Flowering, Pollination, and Fruit Set in Fruit Crops
Focusing on reproductive biology, this chapter discusses the factors influencing flowering, pollination, and fruit set in fruit crops. It explains pollination types, pollinator management, and hormonal regulation of fruit set. The chapter also covers problems like flower and fruit drop and techniques to enhance fruit retention and productivity.Lall, Deepak +3 more

Fruit set, fruit reduction, and fruiting strategy in Cornus sanguinea (Cornaceae)
American Journal of Botany, 1996We studied various aspects of the fruiting biology of Cornus sanguinea (Cornaceae), a fleshy‐fruit‐producing deciduous shrub, in four populations in northwest Spain. One population was studied over a 5‐yr period (1989‐1994), and the remaining populations in 1994 only. Fruit‐set level varied among years (range 11‐18%) and among populations (range 8‐22%),

FRUIT SET AND FRUIT QUALITY AT DIFFERENT CROSSINGS BETWEEN SOUR CHERRY CULTIVARS
Acta Horticulturae, 2000By diallelic reciprocal crossings and open pollination of sour cherry cultivars 'Meteor', 'Oblacinska' and 'Heimanns Konserven', pollination effect (based on fruit set and fruit harvested) and fruit quality (based on fruit weight and stone weight) was established. In all crossings, on average, 'Meteor' as a female parent, had the highest fruit set, but

PATTERNS OF FRUIT-SET: WHAT CONTROLS FRUIT-FLOWER RATIOS IN PLANTS?
Evolution, 1986Fruit-set values for 447 species of plants were examined for variations due to compatibility, breeding system, life form, latitude, type of fruit, and type of pollination. The results indicate significant differences between self-compatible and self-incompatible species in terms of 1) average fruit-set and 2) the effect of the independent variables ...

Fruit Set and Temperature Stress
2014In fruit vegetables, inhibition of fruit set by both high and low temperatures decreases the yield. Because one of the main reasons for fruit abortion is a decrease in pollen viability, which is usually caused by suboptimal mean daily temperature, periodic checking of pollen viability may help to detect and prevent fruit abortion.

Fruit Set, Herbivory, Fruit Reduction, and the Fruiting Strategy of Catalpa Speciosa (Bignoniaceae)
Ecology, 1980Catalpa speciosa regularly initiates more fruits than it matures. Most of the fruits that fail to mature are abscised from 2—5 wk after the flowering period. Catalpa speciosa has a host—specific herbivore, Ceratomia cactic (Sphingidae), which severely defoliates some branches while causing little or no damage to leaves of other branches. The pattern of

Litchi Fruit Set, Development, and Maturation
2017In broad terms, fruit development can be divided into three stages: set, growth, and maturation. The fruit set of litchi are established soon after fertilization except for the parthenocarpic cultivars, which grow fruits without fertilization. In structure, the fruit of litchi is a drupe with an edible aril enclosing a single seed surrounded by a ...

Fruit-set studies in sweet lime
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences, 1964The shy-bearing tendency of Sweet lime trees has been observed due to low percentage of perfect flowers and not due to self-incompatibility as reported by some workers. The results of present studies, to induce a higher percentage of perfect flowers have shown that average fruit-set could be increased to 1·39 per cent by bending and ringing the ...
