The ecophysiological response of the sweet cherry tree species was determined by evaluating the influence of light intensity on photosynthesis, as well as by determining the content of photosynthetic and carotenoid pigments of the leaves in different phenological stages (66 BBCH, 75 BBCH and 89 BBCH). The content of pigments in the leaves was analyzed spectrophotometrically, being estimated by the value of the light absorption capacity of the acetonic extract of pigments (1%) in the visible spectrum at different wavelengths. The obtained results showed that the intensity of the photosynthesis process has maximum values in the fruit ripening phenophase, the content in photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a and b) registering maximum values of 14.28 µg/mL, at an average light intensity of 53,000 lux.","PeriodicalId":37667,"journal":{"name":"Fruit Growing Research","volume":"4 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139008464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The planting was created in 2013. Planting distances were 5x5 m. The following fertilization variants were investigated: V1 – unfertilized – (control), V2 – chicken manure 2.5 kg/tree, V3 – chicken manure 5.0 kg/tree. The correlation between the fertilizer rate and the trunk growth rate of the plum cv. ʻStanleyʼ was positive from the second year of chicken manure Vita organic application. The application of chicken manure at a rate of 2.5 kg/tree increased the canopy volume, and in the third year it was statistically significant at P<0.05 by 56.56%. On average for the period of the experiment, the fertilizer rate of 2.5 kg/tree increased the yield by 79.16%, and the average fruit weight by 5.93%. A higher content of dry matter and acids was found in the fruits at both fertilizer rates.","PeriodicalId":37667,"journal":{"name":"Fruit Growing Research","volume":"31 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139009944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the abundance of secondary metabolites in the tree, Ginkgo biloba extract (GbE) is used as a medicine, food supplement, and nutraceutical. Flavonoids are the most active components in GbE. There is increasing evidence that external and internal factors affect flavonoid synthesis. The publication of the G. biloba genome significantly improved functional analyses of key genes, transcription factors, and non-coding RNAs involved in flavonoid synthesis. Here, we review progress on understanding the mechanisms of external and internal factors that affect the synthesis and accumulation of flavonoids in G. biloba . We highlight recent achievements that have greatly advanced our understanding of the functions of key genes for flavonoid synthesis.

Despite its significance, there is a lack of studies on sex-linked molecular markers that can assist in grapevine breeding. In this study, we developed a grapevine single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker array using a combination of genotyping by target sequencing (GBTS) and capture-in-solution technology, and applied it to marker-assisted selection (MAS) of grapevine gender. The SNP array could detect a total of 20,597 core SNPs and 97,453 multiple SNPs (mSNPs), covering over 99% of the grapevine genome on each chromosome.

To the further utilize this locus, a sex prediction marker combination consisting of two SNPs was developed, which accurately predicted the sex of 34 natural grapevine varieties/accessions.

Pooled ISSR and SRAP, along with UPGMA clustering based on similarity coefficients, were estimated to assess the efficiency of the marker system in peaches. Similarity coefficients between accessions regarding the ISSR and SRAP markers ranged from 0.65 to 0.89, indicating a broad genetic peach base. A maximum similarity coefficient of 0.89 was observed between C12 'Weiduanmihong' (Fujian Yikangyuan Farm Co., Ltd., 26.58°N, 118.75°E) and C32 'Weiduanmihong' (WeiduanVillage, 26.58°N, 118.75°E), and a minimum of 0.65 was observed in C6 'Huangjinmitao 5' (Gutian Natural Pantaoyuan Family Farm, 26.58°N, 118.75°E) and the rest of the genotypes.
