Fig. 1. Leaf abscission in response to ethylene. The percentage of petioles that had abscised in response to a gentle touch was recorded at several intervals of time for Hobbit 87 and Hobbit 87 etr11 explants exposed to 25 µL L1 ethylene in air at 25°C. The petioles were debladed before ethylene treatment. The abscission of petioles for the primary (unifoliate) leaves and true (trifoliate) leaves were recorded separately.

Fig. 2. Relative leaf chlorophyll content estimated with a SPAD meter. The youngest fully expanded trifoliate leaf on each of 15 plants (1997) or 20 plants (1999) per plot was sampled on each date except the last date. Data are for one experimental site in each year (three blocks per experiment), and are graphed as mean and 95% confidence interval.
