Abstract

- Abscission of plant organs requires cell wall loosening.
- Rapid cell wall loosening occurs via free radical attack of structural polymers.
- Free radicals are formed in the apoplast by a variety of potential mechanisms.
- Thiol modifications and Ca2+ influence in rapid abscission of Azolla water ferns.
- O, N and S molecular species potentially function in regulating rapid abscission.
