The development and ripening of fruit represent a dynamic interplay of genetic programs, phytohormone signalling, and epigenetic regulation. These processes transform a seed-bearing structure into an ...

Parthenocarpy—the development of fruit without fertilisation—represents a significant adaptation in horticultural crops, ensuring yield stability especially under challenging environmental conditions.

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 ...

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 ...

Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis), renowned for its nutritional richness and aromatic fruits, is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions. Passion fruit can not only be harvested ...
