, a key tropical and subtropical economic tree in the Oxalidaceae family, is distinguished by its unique pentagram-shaped fruit. This study investigates the developmental processes shaping the polarity of fruit and their underlying hormonal and genetic mechanisms. By analyzing the Y1, Y2, and Y3 developmental stages-defined by the fruit diameters of 3-4 mm, 4-6 mm, and 6-12 mm, respectively-we observed that both cell number and cell size contribute to fruit development.

- 'Purpurea' is important for landscaping, but understanding its genetics and traits is challenging due to a lack of effective transformation methods.
- The study found that specific factors like the type of plant material, acetosyringone concentration, and co-culture time significantly affect successful genetic transformation.
- The best results came from a precise combination of conditions, leading to a transformation efficiency of 9.88% and allowing for the quick production of transgenic plants in 79 days.
