Abstract
Deblading of bean leaves promoted the formation of callose and lignin in the abscission zone. The abscission layer became evident three days after deblading. The greatest increase in callose occurred in about two layers of cells during the development of the abscission layer. Four days after deblading, only a few layers of cells on the distal side of the abscission layer showed an increase in lignin. Lignification continued to expand to 8–10 layers of cells at the time of separation. After separation, the lignified cells remained with the petiole. Sieve elements in the abscission zone were covered with callose plugs and the vessels were occluded with tyloses.
