TLDR
Daily shrinkage of fruits was measured over a wide range of vapour pressure deficits of the air with potted apple trees cultivar ‘Cox's Orange Pippin’ and it was found that reverse flow of water to other parts of the tree was the main factor determining the degree of fruit shrinkage during the day.About:

Developmental changes in the diurnal water budget of the grape berry exposed to water deficits
TL;DR: The diurnal water budget of developing grape (Vitis vinifera L.) berries was evaluated before and after the onset of fruit ripening (veraison) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Field evaluation of water transport in grape berries during water deficits
TL;DR: In this article, the net flow in vascular and transpirational components of the grape berry water budget was evaluated during water deficits imposed at different stages of fruit development, and the results showed that berry transpiration functioned as the primary pathway for water loss both pre- and post-veraison.

Stem water potential and apple size.
A. Naor,Isaac Klein,Israel Doron +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, two drip irrigation treatments, 440 mm (H) and 210 mm (L), were applied to a 'Golden Delicious' apple orchard during cell enlargement stage (55-173 days after full bloom).

Growth and Water Transport in Fleshy Fruit
TL;DR: This chapter provides an overview of the water relations of fleshy fruits as they relate to the process of fruit growth, particularly in grapes, and presents experimental measurements of fruit water balance, whole fruit osmotic potential, and intact fruit cell turgor in the grape berry.

Sap Pressure in Vascular Plants: Negative hydrostatic pressure can be measured in plants.
TL;DR: A method is described which permits measurement of sap pressure in the xylem of vascular plants, and finds that in tall conifers there is a hydrostatic pressure gradient that closely corresponds to the height and seems surprisingly little influenced by the intensity of transpiration.

Diurnal Pattern of Water Potential in Woody Plants
TL;DR: Variations in water status during the day were most clearly related to changes in evaporative demand of the air and were different for the east and west sides of a tree.

Surface Conductance and Water Balance of Developing Apple (Malus pumila Mill.) Fruits
Hamlyn G. Jones,K. H. Higgs +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relative magnitude of the various components of the water balance of developing apple fruits are described, and a method is described for the measurement of fruit surface conductance in the laboratory or the field.

Diurnal Changes in Diameters of Fruits and Tree Stems of Montmorency Cherry
TL;DR: Diurnal expansion and contraction of fruits and tree stems of Montmorency cherry were studied during various stages of fruit development, and the amount, time, and ending of daily shrinkage were correlated with conditions affecting transpiration.

The intake curve for calcium into apple fruits under various environmental conditions
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of a few environmental factors on calcium intake into fruits was studied in potted trees (cv. Cox's Orange Pippin and Schone van Boskoop) kept under either fully controlled or outdoor conditions.
