Key Findings
- Researchers at Univ Angers developed a new method to measure red-flesh color intensity and distribution in apples
- The new method uses advanced imaging techniques and statistical models to capture color variations more accurately
- This approach helps identify genetic factors influencing red-flesh color and can aid apple breeders in developing new cultivars
