Summary It is shown that ethylene production can be stimulated in peeled oat leaf segments in the dark by cadmiun at concentrations below 0.01 mM, and that cadmium-stimulated stress ethylene accelerates senescence processes. Higher cadmium concentrations cause membrane deterioration and inhibit ethylene production and senescence. These effects of cadmium are antagonized by calcium. This indicates a possible protection of plant cell against cadmium toxicity by calcium.
