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 ...

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.

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.

A 1.7-Mb chromosomal inversion downstream of a PpOFP1 gene is responsible for flat fruit shape in peach. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol J, 2021 Flat peaches have become popular worldwide due to their novelty and convenience. The peach flat fruit trait is genetically controlled by a single gene at the S locus, but its genetic basis remains unclear.

Localization of quantitative trait loci for cucumber fruit shape by a population of chromosome segment substitution lines. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 Cucumber fruit shape, a significant agronomic trait, is controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Feasibility of chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) is well demonstrated to map QTLs, especially the minor-effect ones.
