The role of auxin and gibberellin in tomato fruit set [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2009
The initiation of tomato fruit growth, fruit set, is very sensitive to environmental conditions. Therefore, an understanding of the mechanisms that regulate this process can facilitate the production of this agriculturally valuable fruit crop. Over the years, it has been well established that tomato fruit set depends on successful pollination and ...
