Abstract
The retardation of abscission in atmospheres low in oxygen content has been demonstrated. The results of Carns and other workers have been confirmed. The results provide evidence that oxygen is a limiting factor in ethylene and gibberellic acid-induced abscission. The results are discussed in relation to the antioxidant-oxidant balance hypothesis for the control of developmental processes.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
