14C-sucrose Translocation in Apple1

Year: 1975

Type: article

Abstract: Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) sprays reduced 14 C-sucrose translocation to developing fruit of apple. Malus pumila Mill. Temperature, cultivar, time following application of 14 C-sucrose, and time interval between applications of NAA and 14 C-sucrose each affected sucrose translocation. I concluded that NAA spray caused apple fruit thinning by establishing sinks in vegetative tissue that reduced metabolites reaching the fruit.
