Abstract:

Fruit set and yield patterns were studied in detail in six pepper cultivars. Fruit set differed largely between the cultivars: cultivars with small fruits (fruit fresh weight 20 to 40 g) showed higher fruit set (≈50%) than cultivars with large fruits (fruit fresh weight 120 to 200 g; 11% to 19%). The former showed continuous fruit set (four to five fruits/plant/week), whereas the latter showed fluctuations in fruit set. Fluctuations in weekly fruit set, expressed as the ratio between standard deviation of weekly fruit set and the mean of weekly fruit set (cv), were much lower for the cultivars

Abstract:

The apple tree usually has heavy fruit set but to improve the individual fruit size, apple growers reduce the number of fruits by thinning. The present study was carried out to assess yield and quality of apple fruit as influenced by fruit thinning. The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD), with two factors, viz. time of thinning (factor 1) and amount of thinning (factor 2). Factor 1 included thinning after 2 wk of fruit set and 4 wk after fruit set; Factor 2 included one fruit per cluster, two fruits per cluster, three fruits per cluster, and four fruits per

Abstract:

The fruiting phenology of two female and two hermaphroditic carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) cultivars was studied in NE Spain. After flower pollination (September–November), fruit growth followed a sigmoidal curve, with an initial period of slow growth (December–March), a period of linear growth (April–June), and a final period of slow growth and maturation (June–Au–gust). Shedding of flowers and young fruits was high in October–December, and slowed down in January–February. Then, fruit drop again increased until May, and from June to August fruit shedding was almost nil. Fruit initiation was 12.

Abstract:

Date palm is very cultivated in Draa-Tafilalet area (the southeastern part of Morocco). The variety diversity is rich and include commercial varieties such as ‘Majhoul’ and ‘Bouffegous’. Fruit thinning consists of reducing the fruit load of date palm in order to obtain a balance between yield and fruit quality and to avoid alternating production. Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) spray is used on date palm to induce fruit drop. Chemical thinning with NAA has been the subject of several research studies, which have focused on the effectiveness of the operation, the doses used and the periods of its

Abstract:

Thinning, whether mechanical or chemical, prevents the development of some fruits, allowing the remainder to become larger and more marketable. Chemicals used for thinning either prevent fruit set or increase the proportion of fruits that fall in the “June drop”; some, however, are effective even after this drop. The mechanisms involved in blossom thinning are straightforward. Either pollination is prevented, or some of the flowers are injured, causing their abscission. The mechanisms involved in fruit thinning are more complex; physiologists continue to debate the effects of thinning agents o

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, because pollinators are less likely to immediately revisit flowers of a nonrewarding species.

Many tropical fruit trees flower profusely. Majority produce many fruits at the onset. Most of these fruits if not all, may be aborted. African pear is a typical example. In this research, four fruit abortion-prevention treatments were evaluated namely: Distilled water, Urea, Giberellin and Coconut water. Floral and pomological parameters were compared and averaged over a period of three consecutive years. At fruit maturity, number of fruits/inflorescence/branches was counted and compared to test the effects of the various treatments on fruit retention and enhancing its pomological characteris

Abstract:

In cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) male and female flowers’ production rate is not the same in every variety, which is the main cause to create variation in fruit set. Though natural pollinators (honeybees and flies) are significant catalysts in fruit settings, but if genetically the female flower production rate is lower then we cannot expect more fruits from that plant. Knowing the female flower-bearing characteristics of selected cucumber plants is important otherwise cannot expect the desired yield from the plant. Considering the overall issues, a study was conducted for the evaluation of pe

Paypayrola blanchetiana (Violaceae) is a continuous-flowering treelet endemic to the Atlantic rain forest of north-east Brazil. Plants are distributed in localized patches. Flower, fruit and seed production of a total of 86 trees was quantified in six forest fragments, each belonging to one of two categories of size (> 300 ha vs. < 50 ha) and fragmentation history (isolated for c. 25–30 y vs. at least c. 50 y).

Abstract:

Several models of apple tree carbon balance have been developed, including a simplified model by our lab. Tree photosynthesis and total dry matter production is the best characterized except for root growth and root respiration. Once dry matter is produced and partitioned to the different organs (another key problem for modeling), the effects of carbon availability to the fruits on their growth and abscission needs to be modeled. Our approach is based on an observed relationship between increased abscission with decreased fruit growth rate of populations of fruit. From several empirical studie

Abstract Experiments with heavily-flowering olive trees showed only one period of abscission of flowers and fruit in the 5-6 weeks following full bloom. This abscission of flowers and fruit is responsible for the small percentage of fruit retained to maturity. Most of the fruit drop was concomitant with initial fruit growth for all cultivars. There were no differences in the number of fruit per inflorescence among cultivars, but the percentage of inflorescences with fruit at harvest was related negatively to final fruit size for each cultivar.

Abstract:

Abstract Muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) plants primarily are pollinated by honey bees (5) and naturally pollinated fruits contain highly varying percentages of self-pollinated seed (3, 8). Muskmelon breeders often rely on controlled hand pollinations for making out-crosses and self-pollinations in the field; natural pollinators must be excluded from perfect or pistillate flowers until fruit set has occurred. If fruits are set from natural pollination, they often are removed since the presence of fruits on a plant may suppress subsequent fruit set (4).

We assumed that flower anthesis variability was indicative of early competition for carbohydrates, presumedly determinant for fruit set and early growth. From this viewpoint, the fruits resulting from early flowers should be advantaged. In a first step, we described and analysed the pattern of flowering dates within peach trees. In a second step, we studied the relationship between this pattern and the variability of fruit abscission and growth. At the tree level, the flowers started opening from the base towards
