Title: Growth Regulator Effects on Ethylene Production from Calamondin Flowers1
Abstract: Abstract Ethylene production by senescing flowers of calamondin ( Citrus madurensis Lour.), at rates as high as 15 nl/g fresh weight-hour did not necessarily induce absicission. Moreover, combinations of gibberellic acid (GA), calcium dihydrophosphate and 6-benzylamino purine (BA), which are known to increase fruit set in citrus, did not significantly decrease ethylene production. Abscission of calamondin fruitlets and increases in fruit set appear to be independent of ethylene production.
