Abstract
The osmotic potential and development of apple and peach floral and vegetative buds and tissue were determined pre- and post-bloom. Apple and peach floral and vegetative buds were removed pre-bloom and the osmotic potential and bud development measured pre- and post-bloom. The osmotic potential of vegetative and floral buds was related to the phenology of bud development. Developing buds had a lower (more negative) osmotic potential than dormant buds. Removal of peach floral buds lowered osmotic potential and increased vegetative bud development and early leaf growth rate. Removal of peach vegetative buds, however, reduced fruit bud development, fruit growth, and embryo survival. Osmotic potential was an index of sink activity during the pre- and post-bloom stages of development.
