摘要
The effect of light on carbon dioxide and oxygen exchange was described in apple fruits. A photosynthetic activity of the fruit could be demonstrated in this way. During the period of cell growth both fruit photosynthesis and respiration decreased and were found to be of the same order of magnitude. At the moment of ripening, while the climacteric rise of respiration took place, photosynthetic activity remained however constant. The photosynthetic apparatus was found to undergo different changes during ripening. Experiments with fruits, grown on the tree in continuous darkness, showed that light, shining on the fruit, had an effect on the photosynthetic activity as well as on the distribution of malic acid in the apple, but that it had no effect on fruit growth. © 1969 Dr. W.
