Abstract
SIZE of grape berries was found by Müller-Thurgan in 1898 to be correlated with its number of seeds1. Size of seedless berries could be increased by means of auxins such as p-chlorophenoxyacetic acid2,3 and by gibberellin spray4,5. The sprays had, however, no effect on size of seeded grapes6,7.
