Malformin negates the Inhibition of Ethrel-induced Leaf Abscission by AgNO3

Roy W. Curtis

Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Purdue University West Lafayette, Indiana 47907, U.S.A.

In light, malformin completely abolished the ability of Ag+ to inhibit Ethrel-induced leaf abscission from cuttings of Vigna radiata, even though Ag+ was applied 24 hr before malformin. Malformin itself did not induce abscission in the light. However, Ag+ was active on cuttings which had been pre-treated with malformin for 2 days in the light. No evidence was obtained to suggest reaction between malformin and Ag+. In the dark, Ag+ had no effect on stimulation of leaf abscission by malformin.
