Abstract
Absorption, transport and redistribution of calcium in higher plants is summarized.
Requeriments and roles of the element both at the molecular and physiological level are discussed.
A review of the literature on the occurence of blossom‐end rot is presented next as well as a summary of the factors which influence the disorder.
After drawing the conclusion that lack of calcium in the fruit is the immediate cause of blossom‐end rot an attempt is made to present a conciliatory picture of the apparently divergent data and ideas found in the literature sampled for review.
