Abstract : To better understand the role of nitric oxide (NO) in mango fruit ripening, fruit that was pretreated with salicylic acid (SA) and NO was stored at 25°C for 11 days. Fruit firmness, ethylene production, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA) and vitamin C content were monitored. The expression of six genes involved in ethylene biosynthesis and signalling, namely, MiACO, MiACS, MiETR1, Mi
