Notes:
Summary Removal of all but one leaf from pepper plants prevented the senescence of the remaining leaf and caused increases of approximately 140, 200, and 200%, respectively in leaf area, weight, and nitrate reductase activity. Development of the fruit (fresh and dry weight increases) was only approximately 65% of that of fruit on control plants.
