TLDR
Applying synthetic auxins to the main cherry cultivar grown in the warm climate of Israel caused appreciable and significant increases in fruit size and total yield, except when the crop load was heavy.About:

Endoreduplication and Growth of Fleshy Fruits
Matthieu Bourdon,Matthieu Bourdon,Nathalie Frangne,Elodie Mathieu-Rivet,Elodie Mathieu-Rivet,Mehdi Nafati,Mehdi Nafati,Catherine Cheniclet,Jean-Pierre Renaudin,Christian Chevalier +9 more
TL;DR: This chapter aims at reviewing the current knowledge on fleshy fruit development and addresses the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in their growth, with a special emphasis on the cell expansion associated process of endoreduplication, with tomato fruit as the model species for fleshy fruits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fruit pit hardening: Physical measurement during olive fruit growth
TL;DR: A mechanical device is used to measure the physical pressure required to break the olive pit in order to define the timing of pit hardening more precisely and to permit closer observation of its relationship to fruit and endocarp growth and development.

Consumer acceptance of ‘Brooks’ and ‘Bing’ cherries is mainly dependent on fruit SSC and visual skin color
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between titratable acidity (TA) and visual skin color on "Brooks" and "Bing" cherries has been investigated and it was shown that the highest percentage of American consumers would buy cherries based on dark skin color without regard to ethnic group or gender.
