Abstract:In order to prevent flowers and young fruits of kernel apricot were damaged by late frost and low temperature in spring, we looked for protection measures. Effects of different concentrations of exogenous hormone ABA and GA3 on cold resistant physiology of flowers and young fruits of Yiwofeng and Youyi were studied. The results showed that in the flowers and young fruits of Yiwofeng and Youyi, MDA contents were decreased, while the activities of SOD and POD enzyme were enhanced, however the contents of soluble protein and soluble sugar were increased in different degree, by spraying different concentrations of ABA on the buds during the bud intumescence stage. The effect of spraying concentration of 20 mg · L-1 ABA was the best. Compared with CK, MDA contents were decreased by 32.03%, while the activities of SOD and POD enzyme were enhanced by 8.3% and 17.41%, and the contents of soluble sugar were increased by 15.01% in the flowers of Yiwofeng. And MDA contents were decreased by 31.23%, and the activities of SOD and POD enzyme were enhanced by22.98% and 16.74%, and the contents of soluble protein were increased by 36.72% in the young fruits of Youyi. In the flowers and young fruits of Yiwofeng, MDA contents were decreased, but did not reach significant difference compared with CK, the activities of SOD and POD enzyme were not enhanced, and the contents of soluble protein and soluble sugar were not increased, by spraying different concentrations of GA3 on the buds during the bud of Yiwofeng intumescence stage. It is concluded that the way of spraying ABA can improve cold resistance of flowers and young fruits of Yiwofeng and Youyi, by adjusting its physiological and biochemical processes, but the way of spraying GA3 can not improve cold resistance of flowers and young fruits of Yiwofeng. During the bud intumescence stage, spraying 20 mg · L-1 ABA can prevent flowers and young fruits of kernel apricot were damaged by late frost and low temperature in spring. It provides guidance basis on protection measures for flowers and young fruits of kernel apricot.
