Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Bending stress raised ethylene concentration in apple stems, peaking about two days after bending.
- Observation Apple stem growth was depressed about 14–21 days after the ethylene rise.
- Intervention effect Naphthaleneacetic acit paste caused a similar increase in apple stem ethylene.
- Intervention effect Ethephon paste inhibited apple stem elongation growth.
- Intervention effect Mechanical stress inhibited apple stem diameter growth and elongation.
- Intervention effect Ethephon application stimulated apple stem diameter growth.
- Mechanism The authors suggest ethylene involvement in apple growth responses to mechanical stress.
