Abscisic acid (ABA), applied to intact apple fruit Jonathan cv., attached to a shoot, greatly accelerated the rate of ethylene evolution, and was followed by faster fruit ripening, but did not affect the characteristic time course changes in the 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) level in apple flesh. The higher rate of C2H4 production in ABA-treated apples in comparison to the control was probably a result of the faster breakdown of ACC due to the increased level of ABA. (Author)
