Abstract
The duct systems of the mango fruit and its stalk penetrate the abscission zone of the fruit. These duct systems are parallel with no interconnections. The fruit ducts in the abscission zone release irritant resin when picked before ripening.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
