Abstract:
Methods and materials for producing walnuts with improved characteristics including: increased whole nut size, kernel size, shell size and hull size, and increased fruit set are disclosed. Treatments with 28-homobrassinolide (HBR) and in some cases, HBR with forchlorofenuron (CPPU), increase walnut whole nut size, kernel size, shell size, hull size, and fruit set in Serr and Chandler walnuts. Additionally HBR affects the pollen tube growth rate and germination percentages which may relate to increased fruit set and size. Presumably the increases are related to the effect of HBR on pollen load, and possibly also with embryonic development and stimulation of cell division. These results can be generalized to additional PGRs: epi-BL, CA, and HCS and mixtures thereof with CPPU. Increase in fruit set or seed size are both factors that directly correspond to higher yields; making these PGRs effective treatments for increasing walnut crop yield and ultimately walnut crop profitability.

Claim (Index 2):
The solution of  claim 1  further comprising forchlorfenuron.
