Abstract
Summary Abscission in mango fruits is associated with a higher peroxidase (PO) activity compared with normal fruits. This higher activity is also present in fruits from the Haden cultivar which has a higher rate of fruit abscission compared with Sensation which is a heavy bearer. No qualitative change in PO isoenzymes was found but only a quantitative increase in the intensity of two isoenzymes from the abscised fruits. The isoenzymes showed qualitative differences between the two cultivars. The possible relationship between increased PO activity, ethylene synthesis and abscission is discussed.
