Biennial bearing has long been a challenge for perennial tree fruit production. Some
cultivars are more susceptible and can have excessive bloom and fruit set in one year …

Water availability, light, management practices, and harvest time impacts on Coffea arabica
L. yield and bean quality remain uncertain. It was hypothesized that the soil water and light …

Photosynthate partitioning between source and sink is a key determinant of crop yield. In
contrast to sucrose-transporting plants, cucumber (Cucumis sativus) plants mainly transport …

The leaf area-to-fruit ratio (LAFR) is an important factor affecting fruit quality. Previous
studies on LAFR have provided some recommendations for optimal values. However, these …

Olive trees have a unique reproductive pattern marked by biennial fruiting. This study
examined the repercussions of alternate fruit bearing on the water relations of olive trees …

Fruiting shoots are comprised of leaves, fruits, and branches, which determine the grape
yield and the quality of produce. Fruiting shoots are also the important structural unit for …

The study was conducted between 2012-2014 in order to determine the effects of the
training systems on" Deveci" and" Santa Maria" cultivars grafted on Quince A rootstock. The …

In this study, we aimed to understand the synergistic effects of the number of fruit spikes and
leaves between the fruit spikes on fruit quality in cherry tomatoes. We conducted a 2-factorial …

We investigated the effects of fruit load on the photosynthetic characteristics of peach leaves
and fruit quality in nine-year-old '**ahui 6'peach trees. Photosynthetic characteristics …

Although open-central canopy (OCC) is popular in apple (Malus× domestica) orchards in
Loess Plateau of China, its relevant photosynthetic mechanisms have not been elucidated …
