). Transport of sugars and amino compounds in the phloem is accomplished by osmotically generated hydrostatic pressure differences between the source and sink ( Lalonde et al., 2003 ). Adequate K favors phloem loading by improving adenosine triphosphate

translocated from the source to fruit sink in the Cucurbitaceae family, including Cucumis melo ( Chrost and Schmitz, 1997 ; Mitchell et al., 1992 ). The near absence of raffinose and stachyose in the melon fruit flesh points to the rapid hydrolysis and

cucumber do not consider daily temperature variations ( Augustin, 1984 ; Marcelis, 1994a ). One likely reason is that these models estimate fruit growth on the basis of daily sink/source relations. The source here is the assimilate pool recharged by

defined as a process of redistribution of assimilated resources among the interconnected ramets according to source-sink relationships ( Forde, 1966 ; Kaitaniemi and Honkanen, 1996 ; Marshall, 1990 ). Physiological integration is an important means by

, transport of photoassimilates from source tissues via the phloem to sink tissues, and stress tolerance ( Doman and Geiger, 1979 ; Marschner, 1995 ; Pettigrew, 2008 ; Usherwood, 1985 ). Deficiencies of K are associated with a number of economically

(2005) posit that the lack of a direct causal relationship between the source-to-sink ratio and accumulation of TSS makes this difficult to assess and forecast. Indeed, we did not find a difference on basic fruit chemistry at harvest in the 2 years and

( Costes et al., 2008 ). But L-PEACH is the first model to simulate growth and carbon source–sink relationships within the architectural framework of a peach tree over multiple years. Moreover, L-systems allow multiple interactions with the model

causality. It is possible that inherently low vigor reduces growth and sink demand for vegetation, leaving more sources available for fruit set and reproductive growth. In fact, many studies show that reducing vigor, by dwarfing rootstock ( Avery, 1970
