After the crop had ripened, crop density was assessed at each location by counting the number of tillers within a 0.1 m2 quadrat.
Topological variation in ripening involves more than asynchronous flowering, because ripening processes proceed differentially among grain positions.
Seeds of springfruiting species are dispersed immediately after ripening.
The difference between the rates of mass flowering and mast fruiting are probably due to massive fruit failure or high fruit set and ripening.
In general, trees lost their leaves, flowered, and produced new leaves as fruits ripened.
Relationships between ripening phase productivity and crop duration, canopy photosynthesis and senescence in transplanted and direct seeded lowland rice.
Alpha-tomatine levels in ripening fruits increased further in the cherry and processing tomatoes but remained absent from the fresh market cultivar (table 1).
However, ripening caryopses contain several living tissues in addition to the aleurone layer.
