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:

Sink strength as a determinant of dry matter partitioning in the whole plant
TL;DR: A model for dry matter partitioning into generative plant parts, which is based on sink strengths of the organs, is described and the potential growth rate has been shown to be an important parameter that quantitatively reflects the sink strength of an organ.

Influence of Light on Grape Berry Growth and Composition Varies during Fruit Development
N.K. Dokoozlian,W.M. Kliewer +1 more
TL;DR: Potted 'Cabernet Sauvignon' and 'Pinot noir' grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.) grown in a sunlit phytotron were used to study the influence of cluster light exposure during various stages of fruit development on berry growth and composition as mentioned in this paper.

Flower and fruit abortion in sweet pepper in relation to source and sink strength
TL;DR: Although most of the variation in abortion can be related to the source and sink strength of the plant, some effects of competing fruits can only be explained by a combination of competition and dominance.

Growth and productivity of potato as influenced by cultivar and reproductive growth: II. Growth analysis, tuber yield and quality
T. Tekalign,P.S. Hammes +1 more
TL;DR: The field experiment demonstrated that reproductive growth restricts vegetative growth and reduces tuber yield and dry matter content of potato.

A Simulation Model for Dry Matter Partitioning in Cucumber
TL;DR: A dynamic model is developed for the simulation of the daily dry matter distribution between the generative and vegetative plant parts and the distribution among individual fruits in greenhouse cucumber and the growth rate of young fruits was usually overestimated and that of old fruits underestimated, because of dominance among fruits.

A simulation study on CO2 concentration in protected cultivation
A.H.C.M. Schapendonk,P. Gaastra +1 more
TL;DR: Estimates of the production of a typical glasshouse crop were made, as related to climate control in early spring, and economic aspects of additional CO2 supply (independent of the heat demand) are presented.
