Published: 2010

Summary: The objectives for this project were: 1. Document role of fruit developmental history at key stages (i.e., flowering, thinning, fruit maturation) and management interventions in fruit quality 2. Map fruit quality and position within high resolution 3D digital canopies 3. Develop practical strategies for reducing variability and maximizing genetic potential.
