Long-term nitrogen fertilization alters the partitioning of amino acids between citrus leaves and fruits by Yuanlai Zhao, Huaye Xiong, Yayin Luo, Bin Hu, Jie Wang, Xiaodong Tang, Yuehong Wang, Xiaojun Shi, Xiaojun Shi, Yueqiang Zhang, Yueqiang Zhang, Heinz Rennenberg, Heinz Rennenberg

“…However, information on free amino acid contents in leaves of fruiting and non-fruiting branches during long-term N fertilizer application remains scarce.MethodsHere, a four-year field experiment (2018-2021) in a citrus orchard revealed consistently lower total N and amino acid contents in leaves of fruiting compared to non-fruiting branches.Results and discussionAppropriate N fertilizer application increased free amino acid and total N contents in leaves of both types of branches and fruits, but excessive amounts led to decreases. Correlation analysis showed that, in the early stage of fruit development, leaves on both types of branches can meet the N requirements of the fruit (R²=0.77 for fruiting, R²=0.82 for non-fruiting). …”
