Abstract:

The purpose is to analysis the fruit quality and fruit cracking characteristics of Xinjiang self-bred grape varieties under the application of plant growth regulator.The table grapes Xinyu and Xinya bred by research institute of grapes and melons of Xinjiang uygur autonomous region were selected as experimental materials,and 5 mg/L GA3+5 mg/L 6-BA were sprayed at the veraison period,setting the veraison period and spraying once(T1),twice(T2),three times(T3)every 14 days.The optimal spraying scheme was screened out by measuring the basic indexes of grape fruit quality and fruit cracking rate.The contents of grape skin cell wall components(pectin,protopectin,cellulose,hemicellulose)and the activities of PG,PEP,PL,CE were determined by ELISA kit,and the relative expression of PG,PEP,PL,CE genes were detected by Real-time Quantitative PCR.At the T3 treatment,the content of fructose and glucose components increased significantly,the content of tartaric acid and malic acid decreased significantly,the solid-acid ratio increased significantly,and the fruit cracking rate decreased by 40.7,24.0 percentage points respectively.Compared with the control group from the late verasion to the harvest period,the activities of PG,PEP,PL and CE metabolism-related enzymes and the expression levels of corresponding related genes decreased,and the content of pectin,protopectin,cellulose and hemicellulose cell wall components increased,thus affecting the fruit cracking rate.In conclusion,the fruit quality was improved by spraying of GA3+6-BA three times after veraison period,at the stage of 100% colored berries,inhibited the enzyme activities PG,PME,PL by reducing PG,PL gene expression,then enhanced the production of protopectin,at the stage of 100% colored berries and the harvest period,inhibited the enzyme activities CE by reducing CE gene expression,then enhanced the production of hemicellulose.While the content of protopectin and hemicellulose increase stabilized the cell wall structure,enhanced the mechanical properties of peel and reduced the fruit cracking rate.
