- Intervention effect Tomato flowers grown in low light did not show invigorated growth after low temperature exposure.
- Intervention effect Poorly manured tomato plants showed only slight flower growth promotion after low temperature exposure.
- Mechanism The authors attribute low-temperature-promoted tomato flower growth to reserve nutrients made available by restricted vegetative growth.
- Mechanism The authors attribute low-temperature-induced fasciated tomato flowers to surplus nutrient supply to young buds.
