“…Goren 1993 and references therein). Thus, there is evidence indicating the involvement of carbohydrate in this process (Goldschmidt 1999). Many data are supported by experiments modifying the sugar availability for growing fruitlets (Mehouachi et al 1995;Iglesias et al 2003).…”

“…Thus, sink activity appears to be very high early in the season in both olive (an evergreen species) and peach (a deciduous species). Spring shoot growth, floral development, anthesis, fruit set, and initial fruit growth in evergreens such as citrus have been shown to demand large amounts of carbon that are provided by a combination of current photosynthesis and carbohydrate reserves (Goldschmidt, 1999). In olive, the role of reserves in the alternate bearing cycle is still unclear, but they are likely to be important early in the growing season for flowering and initial tree growth and later in the season for survival under drought or other extreme conditions (Bustan et al, 2011).…”

“…The effects of bark girdling have been suggested to be due to the transitory blocking of phloem transport from leaves to roots that may increase availability of sugars and hormones above the girdle (Goldschmidt et al 1985;Wallerstein et al 1978;Yamanishi 1995). The enhancement of carbohydrate availability has been associated with an improvement of fruit set and yield of citrus trees (Monselise et al 1972;Goldschmidt 1999;Goren et al 2003). It has been also reported that girdling improves citrus fruit set through the increase of leaf photosynthetic capacity (Iglesias et al 2006;Rivas et al 2007).…”
