Elucidating the sugar import pathway into developing kiwifruit berries (Actinidia deliciosa)
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)The aim of this work was to investigate the roles of the apoplasmic and symplasmic pathways in the delivery of solutes to the outer pericarp of developing green-fleshed kiwifruit berries (Actinidia deliciosa [A. Chev.] C. ... -
An external heat pulse method for measurement of sap flow through fruit pedicels, leaf petioles and other small-diameter stems
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)The external heat ratio method is described for measurement of low rates of sap flow in both directions through stems and other plant organs, including fruit pedicels, with diameters up to 5 mm and flows less than 2 g h⁻¹. ... -
Flowering of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) is reduced by long photoperiods
(RSNZ Publishing, 2007)Mature kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa ‘Hayward’) vines grown under standard orchard management were exposed to 16-h photoperiods from the longest day in summer until after leaf fall in autumn. Photoperiod extension was ... -
The Functional Significance of Black-Pigmented Leaves: Photosynthesis, Photoprotection and Productivity in Ophiopogon planiscapus ‘Nigrescens’
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Black pigmented leaves are common among horticultural cultivars, yet are extremely rare across natural plant populations. We hypothesised that black pigmentation would disadvantage a plant by reducing photosynthesis and ... -
Hydraulic resistance of developing Actinidia fruit
(Oxford, 2013)Background and Aims Xylem flows into most fruits decline as the fruit develop, with important effects on mineral and carbohydrate accumulation. It has been hypothesized that an increase in xylem hydraulic resistance (RT) ...
