The breeding of tropical fruit trees for improving fruit traits is complicated, due to the long
juvenile phase, generation cycle, parthenocarpy, polyploidy, polyembryony, heterozygosity …

Masting, the intermittent and synchronous production of large seed crops, can have
profound consequences for plant populations and the food webs that are built on their …

Yearly yield fluctuations are normal in fruit trees. Yield alternation might be induced by
environmental stresses, but in many fruit tree species yield alternation is an inherent …

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is famous for its sweet flavor and aroma. China is one of the
major mango-producing countries. Mango is known for variations in flowering intensity that …

Most of the popular scion varieties of mango possess alternate/irregular bearing. There are
many external and internal factors assigned, among them carbohydrate reserves, and …

Time series forecasting is a statistical method based on past values of the data to predict
future values with the least predictable error is an essential area of research (Bhardwaj et …

Background Improving yield prediction and selection efficiency is critical for tree breeding.
This is vital for macadamia trees with the time from crossing to production of new cultivars …

Abstract Knowledge is lacking on the effects of associated crops on cocoa productivity in
complex cocoa-based agroforestry systems. Through a generalized linear mixed model, we …

The keystones of resource budget models to explain mast seeding are that fruit production
depletes tree stored resources, which become subsequently limiting to flower production the …

Objective This study is to understand a comprehensive perspective on the molecular
mechanisms underlying alternate bearing in mango (Mangifera indica L.) via transcriptome …
