Fruit scent and observer colour vision shape food-selection strategies in wild capuchin monkeys [PDF]

, 2019
The senses play critical roles in helping animals evaluate foods, including fruits that can change both in colour and scent during ripening to attract frugivores.

Global increase in DNA methylation during orange fruit development and ripening

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance A global loss of DNA methylation due to active DNA demethylation is critical to the regulation of tomato fruit ripening. It is unclear whether and how DNA methylation may change during the ripening of other fruits. We found a global increase

BioCNTs Mediated Delivery of Systemically Mobile Small RNAs via Leaf Spray to Control Both Tomato DNA and RNA Viruses

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A carbon nanotube‐based biopesticide system (BioCNTs) enables efficient delivery and systemic movement of RNAi molecules to control major tomato viruses. By integrating shRNA and tRNA‐like structures (TLS) with BioCNTs, this green and scalable approach achieves long‐term silencing and high antiviral efficacy through simple foliar spraying.

Role of growth regulators on fruit splitting and nutritional status of Daisy Mandarin in subtropical conditions

Scientific Reports
Daisy mandarin is a commercially important cultivar of citrus, well known for its superior fruit quality and adaptability to subtropical climates. However, the fruit splitting and imbalances in leaf nutrient content often limits its productivity.

Hyperelastic Starch Hydrogel Configures Edible and Biodegradable All‐Components for Soft Robots

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hyperelastic starch hydrogel is tailored via a phase separation strategy of solvent‐antisolvent co‐modulation. The mechanical performance of starch hydrogel is widely tuned with maximum strains: 194.4–361.4%; maximum tensile stresses: 34–192 kPa; and Young's moduli: 36.0–205.8 kPa. Notably, the hydrogel achieves complete soil degradation within 24 days

Flower and fruit development in processing tomatoes : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Horticultural Science in Vegetable Production at Massey University [PDF]

, 1990
Processing tomato crops are mechanically harvested from a single destructive harvest. The timing of this harvest to coincide with the maximum yield of factory grade fruit is of considerable importance to the efficiency of the field operation.

Genome re-sequencing reveals the history of apple and supports a two-stage model for fruit enlargement

Nature Communications, 2017
Human selection has reshaped crop genomes. Here we report an apple genome variation map generated through genome sequencing of 117 diverse accessions. A comprehensive model of apple speciation and domestication along the Silk Road is proposed based on ...
