New preprint of the PhD thesis of Stephan David! 🍓Strawberry development in everbearing and seasonal flowering strawberries under different day length. #PlantScience #Strawberry @hortproductphyswur.bsky.social @wurplant.bsky.social

Not really, we have it inside, in shade, and high humidity (bathroom)... 😬

Check out my Tillandsia, its flowering!! #PlantScience

Lab BBQ!! What a great team!

Yup, that's it

Weight loss revisited: Tomato weight loss modelling as affected by genotype, relative humidity and temperature Weight loss is an important subject in horticulture. We propose a kinetic model, consisting of two processes to describe tomato weight loss. The first…

1st paper of PhD student Linfang Xie about weight loss in tomato fruit was accepted! 🍅 A kinetic modelling approach to predict postharvest weight loss.
