Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect In Leccino, kernel and fruit diameters and mesocarp thickness were higher under light than shade.
- Intervention effect In Leccino, mesocarp cell size was higher under light than shade.
- Intervention effect In Frantoio at 140 DAF, kernel and fruit diameter were higher under light than shade.
- Intervention effect In Frantoio at 140 DAF, dry and fresh weight were higher under light than shade.
- Observation Leccino showed greater sensitivity to light availability than Frantoio.
- Mechanism The higher light sensitivity of Leccino may relate to delayed endocarp lignification relative to Frantoio.
- Intervention effect Within each cultivar, light and shade fruit did not differ in timing of cell differentiation.
- Association Across light regimes, fruit oil content differences correlated with the number of oil-containing cells.
- Observation Leccino mesocarp cells were almost twice the size of Frantoio cells.
- Observation Leccino oil drops were 30% larger than Frantoio oil drops.
- Observation The percentage of cell volume occupied by oil drops was lower in Leccino than Frantoio.
- Observation Chemical analysis confirmed the observed difference in oil storage between cultivars.
