title: [Study on physiological trait changes in growth process of different varieties of Lonicera japonica].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the physiological trait changes in the growth process of different varieties of Lonicera japonica, and to explore the growth regularity.
  
  
  METHODS
  Length, color, flowering rate and drying rate in the growth and development process of different varieties of Lonicera japonica were observed. Nonlinear regression analysis was used to conclude the growth simulation curve equation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Among different varieties and different sections of the same branch, the growth showed a similar law, the drying rates of the 'sanqing' period got the maximum value in all of the three varieties, the weight of the flower in 'erbai' period was the highest, and no differences between varieties. The R2 of the two curve equations was 0.996 and 0.995, respectively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Both of two curve equations can reply the growth regularity of Lonicera japonica flower very well. Study on the growth process systematically can guide the agricultural production very well.
