The American Society for Horticultural Science promotes and encourages interest in scientific research and education in all branches of horticulture and plant science. ASHS has three open-access peer-revwd journals, JASHS, HortScience, and HortTechnology.
@ashs-hort.bsky.socialResearchers identified novel mutations of flower color, leaf color, and leaf pubescence in the F1 and F2 generations of hardy hibiscus using EMS-induced mutagenesis and determined the LD50 values and ideal treatment levels. https://doi.org/10.21273/HORTSCI19676-26
@ashs-hort.bsky.socialA new hybrid eggplant, ‘Zheqie 109’, was selected for its ultra-long fruit shape, stable glossy purple-red peel, environmental adaptability, and superior production performance. https://doi.org/10.21273/HORTSCI19703-26

@ashs-hort.bsky.socialThat's electric! Research from Cornell shows that electric weed control (EWC) can be used to manage weeds in young orchard and vineyard plantings as part of an integrated program to suppress vegetation without injury to the crop or impacts to the soil. https://doi.org/10.21273/HORTTECH05981-26
@ashs-hort.bsky.socialThe Fields Lab Strikes Again! New research coming from UF has dialed in a regularly asked question, "how deep should we stratify?" This research highlighted opportunities for growers to cut fertilizer and optimize stratified substrates. https://doi.org/10.21273/HORTTECH05957-26
