Abstract

Mechanical perturbation (MP, gentle tubbing) promoted the senescence of detached oat ( Avena sativa L. cv. Victory) leaf segments in the dark. The promotion of senescence increased with increase in the number of rubbings and could be seen after 24 h of dark incubation; the maximum effect was reached on day 3. The effect (% of control) of MP on the loss of protein was greater than the effect on chlorophyll (Chl) loss on day 1. However, on day 3 the effect of MP on the loss of Chl became greater than the effect on the loss of protein. Ethephon and 1‐aminocyclopropane‐1‐carboxylic acid (ACC) marginally promoted the loss of Chl by both control and rubbed oat leaf segments, and the effect was additive with MP. Chloramphenicol (CAP), spermine, aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) and Ca 2+ marginally delayed the loss of Chl and protein in both control and rubbed segments. Kinetin greatly retarded the senescence of all segments. Even in the presence of these substances, the amounts of Chl and protein in the rubbed segments were always less than in their respective controls, thus retaining the effect of the MP. However, abscisic acid (ABA) and cycloheximide (CHI) caused the rubbed oat leaf segments to retain more Chl and protein than their respective control segments. The effect of CHI was actually enhanced by MP. Rubbing promoted the senescence of attached leaves of oats ( Avena sativa L. cv. Victory), maize ( Zea mays L. cv. Early Belle) and pumpkin ( Cucurbita pepo L. cv. Jack‐o‐lantern) cotyledons in the dark. Rubbing promoted the senescence of oat leaf segments even in light, although to a lesser extent compared to the effect in the dark. The senescence of leaves of pumpkin and cocklebur ( Xanthium strumarium Wallr. var. Pennsylvanicum ) in situ was also enhanced by MP.
