Does anyone know where I could find data on change in fruit/seed traits such as size, seed mass, fruit color (within a species) with altitude and/or latitude?
Thank you
Hazel
I wish some answer from search,
Influence of fruits Harvest dates on fruit characteristics of two apple cultivars local Sharabi, Anna. Journal Of Tikrit University For Agricultural Sciences Vol (8) No (1) 2008.
Check if these papers you might be interested:
Buccheri M., Di Vaio C., 2004. Relationship among seed number, quality and calcium content in apple fruit. Journal of Plant Nutrition 27, 10, 1735-1746
Boselli M., Volpe B., Di Vaio C., 1995. Effect of seed number per berry on mineral composition in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) berries. Journal of Horticultural of Science, Vol. 70, 3, 509-515,
Boselli M., Di Vaio C., Pica B., 1998. Effect of soil moisture and transpiration on mineral content in leaves and berries of Cabernet sauvignon grapevine. Journal of Plant Nutrition, 21, 6, 1163-1178
from google search you will get lot many publications on this aspect.
Thanks for all your answers, I will check out the papers. Basically I am interested in how altitude affects fruit/ seed size within a species.
look this also this paper:
Di Vaio C., Nocerino S., Paduano A., Sacchi R., 2012. Influence of the growing environment on drupe maturation and olive oil composition. Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture. 93, 5, 1134-1139.
There's a lot of information. For example, see: Journal of Biogeography, 30, 105–128, 2003 and doi: 10.1073/pnas.0501473102.
