Abscission: Ethylene and Light Control 1
AUTOR(ES)
Decoteau, Dennis R.
RESUMO
The role of ethylene in light control of leaf abscission im mung bean, Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek cv Jumbo, cuttings was examined. While red light inhibits and far-red light promotes loss of break strength in abscission zones as compared with dark controls, changes in the rate of abscission could not be associated with changes in the rate of ethylene production. Reducing ethylene synthesis in tissue with aminoethoxyvinylglycine did not alter the effects of red or far-red light on abscission. Far-red light appeared to increase and red light appeared to decrease tissue sensitivity to ethylene.
