Cucumber Fruit Size and Shape Variations Explored from the Aspects of Morphology, Histology, and Endogenous Hormones [PDF]
Plants, 2020 Fruit size and shape are important qualities and yield traits in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), but the factors that influence fruit size and shape remain to be explored. In this study, we investigated the dynamic changes of fruit size and shape from the

The MdAux/IAA2 Transcription Repressor Regulates Cell and Fruit Size in Apple Fruit. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 Auxin plays an important role in regulating plant development, and Auxin/indole acetic acid (Aux/IAA) is a type of auxin-responsive gene and plays an important role in auxin signaling; to date, although 29 Aux/IAA proteins have been reported in Abrabidopsis thaliana, only parts of the Aux/IAA family gene functions have been identified.

Genetic and signalling pathways of dry fruit size: targets for genome editing‐based crop improvement [PDF]
Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2020 Summary Fruit is seed‐bearing structures specific to angiosperm that form from the gynoecium after flowering. Fruit size is an important fitness character for plant evolution and an agronomical trait for crop domestication/improvement.

Idiosyncratic and dose-dependent epistasis drives variation in tomato fruit size. [PDF]
Science, 2023 Epistasis between genes is traditionally studied with mutations that eliminate protein activity, but most natural genetic variation is in cis-regulatory DNA and influences gene expression and function quantitatively.

Comparative Anatomical and Transcriptomics Reveal the Larger Cell Size as a Major Contributor to Larger Fruit Size in Apricot. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2023 Fruit size is one of the essential quality traits and influences the economic value of apricots. To explore the underlying mechanisms of the formation of differences in fruit size in apricots, we performed a comparative analysis of anatomical and ...

Cytokinins are involved in regulation of tomato pericarp thickness and fruit size. [PDF]
Hortic Res, 2022 Although cytokinins (CKs) regulate fruit development, no direct genetic evidence supports the role of endogenous CKs in pericarp growth or development or fruit size. Here, we report that the reduction in levels of endogenous active CKs via overexpression

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.

Viewpoint Planning for Fruit Size and Position Estimation [PDF]
2021 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2021 Modern agricultural applications require knowledge about the position and size of fruits on plants. However, occlusions from leaves typically make obtaining this information difficult. We present a novel viewpoint planning approach that builds up an octree of plants with labeled regions of interest (ROIs), i.e., fruits.

Organic Waste-Based Fertilizer in Hydroponics Increases Tomato Fruit Size but Reduces Fruit Quality. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2021 In regions with intensive agricultural production, large amounts of organic waste are produced by livestock animals. Liquid digestate from manure-based biogas production could potentially serve as fertilizer if integrated with closed horticultural ...
