Effect of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and abscisic acid (ABA) treatments on the composition of ripening classes in low and high seed-to-berry weight (SB) groups. Eight days before the expected mid-véraison, two clusters each on three different plants were treated with 50 mg/L hormone solutions in Tween-20. Control plants were sprayed with 0.01% Tween-20 alone. SB ratio was calculated for each berry of the clusters at mid-véraison and the numbers of green, pink, and red berries in low- and high-SB groups were counted (about 300 berries per treatment). Approximate test for equal proportions was used to identify differences in the distribution of the ripening classes between control and treated and significant differences were marked with asterisks (p < 0.05).
