Sink-Source Relationships in Fruit Trees

  • Chapter
Plant Regulation and World Agriculture

Part of the book series: Nato Advanced Study Institutes Series ((NSSA,volume 22))

Abstract

Investigations of the effects of fruit (mainly citrus) on growth, flower formation, water consumption, nutrient uptake, photosynthesis, and respiration of plants are reviewed. The main emphasis is on photosynthetic efficiency of leaves as affected and perhaps regulated by fruit.
