Abscission: quantification of light control.
Low level red light treatments prevented dark-induced leaf abscission in mung bean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek cv Jumbo) cuttings. The amount of inhibition depended upon the level and length of the light treatment. The red light inhibition could be reversed by a brief exposure of tissue to far-red light.
