Abstract:Fruits of ‘Xile’ and ‘Venus Seedless’ grapevines were treated with GA3 at 0, 10, 25, 50, 100 or 200 mg·L-1 after full bloom. The results showed that GA3 treatment increased fruit size and hardness and delayed fruit ripening. The effect of GA3 on fruit quality varied in different varieties. In ‘Xile’ grape, low concentrations GA3 (10, 25 and 50 mg·L-1) significantly increased the total soluble solid (TSS), TSS to titratable acid content (TAC) ratio, and soluble sugar content (SSC), but decreased TAC. Treatment of 50 mg·L-1 GA3 showed the most significant effect; however, in ‘Venus Seedless’, fruit quality was lower in all GA3 treatments than in water control.
