Abstract
SummaryThe relationship between peach fruit (Prunus persica L. Batsch) composition and growth was studied in six cultivar-training-site-season combinations. Individual fruit growth and sugar and acid content were measured. The approach combined a functional description of growth and a correlation analysis. Fruit growth was divided into two phases: pit growth with the first stage of the flesh growth, and a second stage of flesh growth. Fruit composition was analysed for the concentrations of sucrose, reducing sugars, malic and citric acids in the flesh. The variability of growth and composition within each combination was high. The variation of composition was mainly related to the variation of growth during the second phase, although the fruit having largest diameters at thinning were often those with the highest citric acid concentration. Fruits growing intensively during the second phase had the highest sucrose and malic acid concentration and the lowest reducing sugar and citric acid concentration. The...
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology is an international, peer-reviewed journal, which publishes original research contributions into the production, improvement and utilisation of horticultural crops. It aims to provide scientific knowledge of interest to those engaged in scientific research and the practice of horticulture. The scope of the journal includes studies on fruit and other perennial crops, vegetables and ornamentals grown in temperate or tropical regions and their use in commercial, amenity or urban horticulture. Papers, including reviews, that give new insights into plant and crop growth, yield, quality and response to the environment, are welcome, including those arising from technological innovation and developments in crop genome sequencing and other biotechnological advances.
