Abstract:
      The ability of cold resistance of almond was analyzed by the formulation of LT50, the investigation of over-wintering, the measurement of water content in dormant period and the analysis of anatomical structure in the annual branches of two introduced varieties (Fritz and Nonpareil) .The results showed: the LT50 of Fritz, Nonpareil and CK was-24.88℃, -20.56℃ and-17.15℃, respectively;the index of chilling injury of these varieties was 10%, 45% and 87%, respectively;and the classification of cold resistance was in turn high resisting, moderate resisting and easily shoot-shriveling.So the cold resistance ability of both the tested species was better than that of CK, in which the cold resistance ability of Fritz was the strongest.The main cause of chilling injury in the annual branches was the losing of water at critical period;the reasons of anatomical structure was the thick epidermis, the loose arranging of parenchyma in cortex, and the undeveloped parenchyma in best.
