Fig. 3. Growth curves of basal (filled symbols) and tip (open symbols) fruits measured in the competition (A and C) and pruned (B and D) experiments for the CF14-L (A and B) and CF12-C line (C and D). Individual points are experimental data measured on 12 different fruits for each treatment. Full and broken lines represent the non-linear adjustment of a three-parameter Gompertz function for basal and tip fruits, respectively (R² > 0·98 in all cases; standard error of estimate = 0·6–1·12).
