Molecular regulation of seed and fruit set [PDF]

Trends in Plant Science, 2012
Seed and fruit set are established during and soon after fertilization and determine seed and fruit number, their final size and, hence, yield potential. These processes are highly sensitive to biotic and abiotic stresses, which often lead to seed and fruit abortion.

Post-Bloom CPPU Application Is Effective at Improving Fruit Set and Suppressing Coloration but Ineffective at Increasing Fruit Size in Litchi

Horticulturae, 2022
This study aimed to provide a reference for the practical use of forchlorfenuron (CPPU) in the improvement of fruit set and quality (especially size) in litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.). CPPU at 5 mg/L was sprayed to fruit clusters of ‘Feizixiao’ at 2, 4,

Somatic variants for seed and fruit set in grapevine. [PDF]

BMC Plant Biol, 2021
Abstract Background Grapevine reproductive development has direct implications on yield. It also impacts on berry and wine quality by affecting traits like seedlessness, berry and bunch size, cluster compactness and berry skin to pulp ratio. Seasonal fluctuations in yield, fruit composition and

Genetic differences in fruit-set patterns are determined by differences in fruit sink strength and a source : sink threshold for fruit set [PDF]

Annals of Botany, 2009
Fruit set in indeterminate plant species largely depends on the balance between source and sink strength. Plants of these species show fluctuations in fruit set during the growing season. It was tested whether differences in fruit sink strength among the cultivars explained the differences in fruit-set patterns.Capsicum was chosen as a model plant. Six

Flowering, fruit set and development.

, 2017
Abstract In this chapter, flower biology and fruit set in cherry, sweet (Prunus avium) and sour (Prunus avium), are examined, paying attention to the critical steps that result in failures in fruit set. For this purpose, a chronological timeline is followed. First, flower development is examined in relation to dormancy.

Determination of the effects of bumblebee (Bombus terrestris), hand, and natural pollination on fruit set, yield, and quality in pitaya (Hylocereus spp.) cultivation under subtropical conditions [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Background Pollination plays a key role in determining fruit set, yield, and fruit quality, particularly in regions outside the crop’s native habitat where natural pollinators may be insufficient. Commercial pitaya (Hylocereus spp.) production in Türkiye

Impact of pollination strategies on fruit set and fruit growth attributes in jasmine

Journal of Horticultural Sciences, 2022
Jasmine occupies predominant position among the flower crops in India in terms of area, production and productivity. The demand for jasmine flowers is growing day by day owing to its wide range of uses and there is a pressing need for improving the crop

Nectar microbes may indirectly change fruit consumption by seed-dispersing birds

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2023
An increasing number of recent studies show that nectar-inhabiting microorganisms influence plant fitness by mediating interactions between plants and pollinators.

Auxin and ethylene regulation of fruit set [PDF]

Plant Science, 2020
With the forecasted fast increase in world population and global climate change, providing sufficient amounts of quality food becomes a major challenge for human society. Seed and fruit crop yield is determined by developmental processes including flower initiation, pollen fertility and fruit set.
