Limitations to fruit set in macadamia [PDF]

open access: possible, 2023
The identification of factors which limit fruit set and yield in the Australian native tree crop, macadamia, was the primary objective of this study. The effects of supplementary cross-pollination on pollen tube growth, and initial and final fruit sets of macadamia racemes with varying flower numbers were examined, extending previous studies of ...

Fruit set, development and maturation.

2021
Abstract This chapter describes the guava fruit as well as the fruit set, growth, drop, harvesting, yield and quality (total soluble solids, total acids and ascorbic acid). Understanding the phenological cycle of guava and the effect of management practices on yield and fruit quality allows management practices to be modified to develop ...

Fruit Set and Temperature Stress

2014
In 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.

PATTERNS OF FRUIT-SET: WHAT CONTROLS FRUIT-FLOWER RATIOS IN PLANTS?

Evolution, 1986
Fruit-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, Herbivory, Fruit Reduction, and the Fruiting Strategy of Catalpa Speciosa (Bignoniaceae)

Ecology, 1980
Catalpa 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

Effect of pollen age on fruit set, fruit weight, and seed set in three orchid species

Canadian Journal of Botany, 1998
The length of time that pollen remains viable after being removed from the anther may be subject to species-specific selection pressures, e.g., when the average transit time between anther and stigma is long, long-lived pollen may be favoured. Flowering plants that provide no reward to pollinators are predicted to have relatively long-lived pollen ...
