Abstract

Taking 18year-old‘Red Fuji'apple tree as materials,the effect of different pruning quantity with light pruning,light pruning+summer pruning,medium pruning,medium pruning+summer pruning,heavy pruning on photosynthetic ability and canopy light intensity,fruit quality of apple tree in full fruit period were studied.The results showed that the suitable pruning quality was winter medium pruning+summer pruning shoots,because the treatment increased the canopy relative light intensity,promoted photosynthetic ability,and improved yields,fruit weight,and fruit quality in full fruit period.The relative canopy relative light intensity were measured in the layer of upper,middle and lower,the photosynthetic rate,stomatal conductance and transpiration rate of apple leaves increased and intercellular CO2 concentration decreased greatly when winter pruning degree was increased gradually.When winter pruning degree was increased,the fruit yields,fruit weight,firmness,the content of soluble solid and vitamin C,anthocyanin increased and the content of titratable acid decreased significantly.

8 of 11 groups shown: named compounds and organisms first, then groups whose results differ (checked claim by claim), then those with positive and negative results, then the smaller groups.

Claims are grouped by organism, treatment and what was measured or targeted. A paper counts as positive when any of its claims in the group is positive.
