Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect 3,5,6-TPA application advances fruit maturation of peach, depending on the fruit development stage at treatment.
- Intervention effect Treatment at pit hardening made fruit reach the climacteric stage earlier.
- Intervention effect Treatment at pit hardening allowed fruit to be harvested earlier.
- Intervention effect Treatments a few days before climacteric increased ethylene production.
- Intervention effect Treatments a few days before climacteric did not affect fruit growth.
- Intervention effect 3,5,6-TPA treatment did not reduce the number of fruits per tree.
- Intervention effect Applying 3,5,6-TPA locally to a small number of fruits per tree can also advance fruit maturation.
