A, Northern blot showing expression of CAW471 in
mRNA extracted from leaf AZs that had been incubated in the presence or
absence of ethylene (10 μL L−1) for 0, 24, 48,
and 72 h. The same membrane was probed with a 25S rRNA to show
equal loading of the RNA. B, Time course of abscission in leaf explants
exposed to ethylene (10 μL L−1) for 0, 24, 42,
48, 54, and 60 h.
