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

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.

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.

Seedless Fruit Production by Hormonal Regulation of Fruit Set [PDF]

Nutrients, 2009
Seed and fruit development are intimately related processes controlled by internal signals and environmental cues. The absence of seeds is usually appreciated by consumers and producers because it increases fruit quality and fruit shelf-life. One method to produce seedless fruit is to develop plants able to produce fruits independently from pollination
