Researchers at Michigan State University (USA) provide a comprehensive analysis of the flower development of sour cherries. Numerous transcriptional studies have shown that the regulation of flower initiation in rosaceous species is significantly influenced by hormonal balance.

The innovation of this method is the use of a portable device designed to produce cold plasma and a plasma-treated solution. 15-45 seconds of cold plasma exposure prior to grafting on fresh sections of scions and rootstocks increases root collar diameter and growth length.

Field, laboratory, biochemical, physiological and statistical methods were used for this research. Root inoculation with MycoApply Micronised Endo/Ecto resulted in a 1.3-11.8% increase in the water-holding capacity of the leaves compared to the control group.

The approach shows excellent performance in cherry recognition. It is remarkable that the training time of Swin Transformer and MLP was only 78.43 seconds (when in the absence of MLP the training time was 551.24 seconds) and that their recognition accuracy peaked at 98.5%.

Rootstock tolerance to conditions of soil saturation can be improved through the activation of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant defence mechanisms by the application of amino acids that can improve the plants' response to unfavourable conditions caused by water logging.

The Tieton/Landing 2 and Tieton/Gisela 6 combinations were used by analysing 4-year-old plants. The PaMYBF gene was identified and it was noted that the expression of PaMYBF was significantly higher in the phloem tissue of the scion when grafted onto the Gisela 6 rootstock.

The use of fludioxonil is authorised for post-harvest use but a growing body of evidence casts doubt on its classification as 'low risk' and the scientific community is calling for a re-evaluation.Consequently, possible alternative solutions are being explored.

Among the cultivars produced by the Institute of Horticulture and Breeding are Wilen, Wilga, Lucyna, Wanda, Koral and Kolia. These new selections demonstrate the Polish institutes' commitment to new solutions that guarantee quality sour cherry production.

Poland is one of the leading fruit producers, with a per capita production of 146 kg of fruit. Among the cultivated species, the production of sour cherries stands out, reaching 183 thousand tonnes in 2022, making it one of the largest producers in the world.

There is a growing interest in planar and Y systems, which can improve light interception and speed up harvesting practices. Currently, it appears that plants grown with the Upright Fruiting Offshoots system have the highest harvest rate (0.81 kg/min).
