Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Normal fruit pericarp growth occurred up to week 4 after pollination.
- Observation Embryo, endosperm and funicle proliferation occurred between weeks 4 and 16.
- Observation Endocarp and exocarp developed between weeks 8 and 16.
- Observation Blank and semi-blank fruits had slower growth and lacked exocarp colouration.
- Mechanism Blank fruits arose from five patterns of ovule degeneration.
- Mechanism Funicle degeneration was the most common cause of blanking.
- Observation Funicle degeneration occurred at pollen-tube penetration or the chalazal end of pollinated and unpollinated ovules.
- Observation Funicular tissue degeneration extended toward vascular bundles.
