- Intervention effect Previously reported CPPU treatment significantly increased Spadona pear fruit size over untreated fruit.
- Intervention effect Previously reported TDZ treatment significantly increased Spadona pear fruit size over untreated fruit.
- Intervention effect Both synthetic cytokinin treatments left stone cell size and number unchanged during pear fruit development.
- Intervention effect Synthetic cytokinin treatment produced significantly smaller pear fruit parenchyma cells than untreated fruit.
- Association Higher pear parenchyma cell numbers correlated with a prolonged division phase, supported by G2 nuclei detection.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that a single CPPU spray enlarges pear fruit diameter by extending pulp parenchyma division.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that a single TDZ spray enlarges pear fruit diameter by extending pulp parenchyma division.
