), we measured the DM and leaf area of the remaining five seedlings in each treatment group. We calculated the relative growth rate (RGR, d −1 ), net assimilation rate (NAR, g·m −2 ·d −1 DM basis), and leaf area ratio (LAR, m 2 ·g −1 ) after

-3000 leaf area meter (LI-COR Inc.). Samples were dried at 80 °C to a constant weight and weighed. Growth analysis parameters, including the relative growth rate (RGR), net assimilation rate (NAR) and leaf area ratio (LAR), were calculated from the total

period between the two measurements. Net assimilation rate (NAR) was calculated as RGR divided by LAR during the period. Leaf weight ratio (LWR) was calculated as LAR divided by SLA. Results Effect of breeding in Dutch cultivars. Harvest of fruit was
