Shape-based Fruit Recognition and Classification

2017
Classification of fruits is traditionally done using manual resources due to which the time and economic involvements increase adversely with number of fruit types and items per class. In recent times computer based automated techniques have been used to alleviate this problem to a certain extent.

Fruit secondary metabolites shape seed dispersal effectiveness

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2021
Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) play a central role in seed dispersal and fruit defense, with potential for large impacts on plant fitness and demography. Yet because PSMs can have multiple interactive functions across seed dispersal stages, we must systematically study their effects to determine the net consequences for plant fitness.

Developmental History of the Fruit in Lines of Cucurbita pepo Differing in Fruit Shape

Botanical Gazette, 1929
1. The inheritance of fruit shape in Cucurbita pepo may be ascribed to the operation of Mendelian factors. 2. In inbred and genetically pure lines showing the three main shapes of fruit (elongate, spherical, and disk), comparative studies were made of the developmental history of the various shape types from the earliest floral primordium to maturity ...

Shaping a fruit: Developmental pathways that impact growth patterns

Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2018
Angiosperms produce seeds as their progeny enclosed in maternally-derived structures called fruits. Evolutionarily, fruits have contributed enormously to the success of the Angiosperms phylum by providing protection and nutrition to the developing seeds, while ensuring the efficient dispersal upon maturity.

A Firmness Index for Fruits of Ellipsoidal Shape

Biosystems Engineering, 2003
Abstract This paper proposes a novel fruit firmness index c3 for solid ellipsoids with one long principal axis and two equal short principal axes. The firmness index c3 is dependent on the mass, density, and two natural frequencies of the lowest spherical modes (under free boundary conditions) moving along long and short axes, respectively.

Shaping the Dicot Fruit: Molecular and Genomic Approaches to Fruit Development

2016
The fruit is one of the most complex and important structures produced by flowering plants, and understanding the development and maturation process of fruits in different angiosperm species with diverse fruit structures is of immense interest. In the work presented here, molecular genetics and genomic analysis are used to explore the processes that ...

The genetic basis of pear-shaped tomato fruit

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1999
Molecular-marker analysis of a cross between yellow pear, a tomato variety bearing small, pear-shaped fruit, and the round-fruited, wild species, Lycopersicon pimpinellifolium LA1589, revealed that pear-shaped fruit is determined largely by a major QTL on chromosome 2 and, to a lesser extent, a minor QTL on chromosome 10.

Factorial Balance in the Determination of Fruit Shape in Cucurbita

The American Naturalist, 1930
1. Several independent genetic factors tending to flatten fruit shape in Cucurbita have been isolated. Their recessive allelomorphs produce various elongate shapes. 2. Other elongate types are evidently not due to factors of this sort but to others which either produce shape elongation directly or inhibit the operation of flattening factors. 3. Genetic
