Flowering Newsletter 2023

Rainer Melzer. J Exp Bot. .

Abstract

The word 'fruit' is derived from the latin 'fructus' which itself is said to be derived from 'frui', which means to enjoy. Along those lines, I hope this year's Flowering Newsletter brings a lot of joy, because fruits and seeds feature in multiple articles.

Keywords: Apomixis; auxin; carpel; crops; ethylene; flowering time; fruits; seeds; senescence; sperm cells.
