Results showed that the cracking rate and water uptake of the crack-prone berries were significantly higher than those of the crack-resistant berries.

An accurate depiction of the environmental conditions and of the phenological phases on the mango tree throughout the year in the Mediterranean climate is presented. All three cultivars behaved similarly, and differences have emerged between the phenological cycle of mango in the Mediterranean and the one of its traditional cultivation areas: vegetative flushes in the open air happen after flowering rather than after harvest and are less intense. Flowering is consistently anticipated in the greenhouse with respect to open air, beginning before the end of winter, but this does not reflect in an earlier harvest. Mango trees in the open air remain quiescent for many months, while in the greenhouse the fruit development period is prolonged by the high temperatures.

Through morphological observation, measurement of fruit longitudinal diameter and fruit transverse diameter, and fruit shape index analysis of the pear fruit growth and development period, the formation of pear fruit shape during the young fruit period was preliminarily determined. By analyzing the transcriptome data of ‘Huangguan’ and ‘Korla Fragrant Pear’ at the young fruit stage, 8993 differentially expressed genes were obtained, and the majority of the genes were annotated to the plant hormone signaling pathway, among which gibberellin-related genes accounted for 13.4%.

Variegation can be divided into structural-type and pigment-type variegation. Foliar variegation was mostly caused by mutations in plastid genes. Even though there are various studies on foliar variegation in other plants, studies on foliar variegation in orchids are quite limited. This study aimed to determine the variegated leaf phenotype characteristics and their cause in <i>P</i>. ‘Sogo Vivien’. This study observed the anatomy of variegated leaves by comparing the green and white parts of the leaf, measured the concentration of chlorophyll pigments, and detected leaf starch content between both parts. In addition, polymorphism analysis was also performed on the <i>VAR2</i> gene partial sequences. Based on leaf anatomy structure, the difference between variegated zones is only in the number of chloroplasts, the diameter of parenchyma cells, and chloroplasts. The chloroplast diameter within the white part is smaller than the green part. The chloroplasts’ diameters in the green part are two times larger than the white part, with four times more in amount. The two parts were formed due to differences in the distribution pattern of functional chloroplasts in the leaves. The concentration of chlorophyll in the green part is higher than in the white part, a characteristic of the chlorophyll-type variegation. The green parts have more starch grains than the white parts. Stomata distance between variegated zones on the abaxial side is different, and it was suggested as a distinctive character between variegated zones. A thymine insertion in exon 1 contributed to nonsense and missense mutations on the <i>VAR2</i> gene isolated from the white part.
