The effects of exogenous application of ABA (0.1 mM), ethephon (6.6 mM), silver thiosulphate (STS; 2.0 mM), potassium cyanide (KCN; 5.0 mM) and ACC (0.1 mM) on cherry (cv. Bigarreau Napoleon) fruit ripening were studied. All treatments significantly enhanced the respiratory activity of harvested ripening fruits. Ethephon, STS, KCN and ACC application stimulated ethylene production, whereas ABA had no significant effect on ethylene production. ABA application promoted anthocyanin formation. The role of growth regulators in the development and ripening of cherry fruits both on and off the tree is discussed.
