It affects photosynthesis and photosyn- thate accumulation, therefore also affecting fruit quality and nutritional content. This study assessed the effects of different sodium molybdate （Na2MoO4） concentrations on strawberry. Five different Mo concentrations were applied in this experi- ment, including 0, 67.5, 135, 168.75, 202.5 g ha-1, respectively. The mineral concentration, including nitrogen （N）, Mo, iron （Fe）, copper （Cu）, and selenium （Se） was assessed in strawberry fruit, as well as chlorophyll content, nutrition quality, taste and aroma. Results showed that net photosynthetic rate （Pn） and chlorophyll content for the strawberry plants increased with an increase in Mo concentration; and the contents of N, Mo, Fe, Cu, total soluble solids （TSS）, titratable acidity （TA）, sweetness, some sugars, organic acids, and some volatile compounds in the fruit all increased, as well. However, the Mo concentration did not significantly affect the concentrations of Se, sucrose, lactic acid, acetic acid, and some aroma compounds. Fruit sprayed with 135 g ha-1 Mo exhibited the highest TSS and sweetness values, as well as the highest N and Fe concentrations among all the treatments. P value and chlorophyll content, fructose, glucose, sorbitol and total sugar contents in fruit supplied with 135 g ha-1 Mo were also higher than that in other treatments. Fruit sprayed with a Mo concentration of 67.5 g ha-1 exhibited significantly higher ascorbic acid （AsA） values than that of control. Ninety-seven volatile compounds were identified in fruit extracted by head-space solid-phase microextraction （HS-SPME） coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry （GC-MS）. Fruits sprayed with 135 g ha-1 Mo had the highest concentrations of six characteristic aroma compounds, including methyl butanoate, y-decalactone, ethyl butanoate, methyl hexanoate, y-do- decalactone, and ethyl caproate.展开更多

Shuguang） nectarine was used to study effects of photoperiod on key-enzyme activities of respiration during dormancy induction. The dormancy status was determined with sprouting ability. Spectrophotometry was used to investigate activities of phosphohexose isomerase （PGI）, malic dehydrogenase （MDH）, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase （G6PDH）. The results revealed that short day （SD） treatment promoted dormancy induction while long day （LD） treatment postponed the process. During dormancy induction, PGI activities declined, MDH activities changed little, and G6PDH activities increased both in flower buds and leaf buds. PGI activities and MDH activities in SD treatment were lower than control, and G6PDH activities were higher, which was opposite with LD treatment. The changes of respiratory key-enzyme activities were adjusted by photoperiod and correlated with the development of dormancy induction.展开更多
