摘要: The effects of four levels defoliation (12, 25, 50, and 75%) individual branches at the time flowering on fruit seed production a shrub, Ligustrum vulgare L., were studied. experimental design also allowed examination extent branch independence, positions leaves removed, influence leaf number production. In contrast with most previous experiments this type, treatments had no effect percentage flowers producing ripe fruits; they phenology abortion or rate. Either fruits filled from stores in stem, other supplied assimilates needed
