Abstract
Evolution of growth and of some physiological and biochemical criteria in peach fruit (cv Suncrest) were investigated in relation to carbon supply: normal cultural conditions (30 leaves per fruit, T30) or very poor supply (6 leaves per fruit, T6). While T30 fruits had a typical and normal growth, T6 fruits grew very slowly to reach a lower weight (75 g) than T30 fruits (180 g). In T6 fruits autocatalytic production of ethylene was delayed (two weeks later) and remained much lower; glucose, fructose and especially sucrose accumulated more slowly; the metabolism of malate and citrate anions was modified.
So T6 fruits were less sweet and more acid than T30 fruits, corresponding to a poor organoleptic quality.
Trees suffering from nutritional stress cannot produce fruits with good quality.
