POSTHARVEST CALYX RETENTION OF CITRUS FRUIT [PDF]
Abscission is an active developmental process occurring at the abscission zone of the fruit peduncle. The target cells in the abscission zone, which are involved in the process of separation, are located in the separation layer, which is organized in a few cellular layers. In general, it is accepted that the increase in ethylene production in the fruit

Effects of Foliar-applied Boron on Fruit Retention, Fruit Quality, and Tissue Boron Concentration of Pecan [PDF]
Previous studies with a variety of tree species have demonstrated enhanced flowering, fruit set, and yield with foliar boron (B) applications. The effects of foliar-applied B on pecan [ Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch] in the southeastern United States are poorly understood. This study

CALCIUM AND ETHEPHON EFFECTS ON PAPRIKA PEPPER FRUIT RETENTION AND FRUIT COLOR DEVELOPMENT [PDF]
While ethephon [(2-chloroethyl) phosphonic acid] has increased yields of red fruits, its use as a pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) fruit ripening agent has been limited by premature fruit abscission and defoliation. We tested ethephon solutions of 0, 1500, 3000, 4500, and 6000 μl·liter -1 with or ...
