The efect of temperature on the ability of 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (ethephon, ETH) and the 1-aminocyclopropane carboxylic acid (ACC) to induce ethylene production in fruitlets and abscission of fruitlets and leaves when applied at postbloom (~15 mm fruit diameter) was studied using 5-year-old ‘Sweet Lady’/Rootpac-20 peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] trees kept in pots in environment-controlled growth rooms. ETH at 150 mg L−1 and ACC at 500 mg L−1 efectively thinned peaches. Increasing the temperature from 10 to 20 °C pronounced the ETH-induced fruit and leaf abscission and the ACC-induced leaf abscission and decreased stomatal conductance in leaves. However, the ACC thinning efect was not afected by increasing temperature, as well as ETH- and ACC-induced ethylene production in fruitlets and in the quantum yield of PSII photochemistry. Changes in ethylene peak in fruitlets and stomatal conductance in leaves were related to the abscission response.
