Source-sink relationships in fruit species: A review

Abstract: Fruit production and quality depend on adequate source-sink relationships. Carbohydrates (CH) translocated from leaves or reserve organs are the most important for the growth and development of sink organs (mainly fruits). Up to 60% of CH produced daily can be lost through respiration. Carbohydrates constitute over 65% of the dry matter of tree crops. Increasing the leaf-fruit ratio generally increases fruit growth and CH content. Photosynthesis increases with fruit load and the leaves next to fruits are stron… Show more

“…Pineapple guava is an "evergreen" fruit; therefore, its chlorophyll content and photosynthetic and carbohydrate production capacity is important (Gariglio et al, 2007). In addition, photosynthesis in the adjoining leaves near fruit that grow under good lighting is promoted by the attraction of photoassimilates of the fruit (Fischer et al, 2012).…”

“…Casierra-Posada et al (2007) encontraron que los sólidos solubles totales fueron mayores cuando en el raleo se dejaron 40 y 50 hojas por fruto, debido a que con esta práctica se afecta la relación fuente-vertedero y Fischer et al (2012) afirman que una calidad alta del fruto requiere una relación adecuada entre hojas y fruto (número de hojas, área foliar por fruto o unidad peso seco del fruto).…”

“…En algunos casos, esta disminución es causada por el desconocimiento de prácticas de manejo adecuadas, la falta de estudios que ayuden a comprender el crecimiento y el desarrollo del vegetal en la zona (que corresponde a un bosque seco tropical [bs-T]), teniendo como base el reconocimiento y la caracterización de la interacción de las plantas con el medioambiente, el cual modula los patrones de crecimiento, que influyen en aspectos fundamentales, como su fisiología, maduración y la calidad de sus frutos (Fischer, Almanza-Merchán, & Ramírez, 2012).…”
