Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: In kiwifruit (Actinidia), the number of nodes per shoot is highly variable and is influenced by genotype and environmental conditions. To understand this developmental plasticity, three key processes were studied: organogenesis by the shoot apical meristem during shoot growth; expansion of phytomers; and shoot tip abortion. METHODS: Studies were made of organogenesis and shoot tip abortion...
