The growing-degree-days (GDD) model for pineapple was developed to predict flowering and harvest dates; however, it has not been adapted to the climate in Japan’s growing regions, where air temperatures fluctuate over a wide range, and the prediction accuracy is low. The present study aimed to develop models for predicting flowering and harvest dates with high accuracy by analyzing a large phenological dataset from Japan’s main (Nago) and warmer (Ishigaki) production areas. The number of days between budding and flowering decreased at air temperatures of up to approximately 25°C and remained constant above 25°C. The number of days between flowering and harvest decreased until approximately 23°C. The effect of day length on both days to flowering and harvest was small. The relationship between air temperature and the developmental rate after budding to flowering and after flowering to harvest was modeled using the GDD and exponential function models, both with upper limits. The GDD model with an upper limit temperature was more accurate at predicting flowering and harvest dates compared to the conventional GDD model. In particular, the prediction accuracy of the harvest date was dramatically improved. Because the relationship between the developmental rate until flowering and the air temperature was exponential rather than linear, the exponential function model provided a more accurate prediction of the flowering date. The root-mean-square errors of the most accurate models were 3.7–6.1 days for predicting the flowering date and 6.1–10.2 days for the harvest date. We believe that these models will be useful for planning shipments of pineapple in regions with wide temperature ranges, such as Japan, and for cultivation management in response to climate change.

The pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) is an economically important tropical fruit crop. In this study, we performed quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis using 168 individuals of the F1 population of ‘Yugafu’ × ‘Yonekura’ for 15 traits: leaf color (L*, a*, b*), harvest day, crown number, slip number, stem shoot number, sucker number, fruit weight, fruit height, fruit diameter, fruit shell color, soluble solid content, acidity, and ascorbic acid content. The constructed single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based genetic linkage map consisted of a total genetic distance of 2,595 cM with 3,123 loci, including 22,330 SNPs across 25 chromosomes. QTL analysis detected 13 QTLs for 9 traits: leaf color a*, harvest day, fruit weight, fruit height, fruit diameter, fruit shell color, soluble solid content, acidity, and ascorbic acid content. The causative gene for each QTL was predicted with two genes identified as candidate genes. The AcCCD4 gene on Aco3.3C08 was the predicted causative gene for the shell color QTL, which negatively controls shell color by carotenoid degradation. The Myb domain protein-encoding gene on Aco3.3C02 was the predicted causative gene for shell color and leaf color a* QTL, which positively regulates anthocyanin accumulation. The QTL and gene information provided here contributes to future marker-assisted selection for fruit quality.

Pineapples (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) are harvested throughout the year, with acid and soluble solid contents varying with season. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the relationship between the acid and soluble solid content and climatic factors. To investigate these relationships, we analyzed the acid and soluble solid content records of a large number of fruit harvested over 15 years from three production areas in Japan. Over the warm period (June to September) pineapple acid content was low, while over the cool period (December to April) it was high, regardless of the cultivar. Soluble solid contents were highest in June and lowest between September and March. Acid content at harvest inversely correlated with the temperature immediately before harvest, and the relationship modelled linearly with the mean temperature over the 10 or 20 days before harvest as a variable. The acid content of ‘N67-10’ is highly dependent on temperature, while that of ‘Okinou P17’ is stable regardless of temperature. The soluble solid content was affected by temperature over longer periods than the acid content and was modelled using a quadratic equation with the mean temperature over the 70–120 days before harvest as a variable. The approximate curve of soluble solid content peaked around 23°C. The majority of ‘Okinou P17’ fruit yielded a soluble solid content of > 15 °Brix over a wide temperature range (≥ 19°C), while the temperature at which most ‘N67-10’ fruit had soluble solid of > 15 °Brix was limited to a narrow range (22–23°C). Although the coefficients of both model equations were significant for all cultivars, the R2 of soluble solid content was smaller than that of acid content. These results contribute to understanding the relationship between acid and soluble solid content and temperature.

Pineapple is an important representative fruit of Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. The fruits of the five new breeding lines (“Okinawa No. 22,” “Okinawa No. 25,” “Okinawa No. 26,” “Okinawa No. 27,” and “Okinawa No. 28”) were evaluated for physicochemical traits, total carotenoids, volatile components, and orthonasal aroma profiles. The fruits had comparable weight, total soluble solids, and titratable acidity but displayed different color space b* values (yellow index). This yellow indicator was positively associated with total carotenoid content, with the “Okinawa No. 26” line having the most (8.74 mg/kg). The amount and composition of volatile components and, consequently, aroma-active compounds varied between fruits. The “Okinawa No. 28” line contained the most active-aroma compound methyl 2-methylbutanoate (odor activity value = 297.78). Except for “Okinawa No. 25,” the lines were associated with pleasant orthonasal aromas, such as fruity, sweet, coconut-like, and peach-like, indicating their potential use in fresh or processed foods.

Various approaches to lumbar interbody fusion have been described. The usefulness of full-endoscopic trans-Kambin's triangle lumbar interbody fusion has recently been reported. This technique has several advantages in patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis, including the ability to improve symptoms without decompression surgery. Moreover, given that the entire procedure is performed percutaneously, it can be performed without increasing the operation time or surgical invasiveness, even in obese patients. In this article, we discuss these advantages and illustrate them with representative cases.
