Influence of hormonal chemicals and genotypes on fruit growth of Lycopersicon esculentum Mill
… of hormonal chemicals and different genotypes on fruit growth of greenhouse-grown tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) were examined. Continuous root application of 10nM N⁶-benzylaminopurine in Hoagland's nutrient solution to tomato seedlings of 'Fireball' and 'Red Cherry' significantly …

Relationship of free radical scavenging enzymes to fruit growth, development, ripening, and senescence in 'Red Delicious' apples
… were investigated during different stages of fruit bud growth and development in 'Red Spur Delicious' apples (Molus domestica Borkh.). Changes in the activities of these enzymes were also monitored at harvest and during cold storage in relation to ripening, senescence, and scald development. …

Assessment of fruit growth response to water stress in a super-high-density olive orchard: monitoring, physiological mechanisms and potential use to schedule irrigation.
Olive fruit growth has an important effect on the final yield, and thus, it is important to study its response to water stress, and to know how olive fruits grow under no water restriction. The present PhD. Thesis centered on the fruit growth, and the factors that influence it, such as the root …

'Hass' avocado tree water use and the effects of water stress on fruit development
… water use and the effects of water deficits on fruit development were assessed in New Zealand from 2017 to 2019. Avocado tree water use was quantified by sap flow measurement and the soil water balance method at three sites in the main avocado growing regions of the Bay of Plenty, Whangarei, and …

Carbohydrates in Glycine max (L.) Merr. fruits during early ontogeny
… in the embryos and young developing fruits of 'Essex' soybeans were determined at anthesis and continuing 10 days after flowering (DAF). The embryo was shown to be filled with starch grains which disappeared with development. Digestion of embryo sections with a mixture of α- and …

Determining the water footprint of tomato and butternut production towards enhanced water security at Nwanedi irrigation scheme
… strategies commonly used in different growth stages for both tomato and butternut and those that were specific to each growth stage and crop. At the seeding stage, for example, nursery, seed soaking, and choice of crop variety were the main methods used. In early growth, flowering, …

Physiological studies of bitter pit in apple
… (D) and ’Golden Delicious’ (GD) apple fruit. Multiple spray treatments of CaCl₂ and MgCl₂, combined with paper bag fruit covers, were applied and subsequent bitter pit development examined. The main effect of bags in both cultivars was increased pit development, decreased Ca in fruit …

Characterization of molecular functions of polyamines in fruit development and ripening in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
… amines have been implicated in diverse plant growth and development processes, including seed germination, tissue lignification, organogenesis, flowering, pollination, embryogenesis, fruit development, ripening, abscission, senescence, and stress responses. To elucidate molecular roles of PAs …

Variation in 'Hayward' kiwifruit quality characteristics
… sources and distribution of variation in fruit quality traits within kiwifruit populations and identify opportunities for the management of this variation. Near-infrared (NIR) grading was used as a tool for monitoring fruit quality, and measurements combined with orchard/vine information …

The molecular basis for the initiation of fruit development and parthenocarpy
Parthenocarpy, or seedless fruit development, has an agronomic importance in many horticultural crops. In most fruit, fertilization or seed set usually determines whether fruit growth is sustained. Naturally occurring parthenocarpy results from a genetic lesion that permits fruit to develop in the …

Sensor based determination of the fruit bearing capacity in Malus x domestica (Borkh.) aimed at precise crop load management
One major goal of commercial fruit production is a homogenous fruit quality throughout the whole orchard. For this purpose, crop load management practices in apples intend to reduce the number of fruit per tree in order to (i) optimise the carbon supply to demand balance and the (ii) fruit quality …
