From experiments conducted over several seasons it was found that naringin production in grapefruit takes place mainly during the early stages of fruit development. In the most definitive study, developing grapefruit and adjacent leaves were exposed to 14C labeled carbon dioxide at weekly intervals following fruit set. The relative amount of CO2 fixed and available for conversion at different treatment times was determined by measuring the 14C activity in the soluble carbohydrate and organic acid fraction of the fruit. Activity was also followed in the naringenin rhamnoglucoside fraction. Carbon dioxide incorporation into the sugar-acids did not vary by greater than a factor of 10 for those exposures conducted from early April to mid-November. The ratio of activity in the naringenin rhamnoglucoside fraction to that in the sugar-acid fraction reached a pronounced maximum in mid-April and then declined rapidly by mid-June to 1/3000 of the peak value. A uniformly low ratio of incorporation into the naringenin rhamnoglucoside fraction is maintained to early maturity (October). Preliminary evidence suggests that minor subsequent rises in naringin production may coincide with periods of rapid vegetative growth.
