Effect of auxin transport inhibition on the abscission of grapevine fruitlets. a Representative image of 40 μM NPA-treated and control clusters. Treatment was performed at 10 and 20 DAF and visual inspection was done 4 days post treatment (DPT). b Estimation of fruitlet abscission in 14 DAF clusters showed in (a). Percentage of fruitlet abscission equals the percentage of 1 minus the ratio of berry number per cluster at 14 DAF and berry number in the same cluster at 10 DAF (see Additional file 3: Table S1). Error bars represent SE of four replicates (clusters). Asterisk indicates that fruitlet abscission rate in NPA-treated berries is significantly different from the corresponding value in control fruitlets (p < 0.05)
