Studies on Changes in Carbohydrate Metabolism in Regular Bearing and “Off” Season Bearing Cultivars of Mango (Mangifera indica L.) During Flowering

Studies were conducted at Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bangalore, India, to compare the role of carbohydrate and its metabolizing enzymes in “off” season bearing cultivar Royal Special and regular bearing cultivar Totapuri during the time of flowering. Totapuri is a regular bearing cultivar mainly used for processing and has high yielding potential. “Off” seasonal cropping in mango is the unique feature of mango cultivar Royal Special which contributes to “off” season mango production under South Indian conditions. During the bud swelling stage, the maximum reducing sugars contents were recorded while higher chlorophyll a and b values were recorded during bud break stage in ‘Royal Special’ as compared to ‘Totapuri’. Higher acid invertase activity was recorded during emergence of panicles, and increased amylase activity was observed during pre-swelling stage in ‘Royal Special’. Sucrose and its metabolizing enzymatic activities increased during flowering, indicating their decisive role in the flowering process in the case of both cultivars of mango.
