Canopy spraying of abscisic acid to improve fruit quality of different sweet cherry cultivars
(MDPI, 2021)
Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a major role in promoting ripening in sweet cherry, a non-climacteric fruit. Exogenous application of ABA has been performed to study fruit ripening and cracking, but this growth regulator is not ...
Crop size is more important than neighborhood fruit availability for fruit removal of Eugenia uniflora (Myrtaceae) by bird seed dispersers
(Springer, 2011-05)
For a plant with bird-dispersed seeds, the effectiveness of seed dispersal can change with fruit availability at scales ranging from individual plants to neighborhoods, and the scale at which frugivory patterns emerge may ...
Fruit size and yield efficiency of ‘gala’ apples grown in chile depend on winter temperatures and season length
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2019)
The influences of several management practices, as pruning, girdling, chemical and manual thinning on apple fruit size and yield efficiency, are known. Basically, yield improvement is achieved by a successful management ...
The strength and drivers of bird-mediated selection on fruit crop size: a meta-analysis
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2018-02)
In seed-dispersal mutualisms, the number of fruit a plant displays is a key trait, as it acts asa signal for seed dispersers that entails fruit removal and exportation of reproductive units(fruit crop size hypothesis). ...
Crop size, plant aggregation, and microhabitat type affect fruit removal by birds from individual melastome plants in the Upper Amazon
(Springer, 2008-12)
We studied the efficiency (proportion of the crop removed) and quantitative effectiveness (number of fruits removed) of dispersal of Miconia fosteri and M. serrulata (Melastomataceae) seeds by birds in lowland tropical wet ...
A combination of rules govern fruit trait preference by frugivorous bat and bird species: nutrients, defence and size
(Elsevier, 2021-06)
Several hypotheses explain how sensory, anatomical and physiological constraints drive fruit preference in frugivores. Optimal diet theory (ODT) states that frugivores make decisions based on the energy contained in food. ...
Anthropogenic edges, isolation and the flowering time and fruit set of Anadenanthera peregrina, a cerrado savanna tree
(Springer, 2014-05-01)
Fragmentation exposes plants to extreme environmental conditions with implications for species phenology and reproduction. We investigated whether isolation and edge effects influence size, flowering time, fruit set, and ...
Effect of maturity stage and fruit size on the quality of loquat (eriobotrya japonica lindl.) Cv golden nugget, after canning woleand as a puree
(2002)
Fruits from 7 year-old Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) cv. Golden Nugget trees were harvested at three maturity stages, determined by skin colour: dark orange; intense yellow orange; and light yellow orange, and also ...
