Sink organs, the net receivers of resources from source tissues, provide food and energy for
humans. Crops yield and quality are improved by increased sink strength and source …

Sugar is crucial for grape berry, whether used for fresh food or wine. However, berry
enlargement treatment with forchlorfenuron (N-(2-chloro4-pyridyl)-N′-phenylurea)(CPPU, a …

Abstract Gibberellin A 3 (GA 3) is often used as a principal growth regulator to increase plant
size. Here, we applied Tween-20 (2%)-formulated GA 3 (T1: 40 mg/L; T2: 70 mg/L) by …

Berry firmness is one of the most important quality traits in table grapes. The underlying
molecular and genetic mechanisms for berry firmness remain unclear. We constructed a …

Leaf angle, including leaf petiole angle (LPA) and leaf blade angle (LBA), is an important
trait affecting plant architecture. Anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) genes …

Cluster compactness is a trait with high agronomic relevance, affecting crop yield and grape
composition. Rachis architecture is a major component of cluster compactness determinism …

Exogenous gibberellin treatment can promote early growth of grape fruit, but the underlying
regulatory mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we show that VvDELLA2 directly …

The phytohormone gibberellic acid (GA3) is widely used in the table grape industry.
However, there is a paucity of information concerning the effects of GA3 on fruit quality and …

Compact clusters and small berry size are the major problems associated with the
commercialization of table grapes. The application of gibberellic acid 3 (GA 3) has been a …

BACKGROUND: Grapes (Vitis vinifera) are an important woody crop cultivated in a broad
range of environmental conditions. Grapefruit development is a physiological process …
