Abstract
Hawkins and Harvey, Rosenbaum and Sando, and Hawkins and Sando have used a modified Joly balance fitted with a puncturing needle to determine the force necessary to puncture the cells of the potato tuber, tomato, and certain smaller fruits. For the penetration of these tissues a relatively small force is necessary.
