“…Also, weather conditions during floral development may also influence fruit set. Warmer than average temperatures during the spring development of 'Cox's Orange Pippin' apple flowers have been shown at East Mailing to reduce flower quality (Jackson & Hamer 1980). Some researchers have attempted to measure flower quality by collecting flowers one or more days after pollination and recording the position of pollen tubes in the style using ultra violet microscopy techniques.…”

Rootstocks have been used for propagating temperate fruit trees for more than 2000 years. Many of the rootstocks used, as well as providing a simple method of propagation, also affect scion growth, cropping, and adaptability to different environmental conditions. How rootstocks bring about their effects on scion growth and cropping is still not understood. This review describes and discusses some of the many rootstock effects on temperate fruit tree scion growth, vigour, and habit, as well as scion precocity and abundance of flowering and the propensity of flowers to set fruits. Finally rootstock effects on yield efficiency are considered.

“…In general, irregularity of yield is one of the main handicaps in temperate fruit production [3] and has been shown to be due to different problems concerning climatic adaptation and flower development [4][5][6][7][8].…”

--Introduction. 'Orange Red' is an apricot cultivar released in the United States and characterised by large fruit of very good quality for both the fresh market and processing. For this reason, this cultivar is greatly appreciated in Europe, especially in France. However, its production is erratic under Mediterranean climate conditions. Materials and methods. The influence of two rootstocks ('Manicot' apricot and 'GF31' Myrobolan plum) on the productive behaviour of 'Orange Red' was studied under Mediterranean conditions in Murcia (Southeast Spain). Results and discussion. 'Orange Red' grafted onto 'GF31' Myrobolan flowered slightly later than those grafted onto 'Manicot' apricot. However, differences in the date of ripening of fruits were small. On the other hand, the percentage of flower bud retention and levels of floral fertility were higher when 'Orange Red' was grafted onto 'GF31' than onto 'Manicot', resulting in higher yields and fruits with a smaller weight. The increase in flower bud retention of 'Orange Red' grafted onto the rootstock 'GF31' was the main factor responsible for the increase in yield observed with this rootstock. Conclusion. Interaction between the cultivar and rootstock is presented as an interesting strategy for cultivar adaptation to different climatic areas.

“…It was also identified that mean and maximum temperatures are the most important parameters influencing fruit set (Jackson & Hamer, 1980, Jackson, Hamer & Wickenden, 1983. In pear, cold temperatures have been positively correlated to yield in pear (Browning & Miller, 1992).…”

“…The authors concluded that pre-blossom temperatures affect fruit set and subsequent yields and that warmer temperature during flower development has a negative effect on flower viability and fruit set (Rodrigo & Herrero, 2002). Studies have shown clear negative relationships between warm pre-blossom temperatures and fruit set in apple (Beattie & Folley, 1978;Jackson & Hamer, 1980) and delays in the formation of male and female gametophytes resulting in low pollen viability in almonds (Nava, et al, 2009). …”
