PHYSIOLOGICAL STUDIES ON THE GROWTH OF TEMPERATE FRUIT CROPS (WALNUT AND CHERRY): A REVIEW

Fruit crops grown under temperate regions are basically adopted to the climate of winter-summer where it can be observed that winter is relatively cold however the summer is seen as moderately mild. This review deals with the physiological growth of the temperate fruit crops. Basically, Walnut and Cherry is reviewed in terms of physiological growth. In Walnut physiological responses of the trees for determining the necessary time for the photosynthetic adaptation to plantation thinning was studied. Also, growth and effect of abiotic stress caused by drought is also discussed here. In cherry under the physiological studies, the cracking and the effect of salinity stress which affects the growth, quality and yield of the sweet and sour cherry is also discussed in this article.
