Silencing GRAS2 reduces fruit weight in tomato [PDF]
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, 2018 AbstractGRAS family transcription factors are involved in multiple biological processes in plants. Here, we report that GRAS2 plays a vital role in regulating fruit weight in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). We establish that the expression of GRAS2 was elevated in ovaries and maintained at a constant level in fertilized ovules.

A Richards growth model to predict fruit weight
Australian & New Zealand Journal of Statistics, 2022 Summary The Richards model comprises several popular sigmoidal and monomolecular growth curves. We illustrate fitting of a Bayesian Richards model by splitting the full growth model into several submodels, followed by a model selection procedure. The performance of the methodology is evaluated by Monte Carlo simulations.
