Crop load reshapes apple fruit metabolism, not just yield and fruit size. Across 57 metabolites, sorbitol was highly responsive while fructose stayed stable, revealing how apple's dual sorbitol/sucrose carbon system responds to changing fruit demand. doi.org/10.21273/JASHS05635-…

Responses of Primary and Secondary Metabolites of ‘Gala’ Apple to Crop Load

Crop load affects apple fruit quality by altering carbon availability for fruit development, yet its metabolic consequences across development are incompletely characterized. We imposed low, medium,...
