The Effect of Foliar Application of K<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> or KH<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> on Skin Color of the ‘Kyoho’ Grape

Anthocyanins in red grape skin have a positive effect on fruit color and human health. The effect of foliar potassium application on anthocyanin accumulation in grape skin is not well understood.

In this study, we investigated the effects of foliar application of KH<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> (T2), K<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> (T1) and distilled water (CK) on the skin color of ‘Kyoho’ grapes at mid-ripe and mature stages.

T1 and T2 had lower lightness (L*) than CK, and the color index of red grapes (CIRG) under T1 and T2 increased at two stages compared to CK. KEGG metabolic pathway analysis revealed that flavonoid biosynthesis was the most significantly enriched pathway in CK vs. T2 at 90 and 110 DAFB.
