Moreover, physiological disturbances during early embryo development lead to seed abortion and fruitlet abscission. |
Formation of phloem and early xylem was directly related to fruitlet size. |
As the number of king blossoms decreases, so will the average diameter of the fruitlet decrease. |
In the bagged experiment, fruitlet formation was never observed, suggesting that no agamospermy takes place, and that pollination is critical for fruit set. |
Black spots initiated from the seed became apparent on some of the fruits at the beginning of June, and about two weeks later an intensive abscission of fruitlet begun that ended at the beginning of July. |
Delay of early fruitlet abscision by Branco girdling in Citrus coincides with previous increases in carbohydrate and gibberelin concentrations. |
