Lichun) fruit to analyze the relationship between calcium and ABA in relation to ethylene biosynthesis system. The ethylene production of discs excised from mature green tomato fruits increased rapidly with 100 mol/LABA or 100 mmol/L calcium treatment, and the increasement of the two treatments at the same time was more than that of single chemical application, which suggested that these two chemicals would play their roles synergistically in the ethylene synthesis of mature green tomato fruits. It was also founded that application of the calcium chelator EGTA ( ethyleneglycol-bis (茁 -aminoethylether) -N,N-tetraacetic acid) inhibited the ethylene synthesis, and the production of ethylene applied with EGTA plus ABA was higher than that of treatment with EGTA alone. However, the effect changed when treated the immature fruits with these chemicals. ABA inhibited the ethylene synthesis obviously and calcium still promoted it. We treated the immature fruit discs with both calcium and ABA simultaneously, the ethylene production was more than that of ABA and less than that of calcium, which indicated that ABA and
