Abstract

Pistillate flower abortion (PFA), induced by excessive pollen load on female flowers and leading eventually to their abscission, affects severely fruit set and potential fruit yield in ‘Serr’ walnut variety. Such variety, owing to its nut quality, is extensively planted in Chile and in other walnut-producing areas in the world (California).
