What does «fructificación» mean in Spanish?
- Fruit formation. The process of flower set resulting from the conversion of a flower ovary into a fruit.
- Period of time in which the fruit is formed. The fruiting period begins immediately after the end of flowering and after pollination. Fruits form and ripen to produce seeds. Auxins, which are a group of phytohormones, are produced by the forming embryo, act as plant growth regulators promoting the maturation of the ovary walls, thus developing the fruit.
