Knowledge of both sex and maturity stage without killing fish is important from many aspects. The establishment of accurate sex and maturity determination without external sexual dimorphism or when external characters are not developed has usually involved the use of either hormone radioimmunoassay or biopsy techniques. These methods are time and labor consuming as well as harmful to fish. Ther...

The orientation of this research was to evaluate the classic parameters regarding the external and internal quality of tomato fruits cv. 'Brilliant' at different stages of maturity and to define the dynamics of their changes during the ripening in storage at 18 C. Principal component analysis (PCA) and multivariate canonical discriminant analysis (DA) were used to classify tomato samples accor...
