e1“Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) applied as a spray to apple ( Malus domestica Borkh.) trees, entire limbs, or foliage only, reduced fruit retention but, when applied to fruit only, retention was unaffected”
e2“Excised fruits from NAA-sprayed trees took up less 14 C-sucrose and lost less 14 C-indoleacetic acid than those from unsprayed trees”

Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect NAA sprayed on trees, limbs or foliage reduced apple fruit retention
- Intervention effect NAA applied to fruit only did not change apple fruit retention
- Intervention effect Silver nitrate sprays did not alter the effect of NAA on apple fruit retention
- Intervention effect Galactose spray did not affect apple fruit retention
- Intervention effect Excised fruits from NAA-sprayed trees took up less 14 C-sucrose than fruits from unsprayed trees
- Intervention effect NAM reduced 14 C-sorbitol translocation more than 14 C-sucrose translocation
- Intervention effect NAA reduced 14 C-sorbitol translocation more than 14 C-sucrose translocation
- Intervention effect Ethephon reduced 14 C-sorbitol translocation more than 14 C-sucrose translocation
- Intervention effect NAM affected 14 C-sucrose and 14 C-sorbitol translocation but NAA or ethephon did not
- Intervention effect Additional 25% shade during two cloudy days reduced retention of Delicious fruitlets
- Mechanism A small reduction of metabolites available to young fruit may adversely affect apple fruit retention
