Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Low temperature decreased flower size growth rate.
- Intervention effect Only low temperature appreciably delayed anthesis.
- Intervention effect Partial defoliation simulated the effects of low light intensity.
- Mechanism Low light effects appeared to be mediated through photosynthesis.
- Mechanism Temperature acted directly on flower bud processes.
- Association Progress toward anthesis appeared independent of assimilate availability.
- Mechanism Flower developmental control may regulate assimilate partition between flower and shoot.
- Association Seasonal variation in flower development is attributed largely to flower bud temperature.
