title: [Growth curve of Siraitia grosvenorii and correlative analysis of seed and growth of fruit].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To establish the growth curve of Siraitia grosvenorii and analyze the correlation between seed and growth of fruit.
  
  
  METHODS
  The growth curve fitting function was applied for the study of correlation between seed and fruit growth.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The significant positive correlation existed between seed and horizontal diameter x vertical diameter, not between seed and flesh weight of single fruit.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The growth curve is a reciprocal function, and seed is one of major factors to influencing the size of fruits and the shape of fruit.
