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
