Fruit is important for human health, and applying deficit irrigation in fruit production is a
strategy to regulate fruit quality and support environmental sustainability. Responses of …

Xylem flow of water into fruits declines during fruit development, and the literature indicates
a corresponding increase in hydraulic resistance in the pedicel. However, it is unknown how …

The growth and composition of fleshy fruits depend on resource acquisition and distribution
in the plant. In tomato, the pedicel serves as the final connection between plant and fruit …

Paper reviews on the anatomy of berry fruit development by comparative analysis of fruit and
fruit pedicel in tomato combining our results with other authors. We have presented data on …

Xylem water transport from the parent plant plays a crucial role in fruit growth, development,
and the determination of quality. Attempts have been made to partition the hydraulic …

Fruit pedicel is the bridge linking the parent tree and the fruit, which is an important channel
for water and nutrients transport to the fruit. The genetic specificity determines the …

The light microscope has been successfully used in identification of Chinese herbal
medicines (CHMs) for more than a century. However, positive identification is not always …

Many vegetables, including tomato and potato, have high water requirements, so that
supplemental irrigation is necessary for successful production. The predictions are that the …

Dye perfusion is commonly used for the identification of conductive elements important for
the study of xylem development as well as precise hydraulic estimations. The tiny size of …

Conductive tissues are main routes of resource transport, that are crucial for the growth of
fleshy fruit. Yet, very few quantitative data of xylem and phloem areas are available and their …
