Abstract : A study was conducted on carbohydrate content in inflorescence, shoot, leaf and bark tissues of current season shoots of mango cv. Nam Dok Mai. The results showed that the total non-structural carbohydrate (TNC) and reducing sugar (RS) content of mango inflorescence tissue gradually decreased as the inflorescence developed from 5 days after bud break to full bloom (25 days after bud break). A similar trend in changes of TNC was found in leaf and bark tissues collected during the same period. However, the TNC content of the shoot and RS content of the shoot, leaf and bark remained constant during the period of inflorescence development.
