Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Fruit SDH activity varied more than twofold among apple cultivars in interval 1.
- Association SDH activity was not correlated with apple fruit relative growth rate.
- Association SDH activity was not correlated with cortex TSC level.
- Association SDH activity was negatively correlated with cortex sorbitol level.
- Intervention effect Defoliation slowed apple fruit growth.
- Intervention effect Girdling slowed apple fruit growth.
- Intervention effect Defoliation reduced fruit SDH activity to nondetectable levels.
- Intervention effect Girdling reduced fruit SDH activity to nondetectable levels.
- Association Growth resumption was accompanied by substantial SDH activity.
- Mechanism SDH activity appears cultivar-specific and may be influenced by sorbitol availability.
- Mechanism SDH likely contributes to carbohydrate accumulation but activity alone may not determine cultivar-specific growth rate.
