Program Areas — Dr. James Flore, Professor
Fruit - Pomology
The main areas of our research are:
- Carbon assimilation by fruit crops
- Carbon partitioning in fruit crops, c)the effect of biotic and abiotic stress on assimilation and carbon partitioning
- Understanding the response of trees to biotic stress
- Establishing damage thresholds for stone fruit based on a carbon based model
Current Research in biotic stress: We have completed work on the effect of simulated leaf damage for strawberry, apple, and have initiated experiments with cherry.
