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...
