Blueberry Fruit Development and Splitting
<p>Rain-related splitting of blueberry fruit is a problem facing growers in the southeastern United States and causes an estimated profit loss of up to 20% ($300- $500 per acre). Studies of this phenomenon in other thin-skinned, soft, fleshy fruit showed that no single or set of related …

The molecular basis for the initiation of fruit development and parthenocarpy
Parthenocarpy, or seedless fruit development, has an agronomic importance in many horticultural crops. In most fruit, fertilization or seed set usually determines whether fruit growth is sustained. Naturally occurring parthenocarpy results from a genetic lesion that permits fruit to develop in the …

'Hass' avocado tree water use and the effects of water stress on fruit development
… water use and the effects of water deficits on fruit development were assessed in New Zealand from 2017 to 2019. Avocado tree water use was quantified by sap flow measurement and the soil water balance method at three sites in the main avocado growing regions of the Bay of Plenty, Whangarei, and …

Characterization of molecular functions of polyamines in fruit development and ripening in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
… have been implicated in diverse plant growth and development processes, including seed germination, tissue lignification, organogenesis, flowering, pollination, embryogenesis, fruit development, ripening, abscission, senescence, and stress responses. To elucidate molecular roles of PAs in fruit …

Fruit development and oil content of olives grown in the South Island of New Zealand: A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Horticultural Science with Honours at Lincoln University
The focus of this experiment was to monitor fruit development of olives grown in the South Island of New Zealand. Optimum harvest time is an important consideration for the production of olive oil in New Zealand. Growers require a simple and reliable test that can be used in the field to estimate …

Relationship of free radical scavenging enzymes to fruit growth, development, ripening, and senescence in 'Red Delicious' apples
… were investigated during different stages of fruit bud growth and development in 'Red Spur Delicious' apples (Molus domestica Borkh.). Changes in the activities of these enzymes were also monitored at harvest and during cold storage in relation to ripening, senescence, and scald development. …

Purification and Characterization of 5'-Methylthioadenosine Nucleosidase From Avocado and Tomato
… non-ripening ' rin' and 'nor' tomatoes during fruit development. The effects of wounding on MTA content and MTA nucleosidase activity were also assessed. Results suggested that the methionine salvage pathway in non-ripening mutant tomatoes was also active but at a reduced rate.

An Integrative Analysis of Fruit Shape in Capsella rubella and Arabidopsis thaliana
… of cells into a wide variety of shapes. This development is coordinated by underlying genetic factors that control the organisation and patterning of growth. The Arabidopsis fruit has been studied in detail and genes involved in fruit shape development and organisation have been uncovered. …

Gillenia trifoliata: a tool to understand the genetic regulation of apple flesh development
Fleshy fruits have evolved independently multiple times from dry fruit ancestors, suggesting fruit fleshiness evolves with relative ease (Bremer & Eriksson, 1992; Clausing & Renner, 2001; S. Knapp, 2002; Potter et al., 2007). Apple flesh putatively evolved via progressive floral fusions and …

Genotypic variation in Actinidia deliciosa fruit size and carbohydrate content
… produce market, more attention is being given to fruit quality traits and consumer satisfaction. Kiwifruit occupies a niche position in the worldwide market, when compared to apples, oranges or bananas. It is a fruit with extraordinarily good nutritional traits, and its benefits to human health …

An investigation of genetic factors impacting sterol profiles in Australian olive oils
… of sterol levels in olive oils extracted from fruits grown, harvested and processed under various conditions. In addition, the coding sequences of SMT2 and SMO2 cDNAs and their expression levels during fruit development in olive cultivars Barnea, Frantoio and Picual were also investigated.

Root restriction, under-trellis cover cropping, and rootstock modify vine size and berry composition of Cabernet Sauvignon
… can be costly to manage and produce inadequate fruit for wine production. Dense canopies increase the incidence of fungal disease, require greater allocation of resources to manage, and inhibit fruit development. The primary objective of these studies was to determine effective vine-size …

Ontogenic Resistance To Uncinula Necator In Developing Berries Of Grapevine (Vitis Spp.): Using Germplasm Diversity To Study The Mechanism
… management and to expand our knowledge of fruit development. Several studies were developed to advance this goal. A screen of wild Vitis spp. and interspecific hybrids was conducted to identify and describe phenotypic variation. This project was successful in both expanding our …

A Genetic Approach towards Modulating Pre-Harvest Pod Shatter in Brassica napus (Oilseed Rape)
… candidate gene markers with established roles in fruit development in Arabidopsis. The linkage map was used as a basis to perform a QTL analysis where a number of loci associated with increases in PSR in B. napus have been identified. Genetic markers linked to these loci could provide a valuable …

Optimizing grape cluster exposure to increase desirable aroma compounds and decrease disease severity
By increasing fruit exposure to sunlight and influencing fruit development, leaf thinning in the fruit zone can improve grape quality and lower disease incidence; however, further investigations on the timing, varietal response and intensity are needed to optimize results and to better understand …
