Other claims from this paper (7)
- Association Field fruit set ratings correlated significantly with greenhouse fruit set.
- Observation Most AVRDC selections, Beaverlodge lines, Nagcarlan and Red Cherry were considered heat tolerant.
- Association Small-fruited, abundantly flowering genotypes were less affected by heat than larger-fruited cultivars.
- Observation Red Cherry and PI 190256 were exceptions to the pollen fertility decline.
- Observation Stigma browning and exsertion occurred commonly in most lines.
- Observation Pollen fertility under high field temperatures was primarily additively controlled.
- Observation Fruit set under high field temperatures was primarily additively controlled.
