Fruit production from Opuntia ficus-indica ecotypes in comparison to commercial Italian clones
Horticultural Science, 2018 Fruit production, as an elementary chemical characteristic of the fruit, was evaluated in 16 Opuntia ficus-indica Portuguese ecotypes cultivated in a marginal soil without tillage, in the second and third years after plantation. The O.

Differences in apple fruit shape are independent of fruit size
The Plant Phenome JournalAbstract Premise Fruit quality is crucial in breeding new apple accessions. Before tasting, consumers assess freshness and flavour based on the physical appearance of fruit. Understanding how fruit quality traits such as shape and size vary across diverse apples provides a foundation for future ...

Preliminary evaluation results of new plum cultivars in a dense planting
Horticultural Science, 2009 Sixteen new plum cultivars mostly bred in Germany were tested together with several standards in a high density experimental orchard established at Holovousy in the spring of 2004 with spacing 5 × 1.5 m. Trees were trained as spindles on St.

Fruit Size of Strawberry Cultivars
Journal of the American Pomological Society, 1970 Fruit size os one of the important economic characters to be considered when evaluating strawberry cultivars, selections, or seedlings. Large fruit command the highest market prices. Fruit size is also becoming increasingly important in relation to harvesting costs. Large fruit size is now being emphasized in most strawberry breeding programs.

Strong Lead‐Free Bioinspired Piezoceramics for Durable Energy Transducers
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We fabricated brick‐and‐mortar lead‐free piezoceramics with Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 monocrystal platelets as bricks and amorphous silica as mortar. The alignment of the bricks and the presence of the amorphous silica led to anisotropic residual stresses. These residual stresses increase the samples toughness, strength and durability while the brick alignment ...
