Intervention effect Ground cover decreased vine net photosynthesis relative to soil tilling.
Observation Tall fescue had the lowest net photosynthesis in both years.
Observation Soil tilling had the highest net photosynthesis in both years.
Mechanism The reduction in photosynthesis was interpreted as regulated by a non-stomatal mechanism.
Intervention effect Grass-covered plots reduced pruning material weight, shoot growth and leaf area per vine in both years.
Intervention effect Groundcover reduced vine yields, especially Tall fescue.
Intervention effect Groundcover lowered cluster number.
Intervention effect Groundcover lowered cluster weight.
Intervention effect All grass covers reduced time between veraison and harvest, especially fescue.

Other claims from this paper (10)

Observation Drought response traits were heritable.
Observation Some drought response traits were under selection, including earlier flowering.
Observation Selection patterns generally were not opposite under wet and dry conditions.
Observation No individual or closely linked genes influenced multiple traits.
Association Genetic correlations usually had little influence on responses to selection.
Observation Direct and indirect selection were largely congruent.
Association Correlations predicted seed mass under drought would evolve opposite to direct selection.
Association Yield increased with fecundity.
Observation High-fitness, high-yield drought breeding lines also had high fitness and yield in wet conditions.
Association Expression of multiple genes influenced both water-use efficiency and first flowering date.

European, Chinese and Japanese pear fruits exhibit differential softening characteristics during ripening

K. Hiwasa Journal of Experimental Botany 2004. doi:10.1093/jxb/erh250

Other claims from this paper (19)

Observation 'La France' fruit softened and developed melting texture during ripening.
Observation 'Yali' firmness and texture did not change during ripening with or without propylene.
Intervention effect Continuous propylene gradually decreased 'Nijisseiki' firmness and produced a mealy texture.
Observation 'La France' pectin and hemicellulose solubilized and depolymerized during softening.
Intervention effect Propylene caused limited pectic polysaccharide solubilization and depolymerization in 'Nijisseiki'.
Intervention effect Propylene did not cause hemicellulose solubilization or depolymerization in 'Nijisseiki'.
Observation 'Yali' hemicellulose polysaccharides depolymerized during ripening.
Observation 'Yali' pectic polysaccharides hardly changed except in the water-soluble fraction.
Observation PC-PG1 and PC-PG2 were expressed in 'La France' fruit during ripening.
Observation Only PC-PG2 was expressed in 'Nijisseiki'.
Observation Neither PC-PG1 nor PC-PG2 was expressed in 'Yali'.
Observation PC-XET1 expression was constitutive during ripening in all three pear types.
Observation PG activity by reducing sugar assay increased in all three pears during ripening.
Observation Endo-PG activity was high in 'La France'.
Observation Endo-PG activity was low in 'Nijisseiki'.
Observation Endo-PG activity was undetectable in 'Yali'.
Association Cell wall degradation correlated with decreasing pear firmness during ripening.
Mechanism Modification of pectin and hemicellulose is suggested as essential for melting texture in pears.
Mechanism Different endo-PG activity and PG gene expression may explain different pear softening behaviors.
