Determination of Fruit Tree Reserves

Nutrients stored in fruit trees are crucial for their growth, particularly in deciduous species, as the initial phases of development each season rely on various reserve nutrients accumulated from the preceding cycle. Determining these reserves is crucial for fruit tree researchers and growers in assessing the growth of fruit trees.

Lifeasible can provide reliable testing solutions for fruit tree reserve determination and research by measuring starch, proline and total protein, and our support of this service plays a vital role in the development of fruit tree management programs to improve the quality of fruit trees.

Importance of Fruit Tree Reserves Determination

Measuring fruit tree reserves is an important part of health management. We improve the measurement of key indicators such as starch, protein, and proline, which are directly linked to the nutrient status and growth potential of the fruit tree. Here are a few examples of the importance of measuring fruit tree reserves.

• Optimize the fertilization program. By measuring fruit tree reserves, a more precise fertilization program can be developed based on the actual nutrient requirements of the fruit trees.
• Improve fruit quality. Determination of fruit tree reserves ensures that fruit trees receive sufficient nutrients during the critical growth period, thus improving fruit quality.
• Predict and improve yields. Understanding nutrient reserves facilitates precise yield predictions and enables the implementation of strategies to enhance the resilience of fruit trees against diseases and environmental stresses.

Our Service for Fruit Tree Reserves Determination

We offer a comprehensive service for the determination of fruit tree reserves, such as the determination of fruit tree starch content, proline content, and total protein content.

Determination of starch content in fruit trees

Starch is an essential form of energy reserve for fruit trees, and its content directly affects the growth vigor of fruit trees. When we measure the starch content of fruit trees, we choose the most suitable method according to the requirements of the customer's project and the characteristics of the material. For example, we use the acid hydrolysis method for the determination of starch content in fruit trees, through the complete hydrolysis of starch into glucose, and then under the action of concentrated sulfuric acid, so that the dehydration of monosaccharides to generate furfural compounds, the use of spectrophotometer for colorimetric determination.

Determination of proline content in fruit trees

Proline is an important osmoregulatory substance in plant adversity, and its content can reflect the resistance of fruit trees. We usually use the ninhydrin colorimetric method for determination, under acidic conditions ninhydrin and proline reaction to generate stable red compounds, at a specific wavelength with the maximum absorption peak, through the colorimetric determination of its content.

Total protein content in fruit trees

Protein is the basis of life activities, and determining total protein content helps evaluate fruit trees' growth and development status. We offer a variety of methods for the determination of total protein in fruit trees. For example, we use the Coomassie blue staining method to determine total protein in fruit trees, which is highly sensitive, easy to operate, and can be used to determine the amount of protein bound to it by measuring the increase in light absorption at a specific wavelength field.
