Abstract

Abstract:

In order to clarify the differences in the adaptability of branches and leaves of different oriental cherry cultivars in resource utilization， biomass allocation， and leaf display strategies， and the effect of current twig stem structure on leaf spreading efficiency were discussed. 15 oriental cherry cultivars in Fuzhou National Forest Park were used as materials， and the stem length and stem slender ratio were used as the proxy of stem structure traits， and the leaf density， leaf/stem mass ratio and leaf area ratio were used to characterize the leaf spreading efficiency， and oriental cherry cultivars with greater leaf display efficiency were screened， the standardized major axis estimation （SMA） was employed to identify whether there was a significant difference on the link between stem structure and leaf display efficiency among different cultivars. The results showed that：（1）In 15 oriental cherry cultivars， there was a substantial negative relationship between stem structure and leaf display efficiency， with stem length and stem slender ratio increased， leaf density， leaf/stem mass ratio and leaf area ratio all steadily decreased respectively. （2）The leaf/stem mass ratio， leaf area ratio and leaf density of 15 cherry cultivars differed with stem structure increased. ‘Hejin’（HJ）， ‘Taiwan mudan’（TWMD） and ‘Yunnan’（YNDY） performed better in terms of leaf density. In terms of leaf area ratio， ‘Danhong’（DH）， YNDY and HJ performed better； that was， YNDY and HJ had higher leaf density and leaf area ratio under a specific stem structure. （3）Under specific stem structures， ‘Xishi’（XS）， ‘Chumeiren’（CMR）， ‘Jingweng’（JW） and HJ showed greater leaf/stem mass ratios. Combined with florescence， ‘Hejin’（HJ） had relatively higher leaf spreading efficiency and longer flowering period， which could be widely planted.
