[Objective] The aim was to clear the relationship between fruit growth and development and endogenous hormones content in the pulp of Dangshansu pear.[Method] Choosing Dangshansu pear as material,the dynamic changes of endogenous hormones in pulp during various development stages were determined by means of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）.[Result] The results indicated that the content of endogenous hormones like ZR,GA and IAA promoting fruit growth showed increase trend within 15 d after pollination,and higher content of ZR,GA and IAA could promote ovary development and normal fruit setting of Dangshansu pear.The content of ZR in pulp had the highest value at the beginning of the first fast growth period,and then showed decrease trend until fruit became mature.The dynamic changes of IAA and GA were similar,namely their contents were higher in the first fast growth period,and decreased with fruit development,and then increased rapidly and was up to the maximum value in the second fast growth period,corresponding with the growth dynamic of fruit.The peaks of ABA content could be found on the 15th,45th and 120th day after pollination,which corresponded with the physiological fruit dropping and maturing period of Dangshansu pear.[Conclusion] The duration of various development periods and content of endogenous hormones of Dangshansu pear were different,and fruit growth and development were closely related to the content of endogenous hormones.
