TI - Altered flower retention and developmental patterns in nine tomato cultivars under elevated temperature KW - LYCOPERSICON ESCULENTUM MILL KW - PARTHENOCARPY KW - UNDEVELOPED FLOWERS KW - FLOWER ABORTION KW - HIGH TEMPERATURE STRESS N2 - Moderately elevated temperature effects on flower development were examined in nine tomato cultivars (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). Plants were grown under high (HT, 32/28 .C day/night temperatures)and control (CT, 26/22 .C)temperature conditions. Fate of flowers developed was categorized as seeded fruit, parthenocarpic fruit, undeveloped flowers, or aborted flowers. Although HTdecreased seeded fruit set in all nine cultivars, the degree of sensitivity and the pattern of reaction to the elevated temperature differed among cultivars. FLA7156 was the most tolerant cultivar, although under HT seeded fruit set was less than half that at CT (22.5 UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bEvRGBVhVYl5SQ36416h_wfxC9CURHvF/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
