Nitrogen and sugar contents and the ratio of carbon to nitrogen in the buds of ‘Qinguan’ and ‘Nagafu No. 2’ apple varieties during the flower bud physiological differentiation stage. a Sucrose. b Glucose. c Fructose. d Sorbitol. e Starch. f Total sugar. g Nitrogen. h C/N. N%: percentage of nitrogen content; C/N: carbon to nitrogen ratio. ES, MS, and LS correspond to the early, middle, and late stages of flower bud differentiation, respectively. Data are presented as the mean ± standard error, n = 3. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ns, non-significant (p > 0.05)
