Redesigning the tomato fruit shape for mechanized production

Nature Plants, 2023
Crop breeding for mechanized harvesting has driven modern agriculture. In tomato, machine harvesting for industrial processing varieties became the norm in the 1970s. However, fresh-market varieties whose fruits are suitable for mechanical harvesting are difficult to breed because of associated reduction in flavour and nutritional qualities.

Microtubule-associated protein SlMAP70 interacts with IQ67-domain protein SlIQD21a to regulate fruit shape in tomato.

The Plant Cell, 2023
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit shape is related to microtubule organization and the activity of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs). However, insights into the mechanism of fruit shape formation from a cell biology perspective remain limited ...

Genetic control of fruit shape acts prior to anthesis in melon (Cucumis melo L.)

open access: yesMolecular Genetics and Genomics, 2002
Genetic control of fruit shape in Cucumis melo was studied using QTL analysis in two Recombinant Inbred (RI) populations consisting of 163 and 63 individuals, respectively, obtained by crossing the same round-fruited parent with two different elongated ...

Inheritance mode of fruit traits in melon: Heterosis for fruit shape and its correlation with genetic distance

open access: yesEuphytica, 2005
Fruit quality traits were studied in 12 exotic accessions and their hybrids with a “Piel de Sapo” inodorus melon cultivar. The genetic relationships among these genotypes were assessed with 16 microsatellite markers, which agreed with the classification ...

Diversification of fruit shape in the Brassicaceae family

Plant Reproduction, 2016
Diversity in fruit shape. Angiosperms (flowering plants) evolved during the Cretaceous Period more than 100 million years ago and quickly colonized all terrestrial habitats on the planet. A major reason for their success was the formation of fruits that would protect and nurture the developing seeds.

Heritability of fruit shape in pears

Euphytica, 2000
Heritabilities for each of three different height and width ratios describing fruit shape were estimated from measurements on a population of seedlings comprising 17 families of European and Asian pear parentage in the Hort Research pear cultivar breeding programme. In families with European cultivars as parents, the pyriform curvature in the upper, or
