Abstract
To investigate effects of binding treatments of branches (FMB, fruiting mother branch; PSB, secondary scaffold branch; SSB, primary scaffold branch) on enlargement and coloring of persimmon 'Fuyu' fruits in ripening period, the branches were bound by steel wire. For eight weeks after binding treatments, Hunter $a^*$ of fruit peel in FMB and SSB binding treatments was more increased than in the others. In fruit characteristics harvested at eight weeks after the binding treatments, the fruit weight was heavier in the binding treatments than in control, the first of those was in SSB binding. The fruit height was higher in SSB binding than in the others, but the fruit diameter was longer in FMB and SSB binding treatments. Solid soluble content was higher in FMB and PSB binding treatments. $Chroma^*$ of the fruit peel was higher in FMB and PSB binding treatments as Hunter $a^*$ and $b^*$ values were higher and lower in FMB and SSB binding treatments, respectively. Lycopene and $\beta$-carotene content in the fruit peel were higher significantly in PSB and SSB binding treatments, total chlorophyll content in all the binding treatments was lower than in control.
