| Abstract: | The influence of Grand sucrose, alone and in combination, on the abscissionarate of petioles of the common be n plant was investigated. application of either Gaorasucrose to the distalatip of one of apair of opposite petiolesa celebrated the abscission of the treated petiole. When the two compounds were applied simult neously less than additive effect was observed. The abscission rate of untreated petioles remain ed practically unchanged by treatment of their opposite partners with G a or sucrose or combinations of these two compounds. |
