S. COCUCCI; M. COCUCCI; C. POMA TRECCANI Physiologia Plantarum 1976. doi:10.1111/j.1399-3054.1976.tb02260.x
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Drought left nighttime squash fruit growth normal.
- Intervention effect Under drought, daytime fruit growth declined progressively.
- Association Reduced daytime growth did not correspond to fruit tissue dehydration.
- Association Reduced daytime growth was accompanied by polysome conversion to monosomes.
- Intervention effect The reduced RNA and protein content did not affect nighttime growth rate.
- Mechanism Authors suggest that water availability controls fruit growth through protein synthesis.
- Mechanism Under ample water, another factor or water availability may limit fruit growth.
