Experiments were conducted to investigate indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and abscisic acid (ABA) metabolism associated with postanthesis senescence of ovaries from nonpollinated muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) flowers. Flowers attached to the vine were allowed to senesce for 4 days after anthesis or were harvested at full anthesis and aged for the same time interval with or without access to water. The IAA ester, amide-linked forms of IAA, free ABA, and ABA esters increased in senescent ovaries from flowers left attached to the vine. Detaching flowers from the vine resulted in an accumulation of free and amide-linked IAA in the senescing ovary but suppressed accumulation of ester IAA. Free ABA failed to increase in ovaries detached from the vine. Subjecting detached flowers to water stress had no effect on the endogenous level of free ABA but resulted in the accumulation of ABA ester and suppression of any increase in free IAA. However, detached flowers treated with 0.1 millimolar ABA accumulated 75% less free IAA and initiated the synthesis of ester IAA. Detached flowers treated with ABA also accumulated high levels of ester ABA. These results suggest that the metabolism of free IAA in muskmelon ovary tissue is regulated in situ and not the consequence of external synthesis and importation. ABA appears to be transported into the senescing ovary from an external source and alters the IAA metabolism in such a manner as to suppress the level of free IAA while stimulating accumulation of the ester IAA.
