Cherry Fruit Abscission: A Role for Ethylene in Mechanically Induced Abscission of Immature Fruits1
Abstract Mechanical injury to the seed of immature sour cherry ( Prunus cerasus L., cv. Montmorency) fruit caused an immediate and marked increase in ethylene evolution followed by abscission of the fruit at the peduncle: pedicel zone. Ethylene evolution was induced when the

The Relationship Between Flower and Fruit Abscission and Alternate Bearing of ‘Hass’ Avocado
Despite profuse flowering, ‘Hass’ avocado (Persea americana Mill.) yields are low because of excessive flower and fruit abscission. Whether the dynamics of flower and fruit abscission are influenced by or contribute to alternate bearing, the production ...

Summary Table grapes are mostly marketed as whole clusters, but there is increasing interest in destemmed berries, which are “ready-to-eat” as-is, and which can be incorporated into minimally processed products, such as salads.

Chemical induction of fruit abscission in olives
To facilitate mechanical harvesting of olives by trunk or limb shakers, and increase fruit removal, research has continued toward reducing the fruit-stem attachment force. Previous studies in California have shown that ascorbic or iodoacetic acid are effective in reducing the attachment force of olive fruit, but only when applied under conditions of ...

Signaling pathways mediating the induction of preharvest fruit drop in litchi
Certain litchi varieties, such as “Nuomici”, are highly susceptible to preharvest fruit drop, which leads to significant losses in fruit yield and economic value.

Leaf abscission in peach (Prunus persica L Batsch): ultrastructural and biochemical aspects
It is generally postulated that abscission is regulated similarly in leaf and fruit. In fact, hormones are produced in the fruit as well as in the leaf blade, and a reduction in fruit integrity may result in rapid abscission, analogous to that observed ...

Peroxidase and IAA-oxidase activity in peach fruit and leaf abscission
Activation of abscission zone located between pedicel and fruit (AZ3) is preceded by a reduction of the tissue transport capacity, a block of IAA conjugation and an increase of IAA decarboxylation (Ramina et al., 1984). Since peroxidases and IAA oxidases

Relationships between kernel oil content, fruit removal force, and abscission in Macadamia
Delayed or extended fruit abscission in many cultivars of macadamia, Macadamia integrifolia (Proteaceae), necessitates multiple harvests from the orchard floor.

Conserved and novel mechanisms underlie oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) fruit abscission: A model for studying fruit abscission in the palm family (Arecaceae). [W733] [PDF]
Recent research on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of fruit abscission of the tropical palm species Elaeis guineensis (African oil palm) and the function and original features of the fruit primary abscission zone (AZ1) will be presented.
