Fruit quality is not determined by genetics alone. Water availability, salinity, heat, and cold can all reshape fruit color, ...

Three genotypes were compared in this experiment for which seedy progenitors and their seedless mutants were available. The genotypes used were: Fallglo and Seedless Fallglo (US Early Pride); ...

A pivotal study has provided unprecedented insights into the genetic architecture of sweet oranges, highlighting the critical role of somatic mutations in shaping fruit development. By constructing a ...

Tomatoes are not necessarily deep red when ripe. Heirloom tomatoes and hybrid tomato varieties offer plenty of variation in ...

Under natural and agricultural production conditions, plants often suffer from abiotic stresses such as drought, high temperature, low temperature, saline ...

Tomato plants can put on quite a show. Thick stems, lush green leaves, and vigorous growth often make gardeners feel like ...

Using the fruit fly, scientists have constructed a complete and detailed single-cell map of embryo development. This research will also help scientists pursue questions like how mutations lead to ...
