“…A significant decrease was observed in the dry weight of all the landraces under water deficit. In an experiment, it was found that, at 3% PEG, the fresh weight of blueberry genotypes increased compared to the control and decreased at 7% PEG (Mazurek et al 2020). The same findings were reported in decreasing the vegetative parameters, especially the fresh and dry weight, along with a sharp decrease in the osmotic pressure.…”

The Damask rose (Rosa damascena Mill.) is a perennial plant species within the Rosa genus of the Rosaceae family. It is known that there are about 150 rose species in the world and very few of them have strong scents, but those that do include: Rosa damascena, Rosa centifolia, Rosa alba, Rosa moschata (Baydar et al. 2007). Four different products are obtained from the flowers of the Damask rose, namely rose oil, rose water, rose concentrate, and rose absolute.The composition of essential oil components varies significantly according to the products (Goktork Baydar, Baydar 2005; Seyed Hajizadeh et al. 2022). The Damask rose is traditionally propagated by seed, root and stem cuttings, dipping, or grafting (Horn 1992). While the seed propagation is a method used in breeding studies and obtaining rootstocks; vegetative propagation methods are slow and time-consuming practices, and may have some disadvantages,

“…In the present study, we demonstrated variations in chlorophyll content and fluorescence between plants derived from in vitro cultures and those propagated conventionally. Differences were also observed in the reaction to stress conditions of highbush blueberry plants subjected to diverse propagation methods [ 56 ]. Many authors [ 66 , 67 , 68 ] have indicated that in vitro culture conditions may affect photosynthetic processes.…”

“…These studies focused on the comparison of conventionally propagated plants with plants derived from in vitro cultures, without taking into account the type of culture [ 15 , 45 , 46 , 47 ]. Furthermore, existing research did not analyse comprehensively the impact of propagation methods on plants and fruits, focusing on morphological [ 15 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 55 ] differences mainly, or less, on physiological [ 56 ], biochemical [ 15 , 46 , 48 ] or epigenetic differences [ 57 ]. Moreover, there are no scientific reports presenting analyses conducted on a wide group of differentially propagated plants.…”

In vitro culture allows the production of numerous plants with both desirable and undesirable traits. To investigate the impact of the propagation method on highbush blueberry plants, an analysis was performed on four groups of differentially propagated plants: in vitro with axillary (TC-Ax) or adventitious shoots (TC-Ad), conventionally (SC) and using a mixed method (TC/SC). The analysis included plant features (shoot length and branching, chlorophyll and fluorescence and DNA methylation) and fruit properties (antioxidant compounds). The data obtained indicated significant differences between plants propagated conventionally and in vitro, as well as variations among plants derived from in vitro cultures with different types of explants. SC plants generally exhibited the lowest values of morphological and physiological parameters but produced fruits richest in antioxidant compounds. TC/SC plants were dominant in length, branching and fluorescence. Conversely, TC-Ax plants produced fruits with the lowest levels of antioxidant compounds. The methylation-sensitive amplified polymorphism (MSAP) technique was employed to detect molecular differences. TC-Ad plants showed the highest methylation level, whereas SC plants had the lowest. The overall methylation level varied among differentially propagated plants. It can be speculated that the differences among the analysed plants may be attributed to variations in DNA methylation.

“…In many cases the decrease in fluoresce parameters ( Estrada et al., 2015 ; Balboa et al., 2020 ) is also related to the decrease in chlorophyll and carotenoid content during drought ( Chen et al., 2017 ; Mazurek et al., 2021 ; Molnar et al., 2022 ). Additionally, membrane damage as result of ROS accumulation can also be monitored through malondialdehyde (MDA) content, which is a product of membrane lipid peroxidation because of membrane damage ( Ma et al., 2015 ).…”

Blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) is an increasingly popular fruit around the world for their attractive taste, appearance, and most importantly their many health benefits. Global blueberry production was valued at $2.31 billion with the United States alone producing $1.02 billion of cultivated blueberries in 2021. The sustainability of blueberry production is increasingly threatened by more frequent and extreme drought events caused by climate change. Blueberry is especially prone to adverse effects from drought events due to their superficial root system and lack of root hairs, which limit blueberry’s ability to intake water and nutrients from the soil especially under drought stress conditions. The goal of this paper is to review previous studies on blueberry drought tolerance focusing on physiological, biochemical, and molecular drought tolerance mechanisms, as well as genetic variability present in cultivated blueberries. We also discuss limitations of previous studies and potential directions for future efforts to develop drought-tolerant blueberry cultivars. Our review showed that the following areas are lacking in blueberry drought tolerance research: studies of root and fruit traits related to drought tolerance, large-scale cultivar screening, efforts to understand the genetic architecture of drought tolerance, tools for molecular-assisted drought tolerance improvement, and high-throughput phenotyping capability for efficient cultivar screening. Future research should be devoted to following areas: (1) drought tolerance evaluation to include a broader range of traits, such as root architecture and fruit-related performance under drought stress, to establish stronger association between physiological and molecular signals with drought tolerance mechanisms; (2) large-scale drought tolerance screening across diverse blueberry germplasm to uncover various drought tolerance mechanisms and valuable genetic resources; (3) high-throughput phenotyping tools for drought-related traits to enhance the efficiency and affordability of drought phenotyping; (4) identification of genetic architecture of drought tolerance using various mapping technologies and transcriptome analysis; (5) tools for molecular-assisted breeding for drought tolerance, such as marker-assisted selection and genomic selection, and (6) investigation of the interactions between drought and other stresses such as heat to develop stress resilient genotypes.
