Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Among several growth regulators examined, GA3 alone induced parthenocarpic fruit in the Okubo peach cultivar at 500 or 1000ppm applied at the balloon stage.
- Intervention effect GA3 induced parthenocarpy in 3 of the 6 peach cultivars tested.
- Intervention effect GA3 had no effect on parthenocarpy in the remaining 3 peach cultivars.
- Association The percentage of parthenocarpic fruit set increased with increasing GA3 concentration.
- Intervention effect Repeated applications of GA3 gave higher percentages of parthenocarpic fruit set in peach.
- Intervention effect A single GA3 application at the balloon stage had no effect on growth of parthenocarpic fruit at three concentrations.
- Intervention effect Repeated GA3 applications early in fruit growth had pronounced effects on parthenocarpic fruit growth, even at a low concentration.
- Intervention effect Fruit quality of GA3-induced parthenocarpic peach fruit was almost identical to that of pollinated fruit.
- Intervention effect GA3 at 1000ppm applied within 30 days after emasculation let non-pollinated peach fruit continue further growth.
- Observation Mesocarp thickness showed little or no difference between seeded and parthenocarpic peach fruits.
- Observation Cell number and cell size differed to some extent between seeded and parthenocarpic peach fruits.
- Observation Tissue thickness of pits and pit cavity was smaller in parthenocarpic peach fruit than in seeded fruit.
