Flower and fruit abortion in sweet pepper in relation to source and sink strength [PDF]
Source strength (assimilate supply) and sink strength (assimilate demand) of the plant were varied in different ways to investigate to what extent flower/fruit abortion in sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is determined by the availability of assimilates. Source strength was varied by changing the light level, plant density, and leaf pruning.

Bunch Weight Determination in Relation to the Source-Sink Balance in 12 Cavendish Banana Cultivars [PDF]
This study was carried out to compare bunch weight determination in relation to the source-sink balance in a selection of 12 Cavendish banana cultivars. Fruit number and individual fruit weight are the main bunch weight components. The fruit number depended on the growth potential during floral induction, which we estimated according to the active leaf

Agronomic performance of late-season rice in South China
Improving rice yields is critical for global food security. China is a major rice-producing country having two rice cropping systems, i.e. single-season rice cropping system and a double-season system with both early- and late-season rice.

The effects of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide on shoot-root nitrogen and water signaling
Terrestrial higher plants are composed of roots and shoots, distinct organs that conduct complementary functions in dissimilar environments. For example, roots are responsible for acquiring water and nutrients such as inorganic nitrogen from the soil ...

Review on the impact of elevated CO2concentrations on fruit species in the face of climate change
Since the industrial revolution, anthropogenic activities have increased atmospheric CO2concentration—one of the major causes of global warming—with a 600 to 700 ppm prediction by the end of this century.
