Morphospace of theoretical apples generated using inverse PCA with values for the measured 534 apple accessions indicated along PC1 and PC3.
Thanks to all these co-authors including students who assisted in California!
This difference affects the basal part of the leaf, near the petiole, known as the petiolar sinus.
We also find differences in shape that are associated with the root system (rootstock) and location of the grapevines.
We found clear differences between Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay leaves.
This study measures variation in leaf shape across 1,879 leaves from different combinations of grafted grapevines sampled from vineyards in the Central Valley of California.
Population genomic analysis of 1,054 diverse apple accessions. The plot shows a Principal components analysis of genome-wide SNP data, with accessions coloured by harvest date and with shape representing species. The accessions with higher PC1 and PC2 values are darker purple indicating that they have later harvest dates.

This is a graphic with a strawberry and apple on it as well as a strand of DNA. It reads "How can we use genomics to breed tasty and nutritious fruit?" 2 MSc opportunities at Acadia University (Wolfville, Nova Scotia).
