    To compare the effects of different nitrogen enhanced fertilizer on apple growth and to identify suitable nitrogen enhanced fertilizer and application methods for apple cultivation,this study examined the impact of four different types of nitrogen enhanced fertilizer on apple growth,yield,quality,and soil nitrogen supply capacity.The experiment consisted of seven treatments:no nitrogen fertilizer(CK),regular application of ordinary urea by farmers(U),coated urea mixed with ordinary urea 3∶7(CU1),basal application of coated urea and follow-up application of ordinary urea(CU2),loss-control urea(KSU),stabilizing urea(WDU),and humic acid stabilizing urea(FZU).A field experiment was conducted in Qixia City,Shandong Province,to analyze the effects of different fertilization treatments on the growth,yield,and quality of 6-year-old Golden Crown apple trees,as well as nitrogen utilization and soil nitrogen supply capacity.The results demonstrated that the application of diverse synergistic nitrogen fertilizers could markedly enhance spring and autumn growth,elevate leaf SPAD,and enhance apple yield and quality.Among these,the yield of the FZU treatment exhibited a significant increase of 8.89% in comparison to that of the control.The Vc content of the fruits of the CU1 treatment was found to be significantly increased by 66.73% in comparison to the U treatment.Furthermore,the CU1 treatment demonstrated the most pronounced impact on the improvement of growth in both spring and autumn.Nitrogen enhanced fertilizer had been demonstrated to significantly enhance nitrogen accumulation in new shoots and fruit nitrogen accumulation,nitrogen fertilizer agronomic efficiency,nitrogen fertilizer bias productivity and nitrogen utilization in the middle and late stages of apple fertility.Of these,the FZU treatment had been observed to exert the most pronounced effect.The nitrogen accumulation of new shoots in FZU treatment was significantly increased by 37.25%,15.91% and 37.85% compared with that in U treatment at bud differentiation,fruiting and ripening stages,respectively.The CU2 treatment was found to have the most beneficial effect on nitrogen utilization.Nitrogen enhanced fertilizer treatments demonstrated the capacity to significantly enhance the nitrate and ammonium content of soil.Among these treatments,the FZU treatment exhibited the most pronounced effect.The FZU treatment was observed to enhance soil urease activity during the flowering and bud differentiation stages.Additionally,the WDU and FZU treatments were found to significantly reduce the nitrification of soil ammonium and nitrogen loss.The NO3--N of the FZU treatment was concentrated at a depth of 20—60 cm soil,which was consistent with the distribution of apple roots in the soil and reduced the risk of NO3--N leaching.A comprehensive analysis demonstrated that the FZU treatment exhibited clear advantages in promoting apple growth,increasing apple yield and quality,and enhancing soil nutrient supply capacity.Consequently,the FZU treatment was identified as the optimal treatment.

    To clarify the optimal harvesting period and storage temperature for the Venus apple fruit used for storage.The effects of three harvesting periods combined with three precise storage temperatures on fruit quality,anti-browning and preservation of Venus gold apple during 20 ℃ shelf life after cold storage were studied. The results showed that harvesting period Ⅰ(relatively early harvest)combined with storage at-1.5 ℃ (relatively low temperature)could maintain high fruit firmness,but the soluble solid content (SSC)of fruit was low,the taste and flavor of fruit were poor,and different degrees of browning of skin,heart and flesh appeared during shelf life. When harvested at period Ⅲ (relatively late),stored at 3 ℃ (relatively high temperature)until January 20,the fruit had high SSC,good taste and flavor. However,when stored at 20 ℃ for 24 h and stored on the shelf for 7 days,the fruit flesh was spongy and severely browning. The results showed that compared with-1.5 and 3.0 ℃,0 ℃ maintained higher firmness,SSC,titratable acid (TA)and ascorbic acid contents,and better maintained fruit chlorophyll fluorescence activity,and delayed fruit senescence. For the same storage temperature,the contents of TA and ascorbic acid in the fruits of harvest period Ⅱ were higher than those of harvest period Ⅰ and Ⅲ. The comprehensive analysis showed that the harvest period Ⅱ and Ⅲ combined with 0,3 ℃ could maintain the good merchantability and intrinsic quality of Venus gold apple stored in the medium and short term. For the Venus gold apple with medium and long-term storage,the harvest period Ⅱ combined with 0 ℃ accurate temperature storage could not only effectively inhibit fruit browning,slow fruit softening and senescence,but also maintain good flavor and quality of fruit during shelf life.

    In order to study the function of 3-O-glucosyltransferase gene(3GT) in blueberry and to explore the roles of 3-O-glucosyltransferase in anthocyanin synthesis, a single copy of 3GT was cloned from the cDNA of blueberry fruit by RT-PCR, which was 1 371 bp and encoded 456 amino acids. 3GT was located at the end of chromosome Ⅳ in blueberry and contains 3 exons and 2 introns. The molecular formula of the protein was C2279H3521N595O650S15, and the theoretical isoelectric point (pI) was 6.14. Information analysis predicted that 3GT was one hydrophilic protein and unstable protein with 37 phosphorylation sites, without signal peptide,or transmembrane domain. The secondary structure of protein consists of α-helix (Hh), extended chain (Ee), β-angle (Tt) and random curl (Cc), among which α-helix accounted for 40%.As one number of GTB-type glycosyltransferase family, the 44th position in the PSPG domain of 3GT was histidine, and the glycosylase donor might be UDP-galactosewas. 3GT was closely related to Kiwifruit, with the homology of amino acids reached 67%. Auto-Dock showed that 3GT had four interaction forces with zymolyte of cyanidin. There were multiple cis-regulatory elements that might relate to light response,stress resistance response and specific hormone response in the promoter of 3GT. The blueberry 3GT gene was cloned.The bioinformatics analysis and function prediction were carried out through online website and prediction software to study the characteristics and function of 3GT.

    Strawberry powdery mildew caused by Sphaerotheca aphanis is one of the strawberry diseases with large incidence area and high incidence frequency in the protected cultivation areas, which usually occurs from seedling stage to fruiting stage. Therefore, the establishment of a rapid and efficient detection method of S. aphanis is quite important for the diagnosis and control of strawberry powdery mildew.A set of LAMP amplification primers including F3/B3、FIP/BIP and LF/LB were designed for the conserved sequence of ITS gene of Sphaerotheca aphanis as the target gene. Through the double judgment method of Real-time fluorescence curve and fluorescence color change, the main factors in the LAMP reaction system including the final concentrations of dNTPs, MgSO4, BstDNA polymerase and betaine and amplification temperature were selected and optimized to increased etections ensitivity and specificity. Finally, the effects of field samples detection by optimized LAMP were evaluated.The results showed that the LAMP detection system of strawberry powdery mildew was established successfully. The optimized reaction conditions included dNTPs 1.6 mmol/L, MgSO4 8 mmol/L, BstDNA polymerase 320 U/moL and betaine 1.2 mmol/L and the amplification temperature was 65 ℃. Under such conditions, the minimum detection sensitivity was 3.2×10-4 ng/μL within 60 min, and the efficiency of which was 100 times higher than the result of PCR amplification.The visual LAMP method could effectively detect the samples with no obvious symptoms infected by S. aphanis in the early stage. This method has the advantages of short detection time, direct observation with eyes, low requirements for operators and low detection cost. It has important guiding significance for the early diagnosis, monitoring, early prevention and determination of the best control time of strawberry powdery mildew.

    In order to explore the storability of Chinese cherry fruit,reduce the decay rate of post harvest fruit and prolong its storage life. Chinese cherry Black pearl was sprayed with CaCl2,amino acid calcium and sugar alcohol calcium after flowering. The internal and external quality of post harvest fruits during storage and several protective enzymes were studied,and the most suitable calcium fertilizer and its concentration were selected.The results showed that:with the extension of storage time,cherry fruit hardness,100 fruit weight,soluble sugar,titratable acid,soluble protein,Vc,β-carotene decreased;the content of MDA and REC increased gradually;the activities of soluble solids,SOD,POD and PPO increased first and then decreased;the nutrient and water loss,PPO activity and MDA accumulation of cherry fruit treated with calcium fertilizer during storage were lower than CK;the activities of SOD and POD were higher than CK. Foliar calcium fertilizer improved the storage resistance of Black pearl cherry. The comprehensive evaluation of membership function showed that 1 500 times sugar alcohol calcium had the best effect on fruit preservation. Spraying calcium fertilizer before harvest could improve the hardness,quality and the activity of antioxidant enzymes of cherry fruit,so as to prolong the storage period of cherry.1 500 times sugar alcohol calcium can be popularized and applied in production.

    The changes of minerals in leaves(L), flowers/fruits(F)and their correlations in the full-bloom stage(FBS), veraison stage(VS), and maturation stages(MS)of Merlot grapes in the Penglai producing area was analyzed, and which will provide the theoretical basis for the nutritional diagnosis and scientific fertilization of Merlot grapes. In 2018-2020, 16 Merlot grapes under fixed formula fertilization in the Penglai production area were selected as the research object. Each formula fertilizer selected 4 orchards, a total of 192 Merlot vineyards, and the leaves, flowers/fruits of different growth periods were compared. For differences in the content of mineral elements, correlation analysis was used to screen the main leaf nutrient factors that affect the mineral nutrient content of the fruit. The contents of L_Fe, B and F_N, P, K, Mg, Fe, and B content in each growth period showed the order of FBS>VS>MS, and there were significant differences in different growth periods. The contents of L_Mn, Cu and Cu content showed the order of VS>MS>FBS, and the differences were significant in each growth period. Except for N/Ca/Mg at FBS, Cu at MS, and Mn at FBS NS/MS, other leaf and flower/fruit mineral elements showed significant or extremely significant differences. The contents of N, Ca, and Mo in each growth period showed the order of L>F. The content of Fe, Mn, Zn, and B in each growth period showed as F>L. The content of P and K was expressed as F>L in both FBS and VS, and L>F in MS. The content of Mg and Cu in FBS was F>L, and in VS and MS, the content was L>F. There were similarities and specificities in the changes of mineral elements in the leaves and fruits of Merlot grapes, which might be caused by the different degrees of synergy or antagonism between the various mineral elements in the leaves and fruits. Correlation analysis showed that the content of various elements in leaves and fruits showed different degrees of correlation during different growth periods. P, K, Fe, Zn, Cu, B were indispensable elements in the development of Merlot grape flowers. The content of Ca, Mn, and Cu in the leaves and fruits of Merlot grapes increased significantly during the period of FBS and VS. During the MS of Merlot grapes, the N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and Mo contents in the leaves were significantly higher than those in the fruits, and the contents of Ca, N, and K were higher, indicating that the effects of Ca, N, K in the growth and development of the fruit were relatively high. The demand was higher than other mineral elements. In summary, the P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Cu, B, and Mo levels in the leaves before anthesis could be adjusted to regulate the content of P, K, Fe, Cu, and B in the flower;because the Ca in the leaves was not easy to effectively transport to the fruit for its use, so Ca should be directly applied to the young fruit in a targeted manner. During the VS, the content of Mn and Cu in fruits could be regulated by increasing the levels of Mn and Cu in leaves. During maturity, the contents of P, K, Zn, and Mn in the fruit could be regulated by increasing the levels of N, K, and Ca in leaves.

    The effects of 1-MCP and ethephon on the main physiological quality indexes and softening related indexes of Postharvest Pyrus ussuriensis during normal temperature storage were studied, and the mechanism of 1-MCP and ethephon on softening regulation of Pyrus ussuriensis was discussed, so as to provide theoretical basis for regulating the ripening and softening process of Pyrus ussuriensis. Five kinds of Pyrus ussuriensis, Nanguo pear, Jingbai pear, Huagai pear, Jianba pear and An pear, were fumigated with 0.5 μL/L 1-MCP for 24 h and 1.0 g/kg ethephon solution respectively. The changes of fruit firmness, respiration rate, ethylene production, soluble solids, titratable acid, vitamin C content, water-soluble pectin, cellulose, starch content and softening related enzyme activities of polygalacturonase(PG), β-galactosidase(β-Gal), cellulase(CL)and amylase(AM)were studied during normal temperature storage((20±1)℃). 1-MCP treatment significantly delayed the decline of firmness, ethylene production, respiration rate, water soluble pectin(WSP), cellulose and starch content of Pyrus ussuriensis, and decreased the activities of PG, β-Gal, CL and AM enzyme, but there was little difference between ethephon treatment group and control group. 1-MCP treatment could alleviate the degradation of cell wall substances by inhibiting the activities of cell wall related degrading enzymes and reducing ethylene production, thus effectively delaying the fruit softening process of Pyrus ussuriensis. However, ethephon had no significant effect on the physiological changes of fruit softening and cell wall degradation during storage.

    To explore the effects of spraying CaCl2 at different concentrations on physiological characteristics of apple seedlings under salt stress, two-year-old T337 seedlings were used as test materials, and the pot experiment was used to set 100 mmol/L NaCl(T1) and 100 mmol/L NaCl + four different concentrations of CaCl2 (5.0(T2), 7.5(T3), 10.0(T4), 12.5 mmol/L(T5)) treatment, watering with deionized water was used as the control(CK).Determine the chlorophyll content, photosynthetic and fluorescence parameters, antioxidant enzyme activity and osmotic adjustment substance content of each treatment group, and carry out correlation and principal component analysis. The results showed that with prolonged stress time, the catalase(CAT), peroxidase(POD), superoxide dismutase(SOD) of T337 leaves first increased and then decreased, malondialdehyde(MDA), intercellular CO2 concentration(Ci), proline(Pro) and relative conductivity(REC) showed a rising trend, initial fluorescence(F0), PSⅡ maximum light energy conversion rate(Fv/Fm) stomatal conductance(Gs) and the transpiration rate(Tr) showed a downward trend;compared with CK and T1, the variation amplitudes of T337 leaves after treatment with exogenous CaCl2 were all reduced, and there was a significant concentration effect. Among them, the relative chlorophyll content(SPAD), Pn, Tr, POD, F0 and SOD decreased the least under T4(10mmol/L) treatment, which was significantly higher than other treatment groups;MDA, REC and Ci increased the least, which was significantly higher than CK and lower than others processing group. Correlation analysis of 14 indicators showed that Pn was positively correlated with CAT, Tr, Gs, F0, Fv/Fm, ETR, SPAD, SOD and POD, and negatively correlated with Pro, MDA, Ci, and REC. Principal component analysis was performed on 14 related indicators after salt stress treatment, and 2 principal components with eigenvalues greater than 1 were extracted, and their eigenvalues were 11.190, 2.295, respectively;The first and second principal component variance contribution rates were 79.930%, 16.394%, respectively, the cumulative variance contribution rate reached 96.324%, which meets the analysis requirements. According to the ranking of principal component scores, the mitigation ability of exogenous CaCl2 to T337 salt stress was T4>T3>T2>T5 from high to low. Therefore, 10 mmol/L CaCl2 could improve the photosynthetic fluorescence characteristics of T337 rootstock leaves under salt stress, improve the antioxidant enzyme system and osmotic adjustment ability, and enhance the stability and permeability of biofilms to alleviate salt stress.

    In order to investigate the effects of different materials of modified atmosphere packaging on the postharvest physiology and storage quality of Hongxiangsu pear, six kinds of packaging treatments, such as CK, high exudation CO2 bag, PE bag, PE bag + 1-MCP preservative, PE bag + ethylene absorbent, PVC bag, were studied. The fruits of Hongxiangsu pear were refrigerated at (0±0.5)℃ for 120, 180, 240 d. After being taken out, the fruits were balanced at 20℃ for 24 h and stored for 7 d. The changes of respiration rate, ethylene release, ethanol and acetaldehyde contents, fruit appearance and internal quality were measured and the contents of CO2, O2 and ethylene in different bags were monitored regularly. The results showed that compared with CK and high exudation CO2 bag, PE bag and PVC bag had good air conditioning ability, which could significantly reduce the volume fraction of O2 and increase the volume fraction of CO2, but the ethylene concentration in the bag was also relatively high, while the ethylene concentration in PE bag + ethylene absorbent bag was relatively low. Compared with CK fruit, the other four kinds of packaging treatments except high exudation CO2 bag could delay the decline of fruit firmness and the yellowing of peel in the middle and later storage periods, maintain relatively high soluble solid content. Among them, the PE bag+1-MCP preservative not only maintained better appearance and normal taste flavor of Hongxiangsu pear fruit during cold storage and shelf life, but also significantly reduced the fruit respiration rate, ethylene release, mass fraction of ethanol and acetaldehyde. However, when the fruits were stored in PVC bags for 240 d and stored at 20℃ for 7 d shelves, some fruits showed browning and abnormal flavor. For Hongxiangsu pear stored in medium and long term, the PE bag+1-MCP preservative treatment had the best storage effect, followed by single PE bag and PE bag + ethylene absorbent. PVC bag was not recommended for Hongxiangsu pear.

    To understand the effects of SH1 and Y-1 dwarfing interstocks on the growth and leaf photosynthesis of Fuji apple saplings, and provide theoretical basis for the selection and utilization of dwarfing interstocks in production, the Fuji Nagafu 2 apple trees grafted on SH1 and Y-1 interstocks were used to study the effects of two kinds of interstocks on the growth, branch composition and leaf photosynthetic indexes of young Fuji trees. The results showed that the annual growth trend of Fuji on SH1 and Y-1 interstocks was basically the same, but the growth of spring and autumn shoots and the length of new shoots of Y-1 were significantly lower than that of SH1, and the ratio of short branches was significantly higher than that of SH1, and the fruit color index, hardness, soluble solids and solid acid ratio significantly increased. The diurnal and annual dynamic trends of net photosynthetic rate(Pn) of Fuji Nagafu 2 were different between SH1 and Y-1 interstocks. The Pn of leaf in SH1 in the early growth period was higher than in Y-1, but the Pn of leaf in Y-1 in the later growth period was significantly higher than in SH1, analysis of light response parameters and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters showed that the light saturation point(LSP) of Y-1 in the early growth period was lower than SH1, the compensation point(LCP) was higher than SH1, non photochemical quenching coefficient (NPQ) was significantly higher than SH1, and the primary light energy conversion efficiency (Fv/Fm), photosynthetic electron transfer quantum efficiency (ΦPSⅡ) and apparent electron transfer rate (ETR) of Y-1 were significantly lower than that of SH1 in the early growth stage, and the LSP, PSⅡ, Etr, the chlorophyll content and net photosynthetic rate of Y-1 were significantly higher than those of SH1 at the later growth stage. Different intertstocks had great effects on the growth and leaf photosynthetic characteristics of grafted varieties. Some characteristics of Fuji Nagafu 2 grafted onto Y-1 were better than that of SH1, such as dwarfing, early flowering, easy shaping. In the early growth period, the leaf maturity of Fuji Nagafu 2 in Y-1 lags behind in SH1, so the photosynthetic efficiency of the leaves was low. In the late growth period, the photosynthetic pigment accumulation and Fv/Fm of leaves in Y-1 were higher or significantly higher than that of SH1, and it could effectively control the growth of autumn shoots, which was beneficial to the accumulation of nutrients and the formation of flower buds.

    In order to provide reference for the selection of suitable scion-rootstock combinations in the production of wine grape in Ningxia.Chardonnay and Merlot were grafted with three rootstocks respectively to study the effects of rootstocks on the growth, fruit quality and yield of two kinds of grapes.The results showed that 5BB, 1103P and 110R promoted the growth of Chardonnay in different degrees, among which 1103P increased the trunk diameter, leaf area and SPAD value significantly, and the effect of increasing growth was the most obvious. 5BB significantly increased the reducing sugar and titratable acid content of Chardonnay fruit, while 1103P decreased the accumulation of reducing sugar and increased the content of titratable acid, and 110R had no significant effect on the sugar and acid content. 1103P and 110R significantly reduced the total phenol content of Chardonnay, while 5BB and 1103P increased the anthocyanin content significantly. There was no significant difference in yield per plant between the grafted and self-rooted Chardonnay. The growth of Merlot grafted onto 140R, 5BB and SO4 was slowed down evidently, among which 140R significantly reduced the trunk diameter, new shoot length and diameter, leaf area and SPAD value, and the effect of weakening growth was the most obvious. SO4 significantly decreased the reducing sugar content and increased titratable acid content of Merlot fruit, while 5BB had no significant effect on the reducing sugar content, but significantly increased the titratable acid content, and 140R had no significant effect on sugar and acid content. Three rootstocks improved the tannin and anthocyanin content of Merlot fruit, among which 140R showed a significant raise in tannin content, and the anthocyanin content of SO4 and 140R grafted was obviously higher than that of self-rooted. The rootstock 5BB significantly increased the yield per plant of Merlot.Among the three rootstocks, 5BB was the best one for Chardonnay;but for Merlot, the self-rooted seedling was the best, and the comprehensive performance of 5BB was better than the other two rootstocks in terms of stable growth, quality and yield.

    In order to explore the relationship between the superficial scald and related physiological indexes of Dangshansu pear during storage, the mineral elements(N, P, K, Mg, Ca) content, respiration intensity, ethanol content, relative conductivity(cell membrane permeability), total phenol content, polyphenol oxidase activity(PPO activity), chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and related physiological indexes of Dangshansu pear fruits with different levels of superficial scald were measured, and the correlation between the various physiological indicators and the superficial scald progression was analyzed. The results showed that the content of Ca in fruits of different grades of superficial scald was significantly lower than that of normal fruits(no superficial scald), while the content of N, K, Mg and P were higher than that of normal fruits. There was an extremely significant positive correlation between the incidence degree of superficial scald and N content, and an extremely significant negative correlation between the incidence degree of superficial scald and Ca content. Results showed that the fruit respiration intensity, ethanol content(peel), relative electric conductivity(flesh), total phenol content(peel and core), PPO activity(peel, flesh, core) and incidence degree of superficial scald were very significant positive correlation, both the chlorophyll fluorescence parameters(Fo, Fm, Fv, Fv/Fm, Fv/Fo) of normal fruit peel were significantly higher than superficial scald fruit. It was preliminarily determined that the higher N content and the lower Ca content in the fruit were the main causes of the superficial scald in the late stage of storage. The more serious the superficial scald was, the higher the respiration intensity, ethanol content, tissue membrane permeability and PPO activity were, and the lower the chlorophyll fluorescence parameters of peel(Fm, Fo) were. Therefore, the occurrence of superficial scald during storage can be reduced by regulating mineral nutrients or post harvest calcium supplementation before harvest, so as to improve fruit storage quality.

    Cold stress is a major environmental factor that limits peach growth,development reproduction and distribution. Clarifying the molecular mechanism of peach in response to low temperature stress could provide the research basis for cultivating and screening relatively cold resistant peach varieties. In cold-tolerant peach cultivar Qiuyan were selected as testing materials. 1 year dormant branches were exposed to-5(the control),-15,-25℃under controlled environment chamber for 48 h respectively. Two-dimensional electrophoresis(2-DE)were used to analyze proteomics of cortex of branches under 3 different low temperature treatments. The results showed that a total of 150 differentially expressed proteins were identified by mass spectrometry,97 significantly up-regulated proteins and 53 significantly down-regulated after cold stress. After further analysis of the protein spots by proteome data retrieval,20 proteins related to cold stress were identified,involving amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism,starch and sucrose metabolism,amino acid metabolism,MAPK signaling pathway,phenylalanine metabolism and DNA replication. In addition,Real-time PCR (RT-PCR) indicated that three candidate protein-encoding genes Alpha-amylase(M5VVU6),Chlorophyll a/b binding protein(M5WUQ0)and Epoxide hydrolase 3(D8L7V9)were up-regulated with the increase of cold stress. It suggested that these metabolic pathways and three specific proteins might play an important role in the cold-resistant mechanism in peach.

    This study aims to explore the genetic diversity of Malus at the level of chloroplast gene and the phylogenetic relationship of haplotypes of different species in different regions, so as to provide a basis for its origin and evolution process, protection and utilization. Based on chloroplast intergenic regions trnH-psbA, trnS-trnG spacer+intron, trnT-5'trnL and 5'trnL-trnF, the sequences of 722 accessions of Malus from twelve provinces were analyzed. After four regions merged, the length of four merge regions of chloroplast DNA was 4 120 bp, and the haplotypes of chloroplast DNA fragments were 100, the nucleotide diversity and haplotype diversity of the merged regions were 0.009 52 and 0.879 respectively. The region with highest nucleotide diversity and haplotype diversity was trnH-psbA (Hd=0.808,Pi=0.034 09). Tajima's test showed that the value of four regions merged was -1.503 16, and it was not significant at the P>0.10 level and followed the neutral theory of molecular evolution. AMOVA showed that genetic variation mainly existed among populations and within intraspecific populations.The results of haplotype distribution and network analysis showed that the missing haplotypes in the center of adjacent networks are closed into a ring, and different species of Malus have different evolutionary routes. There were complex relationships among species and germplasms of same species in the process of origin and evolution in different regions. Relatively old haplotypes H_6 and H_15 experienced population expansion, and there were many derived branches. The genetic diversity of Malus at chloroplast gene level was high, and the genetic variation mainly occurs among populations and within intraspecific populations. The genetic evolution of chloroplast genes was dominated by mutation or random drift within populations. The main factors of genetic variation of Malus were intraspecific differences and intrapopulation differences caused by geographical isolation.

    In order to study the effects of nitrogen application rate on the photosynthetic characteristics and assimilation product accumulation of Cabernet gernischet grapes at different growth stages, four urea application rates under drip irrigation conditions were set:150(N1), 300(N2), 450 (N3), 600 kg/ha(N4), 0 kg/ha was set to control(CK), the effects of different nitrogen nutrition on photosynthetic fluorescence parameters and carbon metabolism related indexes of grape leaves at growth period (5 days before flowering,20 days after flowering,50 days after flowering) were analyzed. The results showed that appropriate nitrogen application improved the chlorophyll content and RuBp carboxylase activity of leaves, enhanced the photosynthesis of vines, and increased the chlorophyll fluorescence of leaves which represented as the increase of effective photochemical efficiency (Fv'/Fm'), photochemical quenching coefficient (qP) and actual photochemical efficiency of PSⅡ(ΦPSⅡ) and the decrease of non-photochemical quenching coefficient (NPQ) in leaves. Compared with CK, Fv'/Fm', ΦPSⅡ, and qP under N2 treatment in DAF20 and DAF50 were significantly increased by 16.10%, 17.80%, and 21.49%, 21.13%, and 11.77%, 19.73%, respectively.Appropriate nitrogen application increased the activity of sucrose metabolism-related enzymes and soluble sugar content, but decreased starch content.And throughout the growth period, SPS, SS, and sucrose had the highest values under N3, glucose and fructose had the highest values under N2, while NI and AI had the highest values under N2, N2 and N1 respectively under DBF5, DAF20 and DAF50. Compared with CK, N2 treatment increased the content of soluble sugar, tannin, anthocyanin and the titratable acid content, promoted the fruit setting rate and the ratio of sugar to acid with yield of 14.50 t/ha.In conclusion, the application range of urea from 300 to 450 kg/ha enhanced the photosynthesis of leaves, promoted the synthesis of soluble sugars, thus providing sufficient nutrition for the growth and development of grape fruits.

    The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze HXK gene family in grape. Based on the HXK(hexokinase) gene registration sequence of Arabidopsis thaliana and maize, four HXK genes were identified from the whole genome of Vitis vinifera, namd as VvHXK1, VvHXK2, VvHXK3 and VvHXK4. The bioinformatics analysis were performed on these four genes. The results of protein physicochemical properties showed that the number of amino acids encoded by the four genes was between 412 aa and 524 aa, of which VvHXK4 was a basic amino acid, and the other three were acidic amino acids. In addition, subcellular localization analysis indicated that all four VvHXK genes were localized in the cytoplasm. VvHXK4 was mainly localized in chloroplasts, and VvHXK2 might appear in mitochondria and nucleus. Meanwhile, the secondary structure prediction of the proteins found that the proteins encoded by the four VvHXK genes were mainly α-helix. The structural analysis of exons indicated that VvHXK1 contained 10 exons, and others contained 9 exons, showing that the VvHXK genes were relatively conserved; The initiation of cis-acting element analysis indicated that four VvHXK genes contained ABA response elements, MYB binding region and WRKY transcription factors, but no low temperature response component were found in VvHXK4. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that the homology relationship between VvHXK1 and Arabidopsis AtHXK1 was the closest, indicating that it not only had the functions of regulating growth and development and affecting the growth of roots, but also had the effect of accelerating aging. The homology relationship between VvHXK2 and potato StHXK1 was recent, showing that it could increase the glucose phosphorylation activity in leaf extract or chloroplast. The homology relationship between VvHXK3 and potato StHXKRP1 was the closest, suggesting that VvHXK2 might be able to induce the expression of sugar in leaves. The homology relationship between VvHXK4 and spinach SoHXK1 was recent, which was important for studying the glucose metabolism of grapes. Fluorescence quantitative analysis showed that VvHXK2, VvHXK3 and VvHXK4 had the highest relative expression under the treatment of 20 g/L glucose, which was the most significant for glucose phosphorylation, and low expression under the treatment of fructose and sucrose.

    In order to define the characteristic aromatic components of each grape flavor type,we detected and analyzed the aromatic components of the berries from fifteen grape varieties (include 2 non-aromatic, 5 strawberry aromatic,8 muscat aromatic) using solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).Results showed that the primary components of non-aromatic grape Moldova, Victoria is aldehydes. The relative content of 2-hexenal was the highest among aroma substances;The aroma substances of strawberry aromatic grape Shenfeng, Kyoho, Hupei No.2, Liaofeng, Shuofeng were mainly aldehydes, alcohols and esters; The aromatic substances of muscat aromatic grape were mainly aldehydes and terpenes. The main aldehydes are 2-hexenal and 1-hexanal.Terpenes were mainly linalool, dihydrolinalool, alpha-terpineol, nerol and geraniol. There were differences in aroma substances and substance contents among different grape varieties. This study can provide a theoretical basis for the research of grape aroma mechanism, breeding and promotion in the later stage.
