Relationship between Key Environmental Factors and the Architecture of Fruit Shape and Size in Near-Isogenic Lines of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 Fruit shape and size are complex traits influenced by numerous factors, especially genetics and environment factors. To explore the mechanism of fruit shape and size development in cucumber, a pair of near-isogenic lines (NIL) Ln35 and Ln37 were used ...

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

Identification and characterization of GLOBE, a major gene controlling fruit shape and impacting fruit size and marketability in tomato. [PDF]
Hortic Res, 2021 Within large-fruited germplasm, fruit size is influenced by flat and globe shapes. Whereas flat fruits are smaller and retain better marketability, globe fruits are larger and more prone to cuticle disorders.

Ectopic Expression of CsSUN in Tomato Results in Elongated Fruit Shape via Regulation of Longitudinal Cell Division. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 Fruit shape, an important agronomic trait of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), is tightly controlled by a series of genes such as CsSUN, a homologue of SlSUN that is responsible for the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit shape via the modulation of cell ...

The Citrus Mutant Jedae-unshiu Induced by Gamma Irradiation Exhibits a Unique Fruit Shape and Increased Flavonoid Content. [PDF]
Plants (Basel), 2022 Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc. cv. Miyagawa-wase) is the most widely cultivated citrus variety in Korea. Although most varieties are imported from Japan, efforts have focused on developing new domestic varieties. We produced mutants by irradiating

A cryptic variation in a member of the Ovate Family Proteins is underlying the melon fruit shape QTL fsqs8.1. [PDF]
Theor Appl Genet, 2022 The gene underlying the melon fruit shape QTL fsqs8.1 is a member of the Ovate Family Proteins. Variation in fruit morphology is caused by changes in gene expression likely due to a cryptic structural variation in this locus.
