Peach Fruit Weight Is Influenced by Crop Density and Fruiting Shoot Length but not Position on the Shoot [PDF]
Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 1994 The relationship between peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] fruit position and fruit weight (FW) was studied in experiments involving thinned vs. nonthinned fruiting shoots, shoots with and without axillary shoots, and trees with varying crop densities (CDs).

Harvest Maturity Stage and Cold Storage Length Influence on Flavour Development in Peach Fruit
Agronomy, 2018 Peach market is facing a constant decrease due to the poor fruit quality perceived at consumption that might be greatly affected by fruit ripening stage at harvest and by the post-harvest management. The present work aimed at clarifying the influence of maturity at harvest on the evolution of peach aroma and quality during shelf-life after prolonged ...

Date fruit consumption at term: Effect on length of gestation, labour and delivery
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 2017 Labour induction and augmentation with Prostaglandin and Oxytocin are well established as standard practice worldwide. They are safe when used judiciously, but may be associated with maternal and neonatal morbidities. Other safer alternatives have been studied including dates consumption during late pregnancy with various outcomes.

Sleep-length differences are associated with altered longevity in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Biology Open, 2020 ABSTRACT Sleep deprivation has been shown to negatively impact health outcomes, leading to decreased immune responses, memory loss, increased activity of stress and inflammatory pathways, weight gain, and even behavioral changes. These observations suggest that sleep deprivation substantially interferes with important physiological ...

Full-length transcriptome profiling for fruit development in Diospyros oleifera using nanopore sequencing [PDF]
BMC Genomic Data, 2023 Abstract Objectives Diospyros oleifera, one of the most economically important Diospyros species, is an ideal model for studying the fruit development of persimmon. While, the lack of whole-transcriptome has hindered the complex transcriptional regulation mechanisms of sugar and tannin during fruit development.
