Noninvasive diagnosis of internal traits in fruit crops is a high unmet need; however it generally requires time, costs, and special methods or facilities. Recent progress deep neural network (or learning) techniques would allow easy, but highly accurate with single RGB images, the latest applications enable visualization “the reasons for each diagnosis” by backpropagation networks. Here, we pr...

Seed and fruit development are intimately related processes controlled by internal signals and environmental cues. The absence of seeds is usually appreciated by consumers and producers because it increases fruit quality and fruit shelf-life. One method to produce seedless fruit is to develop plants able to produce fruits independently from pollination and fertilization of the ovules. The onset...

the major objective of seedless grape breeding program is production of grapes with high quality. breeding of seedless grapes is difficult because the embryos are aborted after fertilization. embryo rescue technique is utilized to obtain plants from crosses between seedless cultivars. in the present study, the effect of paternal genotypes and different iaa concentrations in presence of ba appli...

Perennial plant breeding is an expensive and time-consuming process, mainly due to the extended growth time for juveniles. In these cases, use of molecular marker-assisted selection (MMAS) allows a characteristic interest at seed or seedling stages. The objective this work was characterize segregation INO locus MMAS early seedless genotypes atemoya 'Gefner' [(G; Annona cherimola Mill. × squamos...
