Genomic analyses of a widespread blueberry virus in the United States
Virus Res. 2023 Jun 2:199143. doi: 10.1016/j.virusres.2023.199143. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTScreening of blueberry accessions using high throughput sequencing revealed the presence of a new virus. Genomic structure and sequence are similar to that of nectarine stem pitting associated virus (NSPaV), a member of the genus Luteovirus, family Tombusviridae. The full genome of the new luteovirus, tentatively named blueberry virus L (BlVL), was characterized and analyzed. Similar to NSPaV, BlVL does not contain readily identifiable movement proteins in any of the seven isolates sequenced. More than 600 samples collected fro...

Moderate Consumption of Freeze-dried Blueberry Powder Increased Net Bone Calcium Retention Compared with No Treatment in Healthy Postmenopausal Women: A Randomized Crossover Trial 1,2 
CONCLUSIONS: Moderate consumption (<1 cup/day) of blueberries may be an effective strategy to attenuate bone loss in healthy postmenopausal women.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT02630797.PMID:37269909 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.05.033 (Source: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)

In vivo antioxidant activity of rabbiteye blueberry (Vaccinium ashei cv. ‘Brightwell’) anthocyanin extracts
AbstractBlueberries are rich in phenolic compounds including anthocyanins which are closely related to biological health functions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activity of blueberry anthocyanins extracted from ‘Brightwell’ rabbiteye blueberries in mice. After one week of adaptation, C57BL/6J healthy male mice were divided into different groups that were administered with 100, 400, or 800 mg/kg blueberry anthocyanin extract (BAE), and sacrificed at different time points (0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, or 12 h). The plasma, eyeball, intestine, liver, and adipose tissues were collected to compare t...
