Cytokinin-related genes regulate cucumber fruit pedicel length
Pedicel length is a crucial agronomic trait of cucumbers. Fruit deformation can occur When the pedicel is too long or too short. Moreover, an appropriate pedicel length is advantageous for mechanized harvesting.

Association of Pedicel Length and Diameter with Fruit Length and Diameter and Ease of Fruit Detachment in Pepper [PDF]
Genetic correlations for pedicel length and diameter, fruit length and diameter, and fruit detachment force (FDF) were determined in three pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) families from crosses of `Serrano Chili' (low FDF) with three cultivars (`Anaheim Chili', `Keystone Resistant Giant', and `Red

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.

Spatial development of transport structures in apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) fruit [PDF]
The void network and vascular system are important pathways for the transport of gases, water and solutes in apple fruit (Malus x domestica Borkh). Here we used X-ray micro-tomography at various spatial resolutions to investigate the growth of these ...

Sleep-length differences are associated with altered longevity in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
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 ...

Using structural colour to track length scale of cell‐wall layers in developing Pollia japonica fruits [PDF]
Summary Helicoidally arranged layers of cellulose microfibrils in plant cell walls can produce strong and vivid coloration in a wide range of species. Despite its significance, the morphogenesis of cell walls, whether reflective or not, is not fully understood. Here we show that by optically monitoring the reflectance of Pollia japonica fruits during

Influence of genotypes and environment on eggplant fruit length and width
One of the goals in eggplant breeding (Solanum melongena L.) is higher yield, as well as adaptation to different environments. Our study included 20 different eggplant genotypes. The experiment was conducted at three different locations (Smederevska Palanka, Vranovo and Kusadak) using a randomized complete block design in three replications. The length

Peach Fruit Weight Is Influenced by Crop Density and Fruiting Shoot Length but not Position on the Shoot [PDF]
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).
