External quality parameter | Scoring metric |
|---|---|
Achene number | Number of achenes visible, without disturbing calyx |
Calyx size | Maximum Euclidean distance between any pair of points on the calyx |
Colour | Scale 1–8 (strawberry colour chart for experimental ends, Ctifl, France) |
Height | Dimension of fruit from centre of calyx to tip of nose |
Length | Greatest dimension of fruit orthogonal to the height |
Width | Greatest dimension of the fruit orthogonal to both height and length |
Volume | Volume of displaced water when fruit was completely submerged |
