High <strong>seed</strong> <strong>count</strong> was often associated with low <strong>fruit</strong> length-to-width ratio<br />
<strong>in</strong> all <strong>cultivars</strong> except ‘Nabella’. Fruits with a higher <strong>seed</strong> <strong>count</strong> had a bigger<br />
diameter <strong>in</strong> relation to length.<br />
