How does peach fruit set on sylleptic shoots borne on epicormics compare with fruit set on proleptic shoots?
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2018-02-22)
Proleptic and epicormic shoots on peach (Prunus
persica) have different growth characteristics that
have management implications for peach production.
Proleptic shoots arise from buds after a ...
A comprehensive study on the main physiological and biochemical changes occurring during growth and on-tree ripening of two apple varieties with different postharvest behaviour
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)
