Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Mean trichome length increased from anthesis until petal fall.
- Observation Mean trichome length decreased by a factor of 10 from petal fall to fruit ripening.
- Observation Pubescence density showed a major decrease on ripe fruit.
- Mechanism The dense appearance of pubescence at petal fall may be due largely to increased trichome length.
