Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Low night temperature of 4°C for up to 21 nights caused severe inhibition of tomato seedling growth, increasing with chilling length.
- Intervention effect Sucrose treatment reduced the chilling-induced inhibition of tomato seedling growth.
- Intervention effect Sucrose treatment promoted subsequent recovery of tomato seedlings after chilling.
- Intervention effect Long-term growth inhibition was observed only for tomato plants pre-treated with 0% sucrose and cooled for 21 nights.
- Intervention effect Low night temperature lowered the position of the first inflorescence of tomato in direct relation to duration of exposure.
- Intervention effect Sucrose treatment reduced the effect of low night temperature on the position of the first tomato inflorescence.
- Intervention effect Low night temperature had no lasting effect on the reproductive and productivity responses of the first two tomato inflorescences.
- Intervention effect Low night temperature had no lasting effect on earliness of flowering, potential yield or quality of tomato.
- Intervention effect Sucrose treatment promoted flowering only in the tomato plants cooled for 21 days.
- Intervention effect Sucrose treatment promoted the number of flowers, fruit set and large fruit responses of the first two tomato inflorescences.
