Lingwuchangzao）. The results showed that the flesh firmness decreased slowly from white-green stage to full-red stage, being significantly related with the developmental maturity of jujube fruits negatively, the correlation coefficient reached -0.980 3^＊＊. The contents of ascorbic acid and titratable acid in jujube fruits were significantly related with the developmental process of jujube fruits negatively or positively, the correlation coef- ficients were -0. 973 1^＊＊and ＋ 0. 974 6^ ＊ ＊ , respectively. The contents of soluble solids, total sugar, and sucrose increased with jujube ripening, while the relative sweetness of jujube fruits showed the same variation pattern, the correlation coefficients were 0. 996 6 ^＊ ＊ , 0. 988 0^＊＊ , and 0. 982 8 ^＊ ＊ , respectively. Before white-green stage during fruit development, the accumulation of monosaccharide was predominant in jujube fruits, following a fast accumulation of sucrose, indicating that the main component of sugars is sucrose at the crisp-ripe stage. Furthermore, the starch content of the flesh reached the peak at about thirty percentage of jujube maturity, being 51,54 mg/100 g.FW. The respiratory rates varied between 10 mg/（ kg.h） and CO2 26 mg/（ kg.h） after fruit turning red and before softening, indicating a non-climacteric respiratory type.展开更多

In this irrigation strategy, a split-root technique was used to divide the root system of the plants in two parts. Two water regimes were used： （1） control, with both root compartments well watered; （2） PRD, with one compartment irrigated （50% of the control）, the other compartment was kept dry switching every 10 days. For all olive varieties studied, gs and the shoot length of the plants subjected to PRD decreased, whereas, Woo and RWC remained higher. The effect of PRD was similar among the four olive varieties, with their stomata closing in response to the water deficit before any significant changes in leaf water status were detectable. At the agronomic level, the benefits of PRD on olive were expressed by an earlier maturity and by higher values of olive fruit weight and dimensions, especially, in Manzanilla, which produced a fruit reaching 7.1 g and 2.6 cm, respectively. The enzymatic activities of soluble peroxidases （POX）, insoluble peroxidases （POXins）, polyphenoloxidase （PPO） and superoxide dismutase （SOD） were up-regulated under PRD. Picholine Marocaine and Haouzia showed higher enzymatic activities revealing that in these two varieties, PRD had possibly induced oxidative stress, which resulted in an up-regulation of the antioxidant activities of POXins, POX, PPO and SOD under water deficit.展开更多
