Other claims from this paper (13)
- Observation More than 99% of Alliaria petiolata ovules per plant showed fertilization signs.
- Observation A significant proportion of fruits and seeds failed to mature across treatments.
- Intervention effect Nutrient supplements at flowering did not significantly alter total fruit production relative to controls.
- Intervention effect Removing 50–75% of root tissue significantly reduced fruit set in one year old plants.
- Intervention effect Removing 50–75% of root tissue had no effect on individual seed development.
- Intervention effect Removing cauline leaves significantly reduced most measures of fruit production.
- Intervention effect Removing cauline leaves significantly reduced most measures of seed production.
- Association Fruit position within an infructescence significantly affected seed maturation.
- Association Ovule position within a fruit significantly affected seed maturation.
- Association Basal fruits developed more mature seeds than distal fruits.
- Association Basal ovules developed more mature seeds than distal ovules.
- Intervention effect Removing basal fruits redirected resources to distal fruits that would normally abort.
- Intervention effect The experiments modified resource allocation patterns within fruits and infructescences.
