Dear Dr. Sprague, We are writing to draw your attention and that of your readers to the need for harmonization of numerical results in veterinary medicine. It is common for patients to be seen in a variety of practice settings in which different laboratories may be used. This is true for patients tested by in-clinic analyzers and/or analyzers used in commercial/reference laboratories.

INTRODUCTION Improvements in agronomic and nutritional features necessitate a thorough understanding of the major molecular factors involved in flower and fruit development. High throughput sequencing technologies providing high-resolution spatiotemporal gene expression data, together with mutant analysis and hormone profiling have been major factors behind advances in dissecting the molecular pathways of these fundamental processes (Meir et al. 2021).
