physical protection from birds, hail, and excessive radiation; (2) modification of the environment by controlling humidity, shade, and temperature; and (3) increasing the proportion of diffuse light. In order to address concerns regarding the amounts of useful light potentially blocked by these covers, researchers and growers have suggested several innovative solutions that involve altering the light received by plants. This includes supplementation of artificial illumination, filtering solar radiation with colored films, or altering the incident spectrum with spectral‐shifting covers containing light‐emitting fluorescent compounds embedded within a polymer matrix. In principle, any of these methods have the potential to selectively modify the spectrum of incident light and subsequently induce plant physiological responses, resulting in increased crop yield, improved fruit quality, and reduced susceptibility to pests and diseases. This review focuses on the benefits offered by passive covers in terms of their variable shading and light transmittance properties and their effects on vegetative growth and fruit development in various crops. It is anticipated that through a better understanding of photo‐selective covers in protected cropping, primary producers will be better equipped to make informed decisions regarding their deployment and thereby achieve better yields and more nutritious produce from their crops.

    Abstract Blueberry, hailed as an antioxidant superfood, is the fruit of small shrubs in the genus Vaccinium (family Ericaceae). The fruits are a rich source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants such as flavonoids and phenolic acids. The antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities derived from the polyphenolic compounds, particularly from the abundantly present anthocyanin pigment, have been highlighted as the major contributing factor to the health-benefitting properties of blueberry. In recent years, blueberry cultivation under polytunnels has expanded, with plastic covers designed to offer protection of crop and fruit yield from suboptimal environmental conditions and birds. An important consideration is that the covers reduce photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and filter out ultraviolet (UV) radiation that is critical for the fruit’s bioactive composition. Blueberry fruits grown under covers have been reported to have reduced antioxidant capacity as compared to fruits from open fields. In addition to light, abiotic stresses such as salinity, water deficit, and low temperature trigger accumulation of antioxidants. We highlight in this review how interventions such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), photo-selective films, and exposure of plants to mild stresses, alongside developing new varieties with desired traits, could be used to optimise the nutritional quality, particularly the content of polyphenols, of blueberry grown under covers.

    Abstract In Australia, small and sour fruit can be a problem for growers of southern highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) during the early season. A field experiment examined the impact of hand thinning and the foliar treatments, urea, ammonium thiosulphate (ATS), benzyladenine (BA) and ATS/BA combination on blueberry cultivar ‘OB1’ fruit quality for an entire season. Treatments were applied over four weeks from the first harvest. Urea (5%) and ATS (0.78%) were effective at desiccating open flowers. However, BA (0.015%) failed to thin fruit, applied alone or following ATS. Fruit size (berry weight and diameter), increased towards the end of the season without compromising yield for hand thinning, ATS, BA and ATS/BA. However, thinning had no effect on the concentration of total sugars or acids. Foliar urea, although an effective desiccant, had little effect on fruit size, and despite its use to reduce leaf senescence in autumn, it had no effect on the leaf canopy area. Future research should evaluate earlier applications of ATS and BA for increasing fruit size early in the season when fruit weight and diameter are most limited.

    Abstract Gac is valued for the nutritious aril surrounding its seed. When pollinators are limited or when flower sex expression is female-biased, hand pollination is necessary. Here, female flowers were hand pollinated with male flowers or pollen stored for up to 84 days at 4 or -20 °C, and fruit set and some qualities of mature fruit were evaluated. Cool storage reduced pollen viability (germinability and pollen tube length) and compromised fruit set (10–87%) compared with fresh pollen (97%). Fruit weight was also reduced at least by 8%, and oil concentration in aril by 40%. However, the lycopene and β-carotene concentrations in aril were largely uncompromised, and some fruits were of a marketable weight (>1.2 kg) and quality. Cool storage is a low-cost method for the short-term storage of Gac pollen. However, methods for drying pollen to an inactive state need investigation for a storage protocol, and for improvements in fruit set and fruit physicochemical qualities using hand pollination.

    Abstract Background: Gac (
    Results: A four-fold higher total saponin content (TSC) was obtained in extracts from full-fat Gac seed kernel powder than from defatted powder (100 vs. 26 mg aescin equivalents (AE) per gram of Gac seeds). The optimal parameters for the extraction of saponins were a ratio of 30 mL of 100% absolute ethanol per g of full-fat Gac seed kernel powder with the microwave set at 360 W for three irradiation cycles of 10 s power ON and 15 s power OFF per cycle.
    Conclusions: Gac seed saponins could be efficiently extracted using MAE. Full-fat powder of the seed kernels is recommended to be used for a better yield of saponins. The optimised MAE conditions are recommended for the extraction of enriched saponins from Gac seeds for potential application in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries.

    Abstract Amaranthus tricolor is a potential accumulator of nitrate but nutrient sufficiency guidelines have not been developed for this vegetable. We investigated whether the shoot stem of A. tricolor is a suitable index for crop nitrate status, and whether freezing the stem, which aids sap extraction, would render it unsuitable for the analysis of nitrate and other nutrients. We grew A. tricolor at two nitrogen (N) rates (100 and 200 mg L⁻¹ as nitrate-N) and established that sap nitrate from both fresh and frozen-thawed stems did not differ but was significantly increased by additional N fertilizer. Shoot growth was correspondingly higher with additional N. Therefore, the stem is a suitable index for crop nitrate. Boron (B), calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), sodium (Na) and sulfur (S) were significantly affected by frozen storage but potassium (K), phosphorus (P) and zinc (Zn) were not. A single sufficiency guideline is possible for these nutrients, for use with both fresh and frozen-thawed stem sap.
