Journal ArticleDOI
Carbohydrate cycling in relation to shoot growth, floral initiation and development and yield in the avocado
TL;DR: Carbohydrate levels, shoot growth, floral initiation and yield were studied in 10 avocado trees of the cultivar ‘Fuerte’ over 2 years from March 1976 to April 1978, showing a marked biennial bearing cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flowering and fruit-set response to temperature in the avocado cultivar 'hass'
M. Sedgley,C.M. Annells +1 more
TL;DR: The most suitable temperature regime for floral behaviour, pollen tube growth and embryo development was 25 20, and the ovules at 17 12 had an embryosac penetrated by a pollen tube.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of low temperatures during flowering on floral cycle and pollen tube growth in nine avocado cultivars
M. Sedgley,W.J.R. Grant +1 more
TL;DR: Maintenance of fertility under low-temperature conditions during flowering appeared to be partly, but not entirely, linked to the type A flowering cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced pollen tube growth and the presence of callose in the pistil of the male floral stage of the avocado
TL;DR: It is suggested that reduced pollen tube growth in the pistil of the male floral stage of the avocado is associated with the presence of callose, which occurred earlier in pollinated than in unpollinated pistils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pollen tube growth in macadamia
TL;DR: Pollen tube growth in macadamia was studied by fluorescence microscopy, with some self-incompatibility, with pollen tube growth arrested in the style of cultivars ‘Kakea”, ‘Keauhou’, ’Hinde’ and ‘Renown’.
