Abstract

An increase in polar amino acids especially in hydrophilic and charged amino acids and a decrease in hydrophobic amino acids were observed in developing apple flower buds from July to November (beginning of dormancy). This suggests that polar amino acids may play a role in dormancy of apple flower buds similar to that of other polar substances. A 2nd‐degree polynomial was observed for hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and charged amino acid content, during growth and development.
