(cultivars and advanced selections from the University of Georgia blueberry breeding program) were chosen for analysis of the relationships among fruit weight, fruit diameter, cell number, and cell area. Fifty mature berries from five plants were randomly
the development of new raspberry cultivars suitable for the machine-harvest processing market. This is despite parental material in our study being highly related and representing only a small proportion of the genetic diversity of R. idaeus. This is
analyzing heterozygosity between grapevine cultivar clones ( Anhalt et al., 2011 ; Blaich et al., 2007 ; Fanizza et al., 2005 ; Konradi et al., 2007 ; Wegscheider et al., 2009 ), but heterozygosity is as well the basis of every breeding study
raspberry processing market in North America is currently made up of cultivars such as Meeker, Wakefield, and, historically, Willamette with relatively small fruit size (typically 3 to 3.5 g). Large fruit (e.g., greater than 5 g) are unlikely to be suited to
harvested and processed for local foods ( Atkinson et al., 1995 ; Hirai et al., 2010 ; Iwagaki et al., 1977 ). Shashanbo blooms from May to June and produces numerous small, dark blue berries that ripen from September to December. This shrub species is of
fruit surface in sweet cherry ( Beyer and Knoche, 2002 ; Beyer et al., 2002 , 2005 ; Weichert and Knoche, 2006 ), the mechanical properties of the sweet cherry fruit have received little attention. In grape berries ( Vitis vinifera L.), another
North America, the majority of cultivars are polyploid, but the Rubus genus has a range of ploidy levels ranging from diploid to dodecaploid ( Clark and Finn, 2011 ; Meng and Finn, 2002 ; Thompson, 1995 ). These cultivars often have complicated
. Wd transcript level was relatively unchanged during fruit development in ‘Ghostbuster’ and increased in market-sized fruit of both cultivars relative to smaller stage y fruit. Table 4. Relative expression for eggplant anthocyanin regulatory genes in
P S ). These values are especially difficult to obtain because 1) the skin is quite thin and 2) the size of the epidermal cells is much smaller than the parenchyma cells of the flesh. This makes direct determination of cell turgor using a pressure
productive with medium fruit size and low oil content ( Moutier et al., 2004 ). ARB is a Spanish cultivar with very low vigor. ARB is very productive with very small fruit and a high oil content ( Rallo et al., 2005 ). In previous studies using SSR markers
