A classification taking into account synchrony/asynchrony and duration in foliation, flowering, fruit ripening and seed dispersal phases allowed comparison of species' phenological plasticity.
This suggests that fruit ripening is more likely a function of the individual reproductive budget than an environmental cue or seed disperser availability.
Specific weight is largely determined by the environment during grain filling and grain ripening.
We asked whether computational analysis would be useful for the representation of panicle topology and asynchronous and differential processes involved with ripening.
Sucrose metabolism related to growth and ripening in sugarcane internodes.
Generally, survival, growth and development were significantly superior for larvae reared in the ripening fruits of the fresh market cultivar.
As the analogy of the seeds ripening into fruit suggests, this improvement is not revolutionary, but is to be built gradually on existing society.
The present results suggest that elongation parameters are reliable indicators of time of ripening.
