Comparative plastomics of Amaryllidaceae: Inverted repeat expansion and the degradation of the ndh genes in Strumaria truncata Jacq.

The paper compares plastomes across Amaryllidaceae, identifying structural rearrangements and gene losses, particularly in Strumaria truncata.

Apples before the fall: does shape stability coincide with maturity?

The paper examines when and if fruit shape stabilizes in apple cultivars, finding that stability is cultivar-dependent and occurs late in the growing season.

When do apples stop growing, and why does it matter?

This paper investigates apple fruit development to determine when cultivar-specific features become evident, finding that size morphometrics are reliable for classification of ripened-on-tree and stored fruit.

Can you make morphometrics work when you know the right answer? Pick and mix approaches for apple identification.

The paper evaluates morphometric techniques for apple cultivar classification, finding that combining methods improves accuracy over individual approaches.
