Other claims from this paper (6)
- Method / resource A decision tree model with Gini index-based variable selection identified thirteen fruit shape categories in eggplant.
- Method / resource Ten key attributes that largely determine eggplant fruit shape were identified.
- Method / resource Five other methods (random forest, XGBoost, SVM, K-means and GMM) were less robust for fruit shape classification than the decision tree.
- Observation Four QTLs controlling Fruit Shape Index (FSI) and Proximal Angle Micro (PAMi) were detected in eggplant using GWAS and QTL-seq.
- Intervention effect Overexpression of the candidate gene SmFSI3.1 / SmFL in tomato resulted in elongated fruits.
- Mechanism The authors interpret the tomato result as indicating a positive role of SmFSI3.1 / SmFL in regulating fruit elongation in eggplant.
