摘要

Due to their nutritious, crisp and juicy fruit, the commercial cultivation of blueberries industry has experienced rapid development over the last decade. Previous studies have demonstrated a strong correlation between branches and fruits at the macroscopic level. In this study, blueberry fruiting branches were classified into dorsal and terminal branches based on their origin and morphology. We systematically investigated their physiological and biochemical differences through photosynthetic analysis, tissue sectioning, and endogenous substance calibration. Results revealed that leaves on dorsal branches exhibited superior photosynthetic capacity. Meanwhile, fruits from dorsal branches demonstrated earlier maturation phases, higher yields, and superior overall quality scores. The enhanced commercial value of dorsal branch fruits primarily stemmed from their larger transverse diameter, sweeter flavour, and firmer texture. Endogenous hormones present in the fruit were identified as crucial regulators of fruit differentiation. However, limitations in production potential were observed due to the relatively fewer number of dorsal branches and their leaves’ reduced stress resistance. This study concludes optimizing cultivation practices for dorsal branches could enhance planting yields to meet the market demand. Further research into dorsal branch development mechanisms is warranted.
