Carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus transport within the fruit tree are complex processes involving source-sink interactions. Understanding the difference of leaf stoichiometry between fruiting branches and vegetative branches of winter jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill. cv. Dongzao) can provide sight into the source-sink relationship. The study investigated the seasonal dynamics and the difference of the leaf stoichiometry between vegetative branches and fruiting branches of winter jujube. The study investigated the seasonal dynamics and the difference of the leaf stoichiometry between vegetative branches and fruiting branches of winter jujube. The results showed that the leaf C content was significantly higher (p<0.05) in the fruiting branch than in the vegetative branch in most growth stages except for the Full flowering stage. The leaf N and P contents were both higher in vegetative branch than in fruiting branch in most growth stages, but only in a few growth stages, these differences reached a significant level. There was a significant correlation between the leaf stoichiometric indices examined such as N and
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
