Effects of Plant Growth Regulators on Fruit Set and Fruit Shape of Parthenocarpic Apple Fruits

The effect of supplementary hand pollination on fruit set and pollen tube growth in apple

Effect of plant growth regulators, fruit thinning, boron and calcium on growth indexs and seed yield of watermelon nuts

Watermelon nuts is widely cultivated in Khorasan Razavi for its edible seed production. Two experiments were therefore, conducted to increase seed production in Bahonar University of Kerman Research Station in 2013 and 2014. In first year, the effects of gibberellic acid (0 and 50 mg/l) and fruit number (1, 2 and 3 fruits /plant) were studied in 4 populations. In second year, the effects of 24-...

Occurrence of gibberellin a(3) in parthenocarpic apple fruit.

The gibberellins 'have ibeen established as effective fruit setting agents (5). In the apple, where auxins are generallly inactive, the gi'bberellins induce parthenocarpy and sustain fruit growth to maturity (2,6, 10). This pronounced fruit-setting activity and the estafblished observation that asymmetric growtth of apple fruit is related to incomplete seed development, -has encouraged investig...

Shade effects on growth, flowering and fruit of apple

Light is a critical resource needed by plants for growth and reproduction. A major portion of the apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) tree’s canopy is subjected to shade during most daylight hours each day and such shade may affect productivity. The current research determined effects of morning, afternoon, and all-day shading on processes that are significant to orchard productivity. In 1996 ‘Gin...

Effects of Harvest Date on Apple Fruit Quality at Harvesting and after Cold Storage

    Different dates for apples fruit harvest (Malus domestica Borkh. Cv. Fuji) were studied to determine physiochemical changes during the storage. Fuji apples were harvested from 9 September till 23 October, at five different times and stored at 0±0.5 °C and 95% relative humidity for 120 days. To determine the best harvest date for maximum quality and storability, physical and chemical paramet...
