Summary: This article presents a comprehensive assessment of 58 strawberry cultivars from various geographical origins in the Estonian conditions, using main economically useful markers. The cultivars were clustered based on each marker using the K-means clustering method. Similar groups of cultivars were formed based on characteristics such as high yield, fruit weight, total soluble solids content, titratable acidity content, and Brix/acidity ratio. Validating cultivars into similar groups is crucial for breeding decisions, and the K-means clustering method is an ideal tool for this purpose.

Summary: The US Department of Agriculture breeding program has recently released three peach cultivars: Crimson Joy, Liberty Joy, and Rich Joy, ripening at different times from June to July. This study compares the characteristics of ripening fruit from these cultivars in two trial orchards. Significant differences were observed in fruit size, weight, diameter, juice volume, and soluble solid content among the cultivars and trial locations.

Summary: The study found high variability among different tomato cultivars under organic low-input conditions, with salad cultivars having higher yield and cocktail cultivars having better fruit quality. There was a trade-off between fruit yield and quality, highlighting the challenge of simultaneously improving both aspects. The importance of Mg in fruit mineral concentration and quality was emphasized, providing a novel path for future research in organic tomato production.

Summary: Apple cultivation plays a crucial role in the economy of the Kashmir region, with the Red Delicious cultivar being dominant. A study was conducted to evaluate thirteen apple cultivars in terms of physico-chemical attributes over two years. The results indicated significant variations among the cultivars in terms of fruit characteristics and harvest dates.

Summary: The study found that inoculation of tomato plants with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can improve the nutritional quality of tomatoes, such as increasing the content of free amino acids, lycopene, and beta-carotene, without reducing the yield. By comparing the genes and metabolites of inoculated and non-inoculated plants, it was found that mycorrhizal plants had higher levels of carotenoids and sugars.

Summary: Through the study and comparison of 8 cherry tomato cultivars, it was found that there were significant differences in morphology, physicochemical parameters, volatile composition, and sensory quality among different cultivars. Seychelles and C-95 were recommended as the best alternatives for replacing Angelle and Katalina in pear and round cherry cultivars, respectively.

Summary: This study aimed to identify thermotolerant tomato cultivars suitable for protected cultivation by using principal component analysis (PCA) to combine high yield, fruit quality, and consumer acceptance. The study found that 'Fascinio' stood out for its high yield characteristics and consumer preference, while 'Candieiro' had the highest content of bioactive compounds, adding value to the fruit.

Summary: Grafting onto resistant rootstocks is an effective strategy to control soil-borne diseases in tomatoes, especially for landraces with little or no resistance. In this study, seven commercial Solanum interspecific rootstocks were evaluated for graft compatibility, yield performance, and qualitative characteristics of the 'Corbarino' tomato landrace. Three rootstocks, 'Dinafort', 'Interpro', and 'Silex', were found to improve fruit yield without affecting the traits of the traditional tomato. However, further research is needed to improve graft success.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of glycine betaine (GB) and/or methyl salicylate (MeSA) on the storage quality of 'Moro' blood oranges during cold quarantine storage. The results showed that the combined treatment of 30 mM GB and 100 mu M MeSA significantly reduced weight and firmness losses in the fruit. Additionally, there were changes in titratable acidity (TA), total soluble solids (TSS), TSS/TA ratio, and juice pH across all treatments. Peel color parameters also exhibited characteristic changes, which were delayed by the application of GB and MeSA.

Summary: The study evaluated the response of different tomato cultivars with different fruit colors to increasing Cd levels, finding that yield may be affected by Cd concentrations, while fruit quality parameters were unaffected by long-term exposure to Cd. Fruit quality features are able to buffer the potential side effects of Cd exposure.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of thinning and pruning on peach cultivation, and found that high crop load led to decreased fruit weight and circumference, but increased plant yield. Additionally, fruit soluble solids content increased with decreasing crop load.

Summary: The effects of saline irrigation waters on carrot root yield and leaf nutrient accumulations were studied, along with the potential role of supplementary calcium treatments in mitigating these effects. The experiments used a randomized-factorial design with four replications. Carrot plants were exposed to different concentrations of NaCl and supplementary calcium treatments. Increasing irrigation water salinity levels reduced carrot root yields and leaf nutrient levels, while supplementary calcium treatments improved root yields and increased potassium, calcium, and phosphorus contents in the leaves. However, supplementary calcium treatments did not have a positive effect on leaf chloride, magnesium, iron, manganese, copper, and boron contents. The findings suggest that supplementary calcium treatments can be used to enhance crop performance under low and moderate salinity levels in irrigation waters.
