Pedicel vascularization and fruit growth
Growth of fruit depends on transport in the pedicel. García-Luis et al. (pp. 755-764) show that both phloem and xylem formation in citrus pedicels are directly related to early fruit growth rate. They also demonstrate that the capacity of pedicel phloem limits neither transport to the fruit, nor growth of fruit.
