Title: Digital Imaging; A Useful Technique for Analyzing Fruit Shape in Pears
Authors: A.G. White and D.G. Bailey
Abstract:
Ratios of fruit height to width parameters are useful in describing the characteristic fruit shapes of cultivars and the genetic variability witnin pear breeding populations. The use of digital imaging provides a quick and accurate method of describing fruit shape in pears. Ratios for fruit height to width at 7 different positions were calculated for 8 pear cultivars.
