Effect of LAB 198999 on weight and endogenous GA content (ng g fresh weight−1) of pollinated fruits
Fruits were collected 10 d after pollination (8 and a half days after 1 mm LAB 198999 application). Fruit weight data are means of 26 (−LAB) and 31 (+LAB) fruits, and GA data from three biological replicates (aliquots of about 5 g each) ±se.
| Weight | GA1 | GA8 | GA19 | GA20 | GA29 | GA44 | GA53 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
