Studies on flower longevity in Digitalis : The role of ethylene in corolla abscission.

Abstract:

:The flowers of Digitalis purpurea respond to pollination by rapid corolla abscission without any loss of corolla turgor, nor any significant loss of corolla constituents, relative to the corollas of unpollinated flowers of a similar age. The corollas of unpollinated flowers too eventually abscise, 6 d after the stigma opens, however, they do so with only a minimal loss of fresh weight or corolla constituents. Pollination causes an increase in ethylene production detectable within 1 h. Increased ethylene production occurs initially only from the upper portion of the style, later from the lower portion, and lastly, between 23 and 48 h after pollination, from the ovary plus calyx. The pollination response can be induced by exogenous ethylene, the degree of weakening of the corolla abscission zone being dependent upon the concentration and duration of the exposure period and on the stage of flower development. The regulation of ethylene biosynthesis and its involvement in the control of pollination-induced corolla abscission are discussed.
