Growing conditions do not affect allometric estimation of fresh fruit weight, but affect estimation of dry fruit weight of ‘Kent’ mango [PDF]
An essential aspect of studies on fruit growth is the accurate and nondestructive on-field estimation of key variables of interest such as fresh or dry fruit weight. Allometric relationships between a key variable of interest and one or several easy-to-measure variables that are used as predictors are convenient and powerful tools for this goal ...

Fruit, Vegetable consumption and Body Weight
Low fruit and vegetable consumption has been associated with other erratic food habits which lead to overweight and obesity. In the present study, we compare weight and body mass index (BMI) with vegetable soup, vegetables as side dish and fruit consumption.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
