Change in fruit surface area (cm²) and rate of surface expansion (a and a inset) with time (days after full bloom, DAFB). Percent of skin with russet in developing fruit (b) calculated from a defined area of the fruit cheek. The same fruit was photographed at 100, 156, and 216 DAFB (see arrows). Pictorial representation of russet progression in a developing ‘Apple’ mango fruit (c1–c3). Scale bar is 10 mm. Data represent means ± SE of 19 replicates.
