Mode of action of abscisic acid in triggering ethylene biosynthesis and softening during ripening in mango fruit

Mode of action of abscisic acid in triggering ethylene biosynthesis and softening during ripening in mango fruit

The role of abscisic acid (ABA) in triggering ethylene biosynthesis and ripening of mango fruit was investigated by applying ABA [S-(+)-cis,trans-abscisic acid] and an inhibitor of its biosynthesis [nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA)]. Application of 1 mM ABA accelerated ethylene biosynthesis through...
