Article Abstract

The effects of three canopy shapes, i.e., vertical canopy, V-shaped canopy and horizontal canopy, on canopy microenvironment, quality of leaves and fruits were studied in the 3-year-old grape 'Jingmi' grafted on ' Beta' in greenhouse. The results showed that gap fraction and openness of vertical canopy were significantly higher than that of V-shaped canopy and horizontal canopy, and leaf area index, light interception rate and canopy temperature difference between day and night were significantly lower than those of V-shaped canopy and horizontal canopy. There was no significant difference between the latter two treatments. The palisade thickness of V-shaped canopy was significantly greater than that of vertical canopy, and horizontal canopy was in the middle. The chlorophyll and carotenoid contents of V-shaped canopy were significantly higher than those of vertical canopy and horizontal canopy, and those in the latter two treatments had no significant difference. The fruit quality of V-shaped canopy was the best, and that of horizontal canopy was the worst. The results of GC-MS analysis showed that 29 types of volatile aroma compounds were detected in V-shaped canopy, but just 17 and 16 in vertical canopy and horizontal canopy, respectively. In V-shaped canopy, the characteristic aroma in grape 'Jingmi' was higher, except ethanol, trans-2- hexene-1-alcohol, 2-octyl ketone and formic acid ester. The linalool content in vertical canopy and V-shaped canopy was higher than that in horizontal canopy. The nerol content in V-shaped canopy was higher than that in vertical canopy and horizontal canopy, and the leaf alcohol content in V-shaped canopy and horizontal canopy was higher than that in vertical canopy. The citronellol was de-tected only in V-shaped canopy. In greenhouse, the fruit aroma of V-shaped canopy grape was stronger, and well reflected the variety characteristics.

Article Synopsis
  • Understanding vertical patterns of canopy structure and solar radiation in aquatic vegetation is crucial for creating reflection models and studying wetland ecology.
  • This study focuses on the structural characteristics and solar radiation variations of two types of emergent aquatic vegetation (EAVs) across seasons, revealing differences in physiological and biochemical properties during growth stages.
  • Results indicated that direct solar radiation decreases with depth and is influenced more by canopy structure than by leaf pigments, allowing for precise estimations of varied structural parameters using a negative binomial function for stratified transmittance.

The flavonoids and phenolic acids in grape berries greatly influence the quality of wine. Various methods are used to shape and prune grapevines, but their effects on the flavonoids and phenolic acids remain unclear. The flavonoids and phenolic acids in the berry pericarps from grapevines pruned using three types of leaf canopy, namely, V-shaped, T-shaped, and vertical shoot-positioned (VSP) canopies, were compared in this study.

On the ratio of intercellular to ambient CO (c /c ) derived from ecosystem flux.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how the ratio of intercellular to ambient CO concentrations (c/c) varies in a rubber tree ecosystem and identifies factors influencing these variations.
  • It finds that c/c is not constant; there is a "V"-shaped diurnal pattern and that it changes across environmental gradients, particularly being influenced by water vapor pressure deficit (D).
  • A simpler model based on D was as effective in predicting c/c as more complex models, suggesting that incorporating longer-term factors like soil water content can enhance predictions of c/c.

Some proteolytic enzymes occurring in the leaves of field-grown corn (Zea mays) (B73) were identified and partially characterized. Changes in activities of several proteolytic enzymes and in concentrations of protein and chlorophyll as a function of intraleaf segments (tip to base), leaf position, and leaf senescence during grain development and maturation were followed in crude leaf extracts.The aminopeptidase (not affected by sulfhydryl or fluoride reagents) was most active at pH 7, while the carboxypeptidase(s) (sensitive to fluoride, but insensitive to sulfhydryl reagents) was most active in the acid range, pH 3 to 6.
