Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect High temperature significantly influenced the stage from flower differentiation to flower bud emergence in tomato.
- Intervention effect Under high temperature, the total pollen amount in that period was only 30% of the highest pollen amount measured under 30%～35% RH in tomato.
- Observation Pollen germination rate of tomato was only 16%.
- Observation Pollen tube length of tomato was only 17.5 μm.
- Intervention effect Increasing RH to 85–90% increased the pollen amount by 60% in tomato.
- Intervention effect Increasing RH to 85–90% could raise pollen germination rate to 50% in tomato.
- Intervention effect Increasing RH to 85–90% allowed pollen tube length of tomato to reach up to 100 μm.
- Intervention effect Raising relative humidity was favorable to tomato plant growth under high temperature.
- Intervention effect High humidity could increase plant biomass and leaf area of tomato.
