Alterations in Leaf Metabolites and Antioxidant Defense Induced by Girdling in ‘YaLi’ Pear Under Subtropical Conditions of North‐West India
The investigations were conducted to study the impact of girdling treatments on leaf metabolic changes in low chill ‘YaLi’ pear cultivar trained under Espalier system. It focuses on leaf antioxidant defense mechanisms, accumulation of osmolytes, secondary metabolites, and their impact on vegetative growth and fruit pro...
