蔷薇科植物中，与山梨醇代谢相关的酶主要有：62磷酸山梨醇脱氢酶、山梨醇脱氢酶和山梨醇氧化酶。综述了近些年来国内外关于这几种酶的研究进展，涉及的内容有：酶的性质与作用、酶的活性变化与转录的关系，及其在生物技术方面的研究成果，并对今后的研究工作进行了展望。

Bench-grafted 'Fuji/M.26' apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) trees received a constant nitrogen (N) supply (10.7mM) from bud break to the end of June, and were then fertigated with 0, 5, 10, 15 or 20mM N in a modified Hoagland's solution for 2 months during the summer. In mid-October, half of the trees fertigated at each N concentration were sprayed twice with 3% urea, whereas the remaining trees served as controls. All trees were harvested after natural leaf fall and were stored at 2℃. Five trees from each of the N treatment combinations were destructively sampled during dormancy to determine the composition of N and total nonstructural carbohydrates (TNC). As the N supply from fertigation increased, amounts of N in both free amino acids and proteins increased, whereas C/N ratios decreased. Foliar urea applications in the fall significantly increased amounts of N in both free amino acids and proteins, but decreased their C/N ratios. Arginine, the most abundant amino acid in both free amino acids and in proteins, accounted for an increasing proportion of N in free amino acids and proteins with increasingNsupply from fertigation or foliar urea application. The ratio of proteinNto free amino acidNdecreased from about 27.1 to 3.2 as N supply from fertigation increased from 0 to 20mM, and decreased further to 3.0 in response to foliar urea applications in the fall. Concentrations of glucose, fructose, sucrose and TNC decreased as theNsupply from fertigation increased, whereas concentrations of sorbitol and starch remained relatively unchanged. Foliar urea applications decreased the concentration of eachTNCcomponent and theTNCconcentration in each N fertigation treatment. A negative linear relationship was found between carbon in TNC and N in proteins and free amino acids. The sum of carbon in TNC, proteins and free amino acids remained constant in response to N supply from fertigation. However, foliar urea applications decreased the sum of carbon in proteins, free amino acids and TNC because about 21% of the decrease in TNC carbonwas not recovered in free amino acids or proteins.Young apple trees storeNand carbon dynamically in response to N supply. As N supply increases, an increasing proportion of N is found in the form of free amino acids, which have a low carbon cost, although proteins remain the main form of N storage. Furthermore, part of the carbon from TNC is incorporated into amino acids and proteins, proteins, decreasing the carbon stored as TNC and increasing the carbon stored as amino acids and proteins.

通过对原产于不同地区的51个杏品种的性器官发育和结实性的系统调查和测定，结果表明，1. 花粉大小和形状少数虽有一定差异，而绝大多数品种相似，品种问花粉萌发率尽管差异很大，但所有品种均为花粉可育型；2. 大多数品种不完全花百分率很高，自然授粉结实率很低，其主要原因是雌蕊败育；3. 品种间不完全花百分率与花粉萌发率呈正相关；4. 欧洲生态群品种与中国生态群品种比较花粉大小和形状基本相似，而花粉萌发率和不完全花百分率低，自然授粉结实率高；5. 欧洲生态群品种能白花结实，而中国生态群品种均为自花不实品种。
