ETHYLENE EVOLUTION AND ABSCISSION,

Abstract

Ethylene was shown to stimulate abscission in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. var. Acala 4-42) and Cassia fistula L. explants. Compounds that stimulated abscission of explants also stimulated ethylene production. The stimulating effect of these compounds could be reduced by lowering ethylene levels by aeration. It is postulated that the stimulation of abscission by these compounds is due to their effect on ethylene production. (Author)
