Concentrations of myo-Inositol, xylose, citrate and succinate in apple fruit tissues during fruit development and in response to fruit load reduction. The treatment was performed at 11 d after full bloom. Mean and S.D. are displayed (n = 4). CC: Control fruit load-Cortex; CP: Control fruit load-Pith; RC: Reduced fruit load-Cortex; RP: Reduced fruit load-Pith. Asterisks indicate significant difference between CC and RC fruit tissues (α = 0.05). Shaded regions in the background indicate early (dark grey), mid (light grey), and late fruit development (white) periods
