Fruit production is primarily dependent on the formation of floral buds and on the success of flowers blossom and their pollination (Bewley et al. 2000). In addition, it depends on the development of pollinated flowers and their retention on
the plant throughout the growth and development of fruits. Higher number of buds theoretically means higher production. The control of floral bud number is genetically controlled and, consequently, is related with the success of
plant breeding in economically explored plants. Photoperiod might alter the genetic expression and cause a decrease or increase in the number of buds per plant. Depending on the plant type, after flowering, adequate temperatures will be necessary for fruit growth.
