| Abstract | Ethylene production or content was compared to leaflet abscission in detached, compound leaves of Mèlia azédarach L. In late autumn, when abscission was progressing from basal leaves upward, the oldest leaves both produced ethylene at the highest rates and abscised their leaflets first. When C2H4 levels were measured in intercellular air removed immediately after leaves were harvested, C2H4 levels were also highest in basal leaves and declined progressively in more apical leaves. Levels as high as 1.8 microliters C2H4 liter−1 air were observed. Earlier in the season groups of leaves demonstrated a pattern of sequential initiation of abscission from base to apex, but the peak rates of C2H4 production followed an opposite trend, being highest in the youngest leaves. Peak rates of C2H4 production occurred after the initiation of leaflet abscission and presumably are related to either the auxin content or a climacteric-like, autocatalytic phase of C2H4 production not directly involved in the initiation of abscission. In these experiments, the early abscission of the older leaflets reflects their greater sensitivity to C2H4, presumably due to lower auxin content. C2H4 production rates in all experiments, with rare exceptions, exceeded 3 microliters per kilogram fresh weight per hour at least 24 hours before leaflet abscission reached 10%. This achieving of a threshold internal C2H4 level is viewed as an initiating event in leaflet abscission. Hypobaric conditions, to facilitate the escape of endogenous C2H4, delayed abscission compared to controls, and termination of hypobaric exposure allowed a normal progression of abscission as well as normal C2H4 synthesis rates. All of the data indicate that C2H4 initiates leaflet abscission in intact but detached leaves of Mèlia azédarach L. The seasonal patterns observed suggest that C2H4, in concert with those hormones which govern sensitivity to C2H4, regulate autumn leaf fall in this species. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
