Fruit growth of cucumber in relation to assimilate supply and sink activity
TLDR
Assimilate distribution in Cucumis sativa, cultivar ‘Farbio’, was studied during 36 days after emergence of the inflorescense in the 5th axil to formulate a hypothesis that relates the dynamics of fruit growth to assimilate supply and the sink activity of individual fruits.About:

Modelling in the search for balance between inputs and outputs in greenhouse cultivation.
TL;DR: In this article, the power of simulation models is demonstrated in two contrasting cases relevant for protected cultivation, where the integration of knowledge obtained in studies at the level of the whole plant is able to provide an adequate basis for a generic description of dry matter partitioning in indeterminately growing crops.

Cucumber ovaries inhibited by dominant fruit express a dynamic developmental program, distinct from either senescence-determined or fruit-setting ovaries.

TL;DR: The FFI effect was documented in both fertilized and parthenocarpic ovaries, and the three fates of the ovaries were characterized by wide changes in gene expression, with several specific transcripts being up- or down-regulated in response to pollination, and to the presence of inhibitory fruit.

Plant growth regulators: one of the techniques of enhancing growth and yield of Bangladeshi local cucumber variety (Cucumis sativus).
TL;DR: Local cucumber variety ‘Baromashi’ was used and PGRs showed the opposite effect on the time required for the first flowering where male flower needed more time and female flower required less time compared to the untreated plants, and total yield might be directly related to the number of branches as well as with thenumber of female flowers in local cucumbers.

TL;DR: La biomasa fresca de tallo/planta y seca de hojas/plant disminuyó al aumentar la densidad de plantas, pero aumentó en las plantas con poda a dos tallos/plants, y los mejores rendimientos de pepino fueron positivamente influidos tanto por the densidad of plantas como por the poda de tallos.

The Relationship Between the Rates of Carbon Transport and of Photosynthesis in Tomato Leaves
TL;DR: In this article, the carbon balance of a mature tomato leaf was measured over a 6-h period from a tomato leaf and the rate of carbon transport based on this carbon balance was measured under a range of net photosynthetic rates.

Assimilate Source-Sink Relationships in Capsicum annuum L. I. The Dynamics of Growth in Fruiting and Deflorated Plants
TL;DR: Net assimilation rates of fruiting plants exceeded those of deflorated plants, and these differences appeared to be associated with alterations in assimilate demand, indicating that leaves of these plants retain their photosynthetic capacity long after full expansion.
