Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is a compound and composition capable of increasing a sugar content in a fruit by a simple method, without being restricted by a cultivation area of a plant or a climatic environment. The agent for increasing a sugar content in a fruit of a plant comprises a compound represented by the formula MX as an active ingredient, wherein M represents alkali metal ion or alkaline earth metal ion, and X represents carbonate ion, hydrogen carbonate ion, acetate ion, citrate ion, succinate ion, phosphate ion, hydrogen phosphate ion, or pyrophosphate ion.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for increasing a concentration of an amino acid contained in a plant body, comprising applying a composition comprising a compound represented by the formula MX as an active ingredient to the plant, wherein M is potassium ion, and X is hydrogen carbonate ion, and wherein the plant is grape. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by the formula MX is the only active ingredient in the composition. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises a vegetable oil and/or vegetable fat. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises a surfactant. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is applied in a period from 2 months before an expected harvest date or a harvest date of the fruit to 2 months after the expected harvest date or the harvest date. 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by the formula MX is applied to the plant at a concentration in a range from 1 g/L to 100 g/L. 7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by the formula MX is applied to the plant at a dose in a range from 1 kg/ha to 30 kg/ha. 8. A method for increasing a concentration of an amino acid contained in a plant body, comprising applying to the plant a composition comprising: a compound represented by the formula MX as an active ingredient, wherein M is potassium or sodium ion, and X is hydrogen carbonate ion or carbonate ion; and a vegetable oil and/or vegetable fat, wherein the compound represented by the formula MX is applied to the plant at a concentration in a range from 1 g/L to 100 g/L, and wherein the vegetable oil and/or vegetable fat is applied to the plant at a ratio of 1 to 30 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the compound represented by the formula MX. 9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein M is potassium ion and X is hydrogen carbonate ion. 10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the plant is grape. 11. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the compound represented by the formula MX is the only active ingredient in the composition. 12. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the composition further comprises a surfactant. 13. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the composition is applied in a period from 2 months before an expected harvest date or a harvest date of the fruit to 2 months after the expected harvest date or the harvest date. 14. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the compound represented by the formula MX is applied to the plant at a concentration in a range from 1 g/L to 50 g/L. 15. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the compound represented by the formula MX is applied to the plant at a dose in a range from 1 kg/ha to 30 kg/ha.
