TLDR
When abscission in leaf explants from Phaseolus vulgaris, cultivar Red Kidney, was allowed to proceed while the explants were in (2)H(2)O, a 1.25% increase in the buoyant density of cellulase in a cesium chloride gradient was observed, indicating that the increase in cellulase activity during abscissions is a result of the synthesis of new protein.Abstract:
When abscission in leaf explants from Phaseolus vulgaris, cultivar Red Kidney, was allowed to proceed while the explants were in (2)H(2)O, a 1.25% increase in the buoyant density of cellulase in a cesium chloride gradient was observed. These data indicate that the increase in cellulase activity during abscission is a result of the synthesis of new protein. Two differentially soluble forms of cellulase are present in the abscission zone. The form which is soluble only in a high salt buffer seems more closely related to the abscission process than the form which is soluble in dilute buffer. The correlation between changes in pull force and increase in cellulase activity and the effects of several hormones on cellulase activity are discussed.read more

TL;DR: It was observed that the loss of pectic and cellulosic substances preceded the separation phase of abscission from middle lamella and cell walls of the cells of separation layer of ab scission zone.
Light and hormonal control of leaf abscission.
TL;DR: The mechanism of light control of leaf abscissions was studied in coleus and mung bean cuttings by evaluating the roles of lAA, carbohydrate, and cellulase in the process of abscission.

TL;DR: The intent of this article is to review progress in the laboratory towards an understanding of the hormonal and cell-specific regulation of abscission.
Abscising and Nonabscising Tissues
TL;DR: The determinant characteristic of the abscission process is the induction of 9.5 cellulase by cortical cells in the separation layer, and this implies that these cells have a unique mechanism for initiating 9.

A photometric adaptation of the somogyi method for the determination of glucose
TL;DR: In this paper, the reliability of the various Somogyi-Shaffer-Hartmann (SHH) copper reagents for glucose determination in biological material has been established, which can be accomplished by omission of the iodide and iodate in their preparation, since these interfere with the molybdate color reagents.

Senescence, Abscission and Cellulase Activity in Phaseolus vulgaris
TL;DR: Before abscissions, high cellulase activity develops in cells of the abscission zone, suggesting that this enzyme plays an important part in cell separation.
