TLDR
Potential techniques for improving the setting and retention of fruit include varietal selection, withholding of nitrogen fertilization during flowering and early fruit growth (to reduce vegetative flushing), and the maintenance of plant moisture status (irrigation, overhead misting and windbreaks).About:

Genetic Diversity in Different Morphological Characteristics of Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.)
TL;DR: In the present work, genetic diversity in morphological characteristics of four cultivar of litchi growing under the agro-climatic conditions of Multan was studied and variation in the characteristics has been discussed.

A Reevaluation of Tree Model, Inflorescence Morphology, and Sex Ratio in Lychee (Litchi Chinensis Sonn.)
TL;DR: The architecture of the lychee tree and the structure of the inflorescence are described according to the terminology of Halle et al. and Weberling.

Application of the polyamine putrescine increased yield of ‘Mauritius’ litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.)
Raphael A. Stern,Shmuel Gazit +1 more
TL;DR: During the last six years, it has been studied the effect of putrescine, applied at the beginning of female bloom, on ‘Mauritius’ fruit yield, and a significant yield increase, of about 50%, was obtained with all treatments.

Gas exchange in litchi under controlled and field conditions
Jer-Chia Chang,Tzong-Shyan Lin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the gas exchange of 3-year-old potted litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) plants were measured under controlled conditions, and the potential depression of leaf photosynthetic efficiency was found due to low temperature in bloom season and early fruit set, as well as due to hot and dry mid-day in early summer.

The effect of temperature on growth and dry matter production of lychee seedlings
C.M. Menzel,B.F. Paxton +1 more
TL;DR: The assessment of lychee seedlings for low vigour in a heated glasshouse appears to be a useful technique for the initial screening of adapted genotypes (which flower and fruit under warm conditions) prior to field evaluation.

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
The control of floral initiation in lychee: A review
TL;DR: An alternative approach involves a critical study of manipulative techniques which restrict vegetative flushing and promote vegetative dormancy under non-inductive conditions, i.e. cincturing, applying growth retardants and withholding irrigation and fertilizers.

The Effect of Temperature on Floral Behaviour, Pollen Tube Growth and Fruit Set in the Avocado
TL;DR: The rate of pollen tube growth increased with a rise in temperature, but abnormal growth was frequently observed at 33/28 and tubes failed to reach the ovary at 17/12, and endosperm and embryo development was observed to occur at 25/20 but not at33/28 or 17/ 12 although a positive effect of...

TL;DR: The growth curves of pericarp, seed and aril, and the fruit as a whole were typically sigmoidal and the developing embryo seemed to inhibit aril growth at a certain stage of development.
