The treatment the plant in the picture received is called “air layering” that is used for propagation. You wound the stem you want to propagate, then wrap it with something moist. This leads to roots developing on that stem while it is still attached to the larger plant.
I’m not familiar with using this method to induce fruit production and it didn’t look like they used air layering in the paper.

Not going to lie, I didn’t really follow that.

Where’s air involved? Sounds like things traveling through plant vasculature.
