Expansion, apoplastic solutes, and sugar uptake in developing strawberry fruit

Creator:

Pomper, Kirk W. (Kirk William)

Abstract:

Identification of factors that affect water and sugar transport in strawberry could aid in attempts to influence fruit size and quality. Apoplastic water potential (Ψaw) gradients within the strawberry plant, that could influence water and assimilate transport, were identified. Fruit expansion was very sensitive to water stress and occurred when...

Influence of irrigation and plant population on yield parameters, flower and pod abscission, and photosynthate distribution in snap beans, Phaseolus vulgaris L.

Creator:

Mauk, Craighton Stiles

Abstract:

During 2 seasons effects of high and low irrigation (water applied at -0.6 and -2.5 bars soil water potential, respectively) and density were evaluated on yield parameters and flower/pod development at mainstem nodes 2 and 6 (terminal) of 'Oregon 1604', a determinate snap bean. High and low plant densities were...
