The use of spatially explicit models (SEMs) in ecology has grown enormously in the past two
decades. One major advancement has been that fine-scale details of landscapes, and of …

Fruit development involves chloroplast development, carotenoid accumulation and fruit
coloration. Although genetic regulation of fruit development has been extensively …

The melon fruit surface groove (fsg) not only affects peel structure and causes stress-
induced fruit cracking but also fits consumers' requirements in different regions. In this study …

The stripe pattern is an important agronomic trait in watermelon, which determines the fruit
rind pattern and consumer choice. However, the genes controlling these traits are still …

Abstract The Seed Dispersal Syndrome Hypothesis (SDSH) posits that fruit traits predict the
main dispersers interacting with plant species. Mammalian dispersers, relying heavily on …

Pollination is an important ecological process. However, plant and pollinator needs are not
always met. Commonly, pollen limitation reduces seed set or bees experience nectar dearth …

Global change has become a major ecological concern that has the potential to dramatically
alter plant distributions and assemblages worldwide. The specific response of plants to …

Rind pattern is one of the most important appearance qualities of watermelon, and the
mining of different genes controlling rind pattern can enrich the variety of consumer choices …

Flowering plants exhibit a wide variation in the resources they invest in dispersal structures
(dispersal investment), but the environmental correlates still remain unclear in many cases …

Field survey was conducted in ten farms in Northern Region from December 2014 to April
2015 to collect, identify and access the insects distribution on the cashew farms close to …
