DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The present application will be further illustrated below in combination with specific examples, which are implemented on the premise of the technical solutions of the present application, and it should be understood that these examples are only used to illustrate the present application and not used to limit the scope of the present application.
[0022] The test site of the present research is the Acer truncatum Bunge test forest in Yangcang Village, Tengzhou City, Shandong Province (117°15'E, 35°08'N), which belongs to a temperate monsoon continental climate with sufficient light and abundant precipitation.

[0023] The Acer truncatum Bunge used in the following examples is from the Acer truncatum Bunge test forest in Yangcang Village, Tengzhou City, Shandong Province, and 10-year-old healthy Acer truncatum Bunge (Acer truncatum Bunge) with consistent site conditions, good growth, healthy tree body, no diseases and insect pests, and normal flowering and fruiting is selected as the test tree. The average tree height is (6.5±0.5) m, the average diameter at breast height is (15.5±0.8) cm, the tree spacing is 8 m x 8 m, and the conventional management is adopted.
[0024] The potassium dihydrogen phosphate used in the following examples is "Guangwang brand power potassium" (KH2PO4≧98%, P2O5≧51%, K2O≧33.8%) produced by Sichuan Runer Technology Co., Ltd.; the gibberellin is "Sanliu brand" gibberellic acid (effective ingredient content 75%) produced by Shanghai Tongrui Biological Technology Co., Ltd.; petroleum ether (analytical pure, boiling range 60-90°C) and methanol (HPLC) are both purchased from National Pharmaceutical Group Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd.; and sodium hydroxide (analytical pure) is purchased from Xilong Chemical Co., Ltd.
[0025] The spraying method of Acer truncatum Bunge in the following examples is as follows: about 5 L of each tree is uniformly sprayed on the leaf surface of Acer truncatum Bunge. The spraying period is from the middle of June to the middle of August, and the best spraying period is to spray once in the middle of June and the middle of July, a total of 2 times. It is necessary to choose a sunny and windless day for spraying, and if it rains after spraying, it is necessary to re-spray.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] In the fast-growing period of Acer truncatum fruit growth and development from June to August in 2023, 10-year-old healthy plants in Yangcangcun Acer truncatum test forest were selected for different times of potassium dihydrogen phosphate and gibberellin leaf spraying test every month, and each month was sprayed once to screen the best exogenous substance type. The exogenous substances used were 3 g / L potassium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution and 50 mg / L GA3 aqueous solution, and three spraying times were set, i.e. 1 time, 2 times and 3 times, with spraying the same amount of water as the control. In early November 2023, when the fruits of Acer truncatum were mature, the alate fruits that developed normally and were complete were collected, and the pericarp and seed coat were removed to determine the content of each fatty acid component of Acer truncatum seeds, and the results are shown in Tables 1-2.
[0028] The test method of each fatty acid component content: accurately take 1.5 g of Acer truncatum kernel sample and grind it into fine powder in a mortar, quantitatively transfer it to a 10 mL centrifuge tube, add 2 mL of analytical pure petroleum ether (boiling range 60-90°C), and place it in a 40 kHz ultrasonic cleaner at 25°C for 2 h, then add 2 mL of 0.4 mol / L methanol-sodium hydroxide solution (preparation method: accurately weigh 1.6 g of sodium hydroxide solid and dissolve it in 100 mL of HPLC methanol), and ultrasonic methyl esterification under the same conditions for 1 h. After the reaction is completed, add distilled water to make up to 10 mL, mix well by vortex oscillator for 30 s, and then centrifuge in a table centrifuge at 5000 r / min for 5 min. Take the supernatant and put it into a brown sample bottle for testing. Use a Japanese Shimadzu gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer QP2010 ultra equipped with a TR-WAX MS capillary column (30.00 m x 0.25 mm x 0.25 μm) for fatty acid component analysis. The carrier gas is high-purity helium, and the constant flow mode is 1.0 mL / min with a split ratio of 10. The program temperature conditions are: initial temperature 80°C, hold for 2.5 min, increase to 210°C at 15°C / min, then increase to 230°C at 2°C / min and hold for 10 min, and the injection port temperature is 200°C. Qualitative analysis is performed by comparing with known fatty acid methyl ester standards, and quantitative analysis is performed by peak area normalization method to calculate the relative content of each fatty acid, as shown in Figure 1

[0030]
[0031]
[0032] Table 2 Effect of different types of exogenous substances on the content of unsaturated fatty acid components in Acer truncatum seeds in 2023
[0033]
[0034] From the results of Table 1 and Table 2, it can be seen that the spraying of potassium dihydrogen phosphate and gibberellin has different degrees of influence on the content of each saturated and unsaturated fatty acid component of Acer truncatum seeds. Compared with the other, the promotion of unsaturated fatty acid component content by potassium dihydrogen phosphate is more favorable. Among them, when T1 treatment, i.e. spraying 1 time with 3 g / L potassium dihydrogen phosphate, the content of unsaturated fatty acid such as a-linolenic acid, g-linolenic acid, erucic acid and nervonic acid in Acer truncatum seeds reaches a high level. Therefore, the potassium dihydrogen phosphate mixed aqueous solution is selected as the best exogenous substance type for improving the content of nervonic acid in Acer truncatum seeds and improving the quality of seed oil.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] Based on the results of the spraying test in 2023, in the fast-growing period of 6-8 months of Acer truncatum fruit growth and development in 2024, 10-year-old healthy plants in Yangcangcun Acer truncatum test forest were selected, and different concentrations (1.5-7.5 g / L) and times of potassium dihydrogen phosphate foliar spraying test were carried out monthly, each month was sprayed once, in order to determine the best spraying concentration and times of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, three spraying times were set, and spraying the same amount of water was used as a control. In early November 2024, when the fruits of Acer truncatum were mature, the alar fruits that developed normally and were complete were collected, the pericarp and seed coat were removed, and the content of each fatty acid component in the seeds was determined. The results are shown in Tables 3-4.
[0037] Test method: In early November 2024 (fruit ripening period), several alar fruits that developed normally were collected from the east, south, west and north directions of the test Acer truncatum, and were put into marked net bags, then were taken back to the laboratory for drying. Several Acer truncatum seed kernels with pericarp and seed coat removed were randomly selected from each treatment for determination of the content of each fatty acid component in the seeds. The specific test method of each fatty acid component content is the same as that of Example 1.

[0042]
[0043]
[0044]
[0045] From the results of Table 3 and Table 4, it can be seen that for the content of each component of the fatty acid of the Acer truncatum Bunge seed, the content of the four fatty acids (heptadecanoic acid, stearic acid, arachidonic acid, and erucic acid) is basically consistent among different treatment groups; the content of the other six fatty acids (palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, α-linolenic acid, γ-linolenic acid, and nervonic acid) shows significant differences, indicating that the spraying of potassium dihydrogen phosphate can cause significant changes in the content, but the increasing and decreasing effects are different.
[0046] From the results of the content of each unsaturated fatty acid of the Acer truncatum Bunge seed, it can be seen that the content of oleic acid reaches the highest level in the A3 treatment, i.e., 1.5 g / L of potassium dihydrogen phosphate is sprayed for three times, which is significantly increased by 1.5% compared with the control group. The content of linoleic acid reaches the highest level in the E3 treatment, i.e., 7.5 g / L of potassium dihydrogen phosphate is sprayed for three times, and the effect of spraying 2 times of 3.0 g / L of potassium dihydrogen phosphate is the second. When 4.5 g / L, 6.0 g / L, or 7.5 g / L of potassium dihydrogen phosphate is sprayed for three times, the content of α-linolenic acid reaches a relatively high level, which is significantly increased by 0.38%, 0.33%, and 0.30% compared with the control group, respectively. The content of γ-linolenic acid is relatively high in the D1, D3, E2, and E3 treatments, which is significantly increased compared with the control. For the content of nervonic acid, except for the spraying of 1.5 g / L of potassium dihydrogen phosphate for two or three times or the spraying of 7.5 g / L of potassium dihydrogen phosphate for three times, due to insufficient or excessive intensity, the content of nervonic acid is increased but the effect is not significant; the remaining spraying treatments can significantly increase the content of nervonic acid in the Acer truncatum Bunge seed oil, which shows that the spraying of potassium dihydrogen phosphate with an appropriate concentration and number of times has a very obvious positive promoting effect on the increase of the content of nervonic acid, and the content of nervonic acid reaches the highest level of 8.04% in the D2 treatment, i.e., 6.0 g / L of potassium dihydrogen phosphate is sprayed for two times, which is increased by 2.14% compared with the control group, and the effects of the C3 and B2 treatments are the second, and the content of nervonic acid is 7.80% and 7.49%, respectively, which is increased by 1.90% and 1.59% compared with the control group, respectively.
[0047] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the technical field, some improvements and refinements can be made without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
