Higher calcium (Ca) concentration in several fleshy fruit including kiwifruit is a pre‐requisite
for lower incidence of Ca‐related diseases and improved fruit nutritional value. This review …

Sustaining the fourfold increase in blueberry (Vaccinium sp.) production witnessed during
the previous two decades requires better understanding of its mineral nutrient physiology …

A number of studies have shown a transition from a primarily xylem to a primarily phloem
flow of water as fleshy fruits develop, and the current hypothesis to explain this transition …

During the latter stages of development in fleshy fruit, water flow through the xylem declines
markedly and the requirements of transpiration and further expansion are fulfilled primarily …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between xylem functionality,
calcium (Ca) deficiency and the incidence of bitter pit (BP) in 'Fuji'and 'Catarina'apples (low …

Calcium (Ca) is an essential plant nutrient involved in determining fruit quality of several
fruits, including kiwifruit. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of …

Calcium (Ca) uptake into fruit and leaves is dependent on xylemic water movement, and
hence presumably driven by transpiration and growth. High leaf transpiration is thought to …

Key message Flow in the phloem increased in developing sweet cherry, whereas xylem flow
continuously decreased resulting in a fruit water potential that was independent from the tree …

The relative contributions of xylem, phloem, and transpiration to fruit growth and the daily
patterns of their flows have been determined in peach, during the two stages of rapid …

In view of growing requirements of the food industry regarding elderberries (genus
Sambucus), a need to increase their productivity and improve their chemical composition …
