Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Fruit growth depends on highly coordinated hormonal activities. The phytohormone gibberellin (GA) promotes growth by triggering degradation of the growth-repressing DELLA proteins; however, the extent to which such proteins contribute to GA-mediated fruit development remains to be clarified.
Detailed explanation-2: -The early NAA spray (May) thinned 14% of the fruitlets and increased the size of the remaining fruit [6]. Gibberellic acid by itself does not seem to be able to completely control creasing [61].
