The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 20 mg/L 2,4-D on the quality during ripening of on-tree longan fruits. We investigated external and internal properties of the on-tree longan fruits. The results showed that 2,4-D treatment promotes the growth based on the fruit size and weight. The respiration rate, contents of TSS, total soluble sugar, sucrose, glucose, fructose, and hexose revealed an increasing tendency with advancing the maturity and reached the high status during 110-126DPA. By contrast, the relative electric conductivity and TA content displayed a declining trend during the ripening stage, increase with the senescence. All these pieces of information indicated that 2,4-D treatment could effectively promote the sensory quality of on-tree longan fruit, prolong the harvest time to 118DPA, while CK should harvest before 110DPA. |
