The study of the morphology of stone artifacts and their spatio-temporal changes in form has gained great importance in Paleolithic archaeology today. This growing attention is due to the prevalent use of advanced multivariate statistical methods in archaeology, the growing connection between archaeologists and the specialists of life sciences (e.g., animal biosystematics) and programming langu...

Fruit shape is one of the most important quality factors in many domesticated plants. In this study, we used bulked segregate analysis (BSA) to identify two sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers linked to fruit shape in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). A segregating F2 population of 130 plants from a cross (B-2-2×Y-3) of B-2-2 with long fruit shape trait and Y-3 with round fruit ...

A plaster statue is an object created from a mold made from a stone statue, for example, and into which plaster is poured and hardened. The delicate shape is lost, however, during the molding process, and an issue arises in that the plaster statue has a smoother shape than does the original statue. Consequently in this research, by applying a sharpening filter to the 3D shape data of a plaster ...

Measuring fruit morphology and color traits of vegetable and fruit crops in an objective and reproducible way is important for detailed phenotypic analyses of these traits. Tomato Analyzer (TA) is a software program that measures 37 attributes related to two-dimensional shape in a semi-automatic and reproducible manner. Many of these attributes, such as angles at the distal and proximal ends of...

Phenotypic diversity within cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is particularly evident for fruit shape and size. Four genes that control tomato fruit shape have been cloned. SUN and OVATE control elongated shape whereas FASCIATED (FAS) and LOCULE NUMBER (LC) control fruit locule number and flat shape. We investigated the distribution of the fruit shape alleles in the tomato germplasm and ...

in order to evaluation of squash (cucurbita pepo) seed yield per fruit and its relations with other characteristics of fruit include: length, diameter, length: diameter ratio (fruit shape), flesh thickness, thousand seed weight and fruit weight, an experiment was conducted using 24 accessions of squash as a randomized complete-block design with three replications. morphological traits were eval...
