SFB 564: D6.2 - Causes, effects and prevention of premature fruit drop in mango
Project
Project code: DFG SFB 564
Contract period: 01.07.2009
- 30.06.2012
Purpose of research: Basic research
The research effort attempts to provide some understanding of specific plant processes involved in fruit drop of mango (Mangifera indica L.) in response to environmental and/or crop management triggers. The focus is aimed at combining expertise in hormone, carbohydrate and molecular physiology and applying it to detailed field and laboratory studies. In addition, fruit quality will be evaluated to establish at- and post-harvest quality criteria. This research project will help to elucidate new leads in the fruit drop mechanism of mango and to devise orchard management practices that enhance fruit retention and quality.
