Flowering & PollinationCan a leafy mango branch influence floral development on a connected branch?
Experiments support movement of a flowering-promoting influence from leaves to buds through connected branch tissues under inductive conditions. The response depends on physiological connection and experimental context, rather than simple proximity of foliage. This helps explain why a branch cannot always be assessed as an isolated collection of buds. It is evidence about signaling, not a recommendation to strip leaves or cut bark to induce flowers.
