A diversity of lipid composition in the seeds and fruits of the palm family
Palms are vitally important due to their high vegetable oil production, which can occur in both fruits and seeds. The full range of lipid storage and composition, however, hasn’t been well understood across this large...
Genetic inhibition of flowering differs between juvenile and adult Citrus trees
In woody species, the juvenile period maintains the axillary meristems in a vegetative stage, unable to flower, for several years. However, in adult trees, some 1-year-old meristems flower whereas others remain...

A network of phytomers in cotton
Within-plant spatial variability in the production and demand for assimilates may have major implications for the formation of fruits. Gu et al. propose an FSP model for cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) based on local pools...

Cherry fruit developmental analysis
Evaluating genetic and environmental effects upon sweet cherry cultivars differing in seasonal duration and fruit size, Gibeau et al. employ photographic measurements to apply a framework of biological time indices...
Hydroxyl radicals attack pectins in ripening fruit
Pectin degradation, causing the softening of ripening fruit, has been proposed to be partly enzymic and partly due to non-enzymic scission by hydroxyl radicals (•OH). Airianah et al. applied a recently developed...
The fruit, the whole fruit, and everything about the fruit

Ascorbic acid accumulation in Ribes fruit
We all know that vitamin C is good for us, but where does it come from?
Apple Epigenetics
Apple epigenetics might explain CO2 injury, which can cause major losses of fruit during storage.
