Style length and flower morphology of three eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) cultivars from Iran affected by fruit load

<p>A common feature of eggplant is its heterostyly. Long-style flowers bear fruits whereas short style ones fail to do so. Heterostyly is influenced by some factors such as genotype, climatic conditions and fruit load. In this study three eggplant cultivars from Iran were cultivated under gree...
