The study looked at how different night temperatures affect the hormones in melon fruits and their development. They found that certain hormones peak at different stages of fruit growth, and that the hormone levels change significantly with different night temperatures. Specifically, higher night temperatures led to lower levels of certain hormones and slower fruit development. The researchers also discovered a strong link between the ratio of certain hormones and the rate of fruit growth, especially at lower temperatures. Overall, the findings suggest that night temperatures play a crucial role in regulating hormone levels and ultimately impacting fruit development in melons.
