Abstract Thidiazuron (TDZ) has been extensively applied as chemical defoliant in cotton production, but the physiological mechanisms for its defoliating activity are poorly understood. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is regarded as an endogenous regulator of abscission. In the current study, we found that H2O2 was involved in cotton leaf abscission induced by TDZ. TDZ induced water loss, cell death, and oxidative injury in cotton leaf, leading to significant leaf abscission. TDZ treatment induced a significant increase in H 2O2 production in the leaf, petiole and abscission zone. Treatment with DPI, a respiratory burst oxidase homologue inhibitor, significantly inhibited TDZ-induced H2O2 generation, coinciding with a remarkable decrease in leaf abscission. TDZ treatment stimulated the expression of RbohA in the petiole and pulvinus. These results suggest that H2O2 might play an important role in cotton leaf abscission induced by TDZ.

Defoliants and desiccants are classified as harvest aid chemicals because they are commonly used to facilitate mechanical harvesting of crops (Pedersen et al. 2006). It is important to remove cotton foliage prior to harvest to enhance the quality of cotton fiber with less debris during for machine-picking practice (Nickell 1982). Therefore, harvest aids, such as chemical defoliants or desiccants, are currently regarded as essential components of modern cotton production (Du et al. 2013). The removal of leaves before harvesting of the cotton bolls using specific defoliants can facilitate mechanical harvesting and improve the quality of the harvested cotton lint (Suttle 1984). Abscission refers to the detachment of plant organs, such as leaves, flowers, fr
