Abstract

6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) delays leaf abscission of soybean Glycine max (L.) Merr. Abscission of the distal pulvinus of primary leaves was induced in 12-d-old seedlings or explants by removal of the leaf blade. BAP applied to the cut end of the pulvinus following leaf blade removal delayed abscission. Discoloration of the pulvinus occurred before abscission commenced and the number of grana in chloroplasts within cortical parenchyma cells of the pulvinus decreased over time following leaf blade removal
