Plants were harvested 171 days after transplanting, which corresponds to ideal ripe red fruit stage suitable for harvesting.
Significant positive correlations between % seasonal damage and % damage at harvest were obtained for all phenological stages, while negative correlations between % seasonal damage and tomato yield occurred from fruit setting to 20% red fruit stage.
Artificial infestations with neonate larvae (0 16 larvae per plant) were conducted at each of eight crop growth stages (from fruit setting to 60% red fruit stage) in large-cage field trials following a randomised-complete-block design.
Ripened fruit stage had a negative influence with rainfall during current months (rs = −0.54, P < 0.006) and a 1-month (rs = −0.40, P < 0.05) lag period, and minimum temperature had a negative influence during a 1-month (rs = −0.45, P < 0.03) lag period.
In this study, VC not only increased growth attributes such as biomass production, plant height and leaf area but also improved fruit yield, mean fruit weight, and the contents of soluble sugar and vitamin C. Notably, chlorophyll content and net photosynthetic rate increased significantly at the white fruit stage.
An observer cannot definitively know when a monkey has detected a fruit (stage 1).
However, this accumulation only occurs within a certain phase of cellular development – in this case, during the young fruit stage, when the capacity is high for synthesis and low for recycling.

It was quite low at the pink fruit stage, and peaked at the white fruit stage.
Five stages and their DGE accession numbers deposited in GEO were: fruit stage 1 (GSM825779), fruit stage 2 (GSM825780), fruit stage 3 (GSM825781), fruit stage 4 (GSM825782), and fruit stage 5 (GSM825783).
Both AP2D15 and AP2D26 transcript levels increased from early fruit stage (30 DAFB) through to ripe fruit stage (150 DAFB) in both apple cultivars.
