An integrated peach genome structural variation map uncovers genes associated with fruit traits
Background Genome structural variations (SVs) have been associated with key traits in a wide range of agronomically important species; however, SV profiles of peach and their functional impacts remain largely unexplored.

Effects of Plant Growth Regulators on Fruit Set and Fruit Shape of Parthenocarpic Apple Fruits
We applied auxin, cytokinin, gibberellins, and gibberellin synthetic inhibitor to flowers of ‘Ohrin’, which is parthenocarpic, and ‘Fuji’, which is non-parthenocarpic, to elucidate the relationship between plant growth regulators and parthenocarpy in apple.

Introgression shapes fruit color convergence in invasive Galápagos tomato
Invasive species represent one of the foremost risks to global biodiversity. Here, we use population genomics to evaluate the history and consequences of an invasion of wild tomato— Solanum pimpinellifolium —onto the Galápagos Islands from continental South America.
