J. Egea et L. Burgos, FRUCTIFICATION PROBLEMS IN CONTINENTAL APRICOT CULTIVARS GROWING UNDER MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE - OVULE DEVELOPMENT AT ANTHESIS IN 2 CLIMATIC AREAS, Journal of horticultural science & biotechnology, 73(1), 1998, pp. 107-110
When ovules from continental apricot cultivars growing in two climatic
areas were compared at anthesis, small differences in the degree of d
evelopment were found. All ovules examined at anthesis showed an impor
tant delay in development, being mostly immature. Ovule development co
uld not explain by itself the differences in fructification of contine
ntal cultivars found between the two locations.
