苹果不同品种果实原花青素含量及其动态变化

用香草醛-盐酸法测定了苹果(Malus domestica Mill.)5个品种的幼果和成熟果原花青素含量,并对品种‘富士'和‘新红星'果实发育期间原花青素含量的变化动态进行了研究.结果表明,苹果幼果富含原花青素,5个品种含量在8.46～13.90 mg*g-1(FW)之间,以品种‘金冠'最高,‘乔纳金'次之.苹果成熟果实原花青素主要存在于果皮中,含量达4.232～7.307 mg*g-1(FW),果肉中含量为0.525～1.034 mg*g-1(FW),以品种‘新红星'和‘富士'最高.‘富士'和‘新红星'果实发育期间原花青素含量变化动态基本一致,发育早期果皮原花青素含量呈增加趋势,5月底达最高值,之后下降,7月中旬以后基本稳定;果肉原花青素含量一直呈下降趋势,8月中旬以后基本保持稳定.     

晚熟芽变脐橙在果实成熟阶段与原品种在糖酸代谢的差异

奉节晚橙(Citrus sinensis) (FW)为奉节72-1脐橙(FJ)的一个晚熟芽变品种, 比原品种成熟期推迟1个月以上. 测定了两个品种在成熟阶段果肉和果皮的糖组分(蔗糖、葡萄糖和果糖)和酸组分(苹果酸和柠檬酸)的含量, 并分析了相关代谢酶基因的转录情况. 结果表明, FW中的糖分和酸代谢受到芽变的影响. FW果肉组织中的各糖分含量在花后227天前显著低于FJ, 不过在花后263天则显著高于后者. FW果肉中的蔗糖合成酶基因(CitSS1)的表达比原品种延迟, 而酸性转化酶基因(CitAI)的表达水平在花后207和263天高于原品种. 在FW果皮组织中, 仅有蔗糖含量在果实成熟早期(花后165和187天)显著低于FJ, 不过蔗糖相关裂解酶基因与后者相比在成熟时期不同阶段表现出较高的表达水平. 分析两品种酸代谢变化发现, 芽变品种果肉中苹果酸含量在整个果实成熟期都显著低于原品种, 不过在果皮中则显著低于后者; FW 果皮和果肉中柠檬酸的含量在果实成熟前期高于FJ, 但是在果实成熟后期则低于后者. 柠檬酸含量差异部分与柑橘线粒体柠檬酸合成酶基因高量表达及柑橘质体乌头酸酶基因的低水平表达相关. 明确了芽变品种在果实成熟过程中糖酸代谢相关指标的差异变化, 可以认为发生在FW中的突变影响了其糖酸代谢, 这种代谢的变化可能与其他晚熟特征相关.

Effects of boron fertilization on `Conference' pear tree vigor, nutrition, and fruit yield and storability

The aim of the study was to examine the response of pear (Pyrus communis L.) trees to soil and foliar applications of boron (B). The experiment was carried out during 2000–2001 in a commercial orchard in Central Poland on mature `Conference' pear trees grafted on Pyrus communis var. caucasica seedlings planted at a spacing of 4 × 2.5 m on a sandy loam soil with a low hot water-extractable B status. Annually, foliar sprays with B were applied. (i) before full bloom (at green and white bud stage, and when 1–5% of flowers was at full bloom), (ii) after flowering (at petal fall, and 7 and 14 days after the end of flowering), or (iii) postharvest in fall (approximately 6 weeks before leaf fall). Spray treatments involved application of B at a rate of 0.2 kg ha^–1 in spring or 0.8 kg ha^–1 in fall. Additionally, other trees were supplied with soil-applied B at the bud break stage at a rate of 2 kg ha^–1. Trees untreated with B served as the control. The results revealed that foliar applications of B before full bloom or after harvest increased fruit set and fruit yield. Tree vigor, mean fruit weight, firmness, soluble solids concentration and titratable acidity of fruits at harvest were not affected by B treatments. Foliar B sprays before full bloom or after harvest increased B concentrations in flowers, and both leaves and fruitlets at 40 days after flowering. Only the foliar treatments after flowering and soil fertilization with B increased the content of this microelement in fruit and leaves at 80 and 120 days after full bloom. Foliar B application before full bloom or after harvest increased calcium (Ca) in fruitlets at 40 days after full bloom, in fruit, and in leaves at 80 and 120 days after full bloom. Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and magnesium (Mg) in plant tissues were not affected by B fertilization. After storage, and also after the ripening period, fruits from the trees sprayed with B before full bloom or after harvest had higher firmness and titratable acidity than those from the control trees. After the ripening period, fruits from the trees sprayed with B before full bloom or after harvest had lower membrane permeability and were less sensitive to internal browning than the control fruits. These findings indicate that prebloom and postharvest B sprays are successful in increasing pear tree yielding and in improving fruit storability under the conditions of low B availability in the soil.     

Concentrations and characteristics of procyanidins and other phenolics in apples during fruit growth

Apples (Malus domestica Borkh.) of two table and two cider cultivars were collected during fruit growth and maturation from the end of cell proliferation. Concentrations of flavonoids (flavan-3-ols, dihydrochalcones and flavonols) in the fruit flesh decreased sharply between circa 35 and circa 100 days after flowering. For hydroxycinnamic acids, the decrease appeared slower. In a second experiments apples of the cider cultivars Kermerrien and Avrolles were sampled every 2 weeks from 40 days after flowering to overripeness for a detailed characterisation of polyphenol accumulation kinetics in the fruit flesh. Most polyphenol synthesis had occurred at 40 days after full bloom, though it persisted at a low (Kermerrien) to very low (Avrolles) level during all the fruit growth. All qualitative characteristics of the polyphenols were remarkably stable. The degree of polymerisation of the procyanidins increased slightly in Avrolles and decreased in Kermerrien. This was accompanied by a relative increase in procyanidin B2, while size-exclusion chromatography of Kermerrien polyphenol extracts showed the disappearance of a highly polymerised fraction.     

Influence of timing and prey availability on fruit damage to apple by Campylomma verbasci (Hemiptera: Miridae)

Campylomma verbasci Meyer is a zoophytophagous mirid that feeds on small arthropods as well as apple (Malus domestica Borkhausen) fruits, causing economic damage to some cultivars. The influence of timing and prey availability on the amount of fruit damage was studied to determine whether either factor could be used to refine a management program. C. verbasci nymphs were caged on branches of fruiting 'Golden Delicious' apple trees during the period from bloom through early fruit set. The greatest amount of fruit damage occurred during the bloom period; little or no damage occurred after fruit reached approximately equals 13 mm in diameter. The availability of prey did not reduce the incidence of fruit damage by C. verbasci, nor did it influence the survival of nymphs. Nymphal survival was higher, however, in cages where a blossom or fruitlet was present versus a vegetative spur. These data support the hypothesis that post petal fall insecticide applications (those made after the fruit is greater than approximately equals 10-13 mm in diameter) are not useful in preventing economic levels of fruit damage in Washington State, and that petal fall applications would only prevent a fraction of the total amount of damage by this pest. The data from this study do not support the hypothesis that manipulating arthropod prey species of C. verbasci will prevent fruit damage. There was evidence to support the hypothesis that nymphs can survive a relatively short period (7 d) without arthropod prey.     

Dry matter accumulation in citrus fruit is not limited by transport capacity of the pedicel

The vascularization of the pedicel in Marisol clementine (Citrus clementina Hort. ex Tanaka) has been characterized in relation to fruit growth. Phloem and xylem formation occurred during the first half of the period of fruit growth. Phloem cross-sectional area reached its maximum value by the end of fruitlet abscission, 78 d after anthesis (DAA), shortly after the rate of accumulation of dry matter in fruitlets reached its maximum value. Secondary xylem formation occurred until day 93, well after the end of fruitlet abscission. At fruit maturity, xylem accounted for 42-46 % of the cross-section of the pedicel. Vessels differentiated in this late-formed xylem. Formation of phloem and early xylem was directly related to fruitlet size (and growth rate). Differences in the rate of formation of conductive tissues in the pedicel of the developing fruitlets followed rather than preceded the differences in growth rate. Specific mass transfer (SMT) in the phloem was highest in the fastest growing fruitlets, and peaked during the late stages of fruitlet abscission (72-78 DAA) and during the main period of fruit growth (107-121 DAA). Application of a synthetic auxin to developing fruits, either at the end of flowering (2,4-D) or by day 64 after flowering (2,4-DP), increased the growth rate of the fruit and fruit size at maturity (8-13 % increase in fruit diameter at maturity). These auxin applications also enhanced the formation of conductive tissues in the pedicel, with a specific effect on phloem formation. Applying auxin at flowering resulted in a reduction in the phloem SMT by days 72-78, whereas auxin application on day 64 increased this parameter. Despite this difference in behaviour, which resulted from the different time-course of the growth response of the fruit to auxin applications, these applications increased fruit size to a similar extent. Severing 37 % of the phloem of the pedicel during the main period of fruit growth resulted in an increase in the specific mass transfer in the phloem but had no influence on fruit growth. These observations demonstrate that the transport capacity in the phloem of the pedicel does not limit fruit growth and, within the limits of our experiments, an increase in demand by the fruit appeared to be matched by an increase in SMT. The dependence of late xylem formation (after the period of fruitlet abscission) on fruitlet growth was demonstrated in Salustiana orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck] by means of controlling fruit growth through the manipulation of leaf area. Fruit growth at this time was more closely related to leaf area than to carbohydrate levels, suggesting that it may be limited by current photosynthesis.
