Abstract
The physiological basis for plum (Prunus domestica L. cv. Fellenberg) fruit abscission induced by larvae of the plum curculio, Conotrachelus nenuphar (Herbst), appear to be pectinases and cellulase released into fruits by feeding larvae. About 45% more plums receiving active commercial pectinase and cellulase abscised than fruits receiving inactivated enzymes.
