GROWTH SUBSTANCES IN FRUIT SETTING AND DEVELOP.MFNT1.2 By JULIAN C. CRANE3 Department of Pomology, University of California, Davis, California Nitsch (112), in his review of this subject in 1953, pointed out that fruit setting and growth were obviously under a control mechanism and presented the evidence for auxin originating in the seed as being the key factor involved. In summarizing the advancement of knowledge in this field for the interven­ ing period, Leopold (74), in 1958, concluded that "fruit setting by growth regulators is a function of their auxin activity."
