Estimation of Fruit Grade Weights Based on Fruit Number and Total Fruit Weight in Cucumber [PDF]
In many cases, measurement of cucumber fruit weight in small research plots involves more labor and resources than just counting the number of fruit per plot. Therefore, plant breeders are interested in an efficient method for estimating fruit weight per grade (early, marketable, and cull) based on fruit number and total fruit weight.

Within-bunch Variability in Banana Fruit Weight: Importance of Developmental Lag Between Fruits [PDF]
Abstract Within-bunch (inflorescence) variability in banana fruit weight is of great importance: distal fruits (at the bottom of the bunch) are 30 to 40% smaller than basal fruits at the top. We hypothesize that this variability is related to a developmental lag between fruits. To validate this hypothesis, histological studies (evolution in number of
