The application relates to an application method of L-tert-
leucine for improving the quality and storability of Gala apples, which comprises the following steps: selecting a test apple
orchard base, selecting Gala apple trees, and spraying different concentrations of exogenous L-tert-
leucine on the selected test apple trees in a
fruit development period; picking 8-9 mature Gala fruits, storing the fruits, and comparing the fruit quality indexes of different groups and comparing various measured data. According to the application method, spraying 500 mg / L
mass concentration L-tert-
leucine on the leaves of Gala apples in a growth period can significantly promote the yellow coloration and brightness increase of the Gala apples at the time of harvesting, improve the fruit
hardness, TSS content, TA content, soluble
protein content and
free amino acid content, is beneficial to maintaining the fruit
hardness and soluble
protein content during
cold storage, delaying the decrease of the fruit
hardness and soluble
protein content, inhibiting the decrease of the TSS content and TA content and the increase of the
free amino acid during
cold storage, and keeping the Gala apple fruits with lower POD activity and higher SOD activity.
