Other claims from this paper (12)
- Association Flower number per inflorescence was lower with higher pre-budburst temperature.
- Association Flower size increased with higher temperature.
- Association Percent fruit set increased with higher temperature.
- Association Berry size increased with higher temperature.
- Association Fruit set increased with flower size.
- Association Fruit set increased with leaf area per flower.
- Association Berry mass increased with flower size.
- Association Sugar content per berry increased with flower size.
- Observation Yield per shoot varied threefold among treatments.
- Observation Fruit composition showed only minor differences among temperature treatments.
- Mechanism The authors suggest early-season temperature may substantially alter grapevine yield formation.
- Mechanism The authors suggest temperature effects may combine direct floral development and indirect shoot growth effects.
