Potassium fertilization arrests malate accumulation and alters soluble sugar metabolism in apple fruit

Effects of different potassium (K) levels, which were K0 (no fertilizer), K1 (71.5 g KCl plant−1 year−1), K2 (286.7 g KCl plant−1 year−1), and K3 (434 g KCl plant−1 year−1), were evaluated based on sugar and organic acid metabolism levels from 70–126 days after bloom (DAB) in the developing fruit of...
