Abstract

This study investigates the temporal dynamics of chlorophyll content in floral and non-floral buds of ‘Miyabi Fuji’ apple trees. Chlorophyll levels were assessed at two distinct stages prior to bud burst. Initially, floral buds exhibited lower chlorophyll concentrations compared to non-floral buds; however, as bud burst approached, a notable increase in chlorophyll content was observed in the floral buds.
