Abstract

To identify the optimal anti-cracking agents formulation for sweet cherry under protected early cultivation, taking the cultivar ‘Tieton’ as the test material, 7 treatment groups (T1-T7) involving different combinations of organic fluid calcium, water-soluble fertilizers (formerly Jugu shenfeng), gibberellic acid (GA3), and plant element-rich nutrient solution (formerly Haiyangsu) were set up, with water spray as the control (CK). The responses of fruit characteristics, cell wall materials, and enzyme activities to these foliar applications were investigated. The results showed that these treatments significantly increased the protopectin and cellulose content, thereby enhancing cell wall stability and further reducing the incidence of fruit cracking. However, the application concentration required careful consideration. The most effective treatment was a 300-fold dilution of water-soluble fertilizers combined with 30 mg/L GA3 (T4); the combined application of a 300-fold dilution of water-soluble fertilizers and a 100-fold dilution of plant element-rich nutrient solution (T5) resulted in the optimal overall fruit quality. Furthermore, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in treated fruits were significantly higher than that in the control, while peroxidase (POD) activity was lower. This exogenous regulation was helpful to maintain the dynamic balance of the POD/SOD/CAT enzyme system, preserving cell wall plasticity and membrane integrity, which ultimately contributed to effective crack control. In addition, the application of either organic fluid calcium or water-soluble fertilizers increased the vitamin C content in the fruits, with the most pronounced effect observed when water-soluble fertilizers and plant element-rich nutrient solution were applied together. In conclusion, the results demonstrate that the combined application of GA3, plant element-rich nutrient solution, and water-soluble fertilizers effectively reduce the fruit-cracking rate of ‘Tieton’, and significantly improve the fruit quality, which provides scientific basis and practical guidance for the prevention and control of fruit cracking in facility early cultivation of sweet cherries..

Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) is one of the fruits that are widely acclaimed around the world. However, its fruits are prone to cracking from onset of color to full maturity, especially in cherry-producing regions where rain events are common near harvest. Cracked cherries have an unpleasant appearance, as well as susceptible to invasion by fungal pathogens, therefore dramatically depreciated, incurring considerable economic losses to growers, quite dampening their planting enthusiasm, subsequently restricting the advancement of sweet cherry industry. The incidence and severity of fruit cracking in sweet cherry are affected by genotypic, environmental, as well as agronomic factors. This review provides an overview of the causes, testing methods, and mitigation strategies related to fruit cracking in sweet cherry. Based on recent research advances, this review proposes the perspectives that developing crack resistant varieties is as a promising strategy to mitigate fruit cracking in sweet cherry.

为探明适合贵州低热河谷地区栽培百香果的硅钙肥配比,本研究以钦蜜9号百香果为试材,试验设置为花前每株土施硅肥50 g,花后10 d左右喷施钙肥,间隔15 d喷1次,连续喷3次,钙肥浓度为500倍、1000倍、1500倍,以不施肥为对照。通过对百香果土施硅肥、花果期喷施钙肥,探究不同中微肥及其用量对百香果品质及细胞壁代谢的影响,并筛选最佳硅钙肥配方,旨在为提高百香果果实品质提供一定的理论依据和实践指导。结果表明:与对照相比,土施硅肥+喷施钙肥1000倍配施能提高百香果的单果重、果实硬度、果实纵横径,增加果实的可溶性固形物(TSS)及Vc含量,减少可滴定酸(TA)含量;提高可溶性糖(SS)、可溶性蛋白质含量(SP);促进过氧化物酶(POD)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性;增加果皮中原果胶和纤维素含量,使水溶性果胶(WSP)含量、纤维素酶(CX)、多聚半乳糖醛酸酶(PG)及果胶甲酯酶(PME)活性下降,且各指标与对照均存在显著差异。进而说明土施硅肥+喷施钙肥1000倍配施能显著提高百香果果实品质及果皮机械强度、韧性及稳定性,与对照相比,果实单果重、果实硬度、纵径、横径分别增长11.15%、27.18%、6.23%、3.29%,TSS、Vc、SS、SP含量分别提高16.95%、16.12%、20.57%、24.55%,TA含量降低36.03%,POD、SOD、CAT活性分别提升13.16%、19.67%、21.65%,果皮中原果胶和纤维素含量分别增加19.29%和17.19%,WSP含量降低10.63%,CX、PG及PME活性分别下降8.58%、22.98%、7.52%。

【目的】了解矿质营养与锦橙裂果的关系及其生理机制,探讨钙在锦橙裂果中的作用及其对果皮酶活性的影响,为有效降低柑橘裂果提供理论及技术支撑。【方法】通过对北碚447锦橙果园的调查研究和采样分析,研究裂果和正常果功能叶片、果皮和果肉中N、P、K、Ca含量及相关酶的活性;采用田间试验在花前及幼果期进行喷钙处理,研究钙对裂果及果皮结构物(果胶)及其水解酶类、活性氧清除酶类、多酚氧化酶(PPO)活性的影响。【结果】裂果植株叶片和裂果果皮、果肉中的钙含量显著低于正常果,裂果率与果皮中的钙呈极显著的负相关;裂果果皮中PPO、多聚半乳糖醛酸酶(PG)、纤维素酶(CX)的活性较高,而过氧化氢酶(CAT)的活性较低;果实的裂果率与果皮中的PPO活性成显著正相关,与CAT活性和原果胶(PP)含量呈极显著的负相关。喷钙处理显著降低了果皮中丙二醛(MDA)的含量和PPO、POD、PG、CX活性,提高了SOD、CAT活性以及原果胶含量。【结论】果皮中钙含量不足导致细胞壁水解酶(PG、CX)和多酚氧化酶活性提高、维持果皮强度和延展性的原果胶含量降低是锦橙裂果发生的主要原因,外源喷钙能显著降低果实膨大期的裂果率,喷施钙肥是减少锦橙裂果的重要措施。

探索外源赤霉素与氨基酸钙对柑橘果实裂果的影响,为防止‘明日见’柑橘裂果提供理论依据和实践措施。以红橘为基础砧高换5年生‘明日见’柑橘为试验材料,选取生长势、负载量一致的27株树,分别在花后60、75、90 d进行外源赤霉素、氨基酸钙处理,从花后100 d开始采样,每隔15 d采样一次,共采样5次。对果皮细胞超微结构进行观察,对果实外观品质、裂果率、细胞壁物质含量、3种不同类型果胶含量(水溶性果胶、离子结合性果胶、共价结合型果胶)、半乳糖醛酸含量、纤维素和半纤维素含量、木质素含量进行测定,并利用方差分析进行综合评价。水溶性果胶含量随果实生长发育先升高后降低,裂果高峰期含量高于其他时期,且受赤霉素影响较大。离子结合性果胶、共价结合型果胶、纤维素含量随果实生长发育先降低后升高,裂果高峰期含量低于其他时期,离子结合性果胶含量变化受外源钙影响较大。不同处理在不同时期的半纤维素、木质素含量差异不显著。果皮中不同类型果胶的含量变化是‘明日见’裂果的主要因素,外源喷施赤霉素与氨基酸钙能显著降低裂果率。赤霉素与氨基酸钙通过影响果皮中不同类型的果胶含量增强抗裂果能力,赤霉素的处理效果优于外源钙,能更有效地防止‘明日见’裂果的发生。
