Accumulated chilling hours during endodormancy impact blooming and fruit shape development in peach (Prunus persica L.)

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2016
Winter chill is essential for the growth and development of deciduous species. To understand the relationship between accumulated chilling hours during endodormancy and blooming and fruit shape development, we controlled chilling hours and investigated ...

Identification of Key Genes of Fruit Shape Variation in Jujube with Integrating Elliptic Fourier Descriptors and Transcriptome [PDF]

Plants
Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba) exhibits a rich diversity in fruit shape, with natural occurrences of gourd-like, flattened, and other special shapes. Despite the ongoing research into fruit shape, studies integrating elliptical Fourier descriptors (EFDs) with ...

Ethylene plays a dual role in sex determination and fruit shape in cucurbits

Current Biology, 2022
Shapes of vegetables and fruits are the result of adaptive evolution and human selection. Modules controlling organ shape have been identified. However, little is known about signals coordinating organ development and shape.

Multi-dimensional machine learning approaches for fruit shape phenotyping in strawberry. [PDF]

Gigascience, 2020
Background Shape is a critical element of the visual appeal of strawberry fruit and is influenced by both genetic and non-genetic determinants. Current fruit phenotyping approaches for external characteristics in strawberry often rely on the human eye to

CLASSIFICATION OF STRAWBERRY FRUIT SHAPE BY MACHINE LEARNING [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018
Abstract. Shape is one of the most important traits of agricultural products due to its relationships with the quality, quantity, and value of the products. For strawberries, the nine types of fruit shape were defined and classified by humans based on the sampler patterns of the nine types.

Evolution of a SHOOTMERISTEMLESS transcription factor binding site promotes fruit shape determination. [PDF]

Nat Plants
In animals and plants, organ shape is primarily determined during primordium development by carefully coordinated growth and cell division1, 2–3. Rare examples of post-primordial change in morphology (reshaping) exist that offer tractable systems for the
