Elucidating the Molecular Mechanisms of Physiological Fruit Abscission in Actinidia arguta Through Comparative Transcriptomics and Transient Genetic Transformation [PDF]
PlantsActinidia arguta (A. arguta) is valued for its nutritional richness, but physiological fruit abscission severely limits production efficiency in elite cultivars. To unravel the molecular basis of this process, we compared two cultivars: abscission-prone ‘

Sugar signaling-mediated hormonal regulatory networks: molecular mechanisms underlying fruit abscission and development in seedless litchi [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Seedless litchi (Litchi chinensis ‘Wu He’) exhibits an excellent parthenocarpic trait, the physiological regulation of which during early fruit development is critical for ultimate yield.

Identifying the location of olive fruit abscission
Scientia Horticulturae, 2009 For high quality oil, table olive characteristics, and reduction of alternate bearing tendencies, it is often desirable to harvest olive fruits prior to full physiological maturity, that is, before the natural separation zone has differentiated. Olive fruit abscission can occur at different positions, mainly fruit-pedicel, pedicel rachis and peduncle ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Massive young fruit abscission usually causes low and unstable yield in litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.), an important fruit crop cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas. However, the molecular mechanism of fruit drop has not been fully characterized.

Genome-wide analysis of AGO, DCL and RDR gene families reveals RNA-directed DNA methylation is involved in fruit abscission in Citrus sinensis [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2019 Background Small RNAs regulate a wide variety of processes in plants, from organ development to both biotic and abiotic stress response. Being master regulators in genetic networks, their biogenesis and action is a fundamental aspect to characterize in ...

Calcium Reduces Fruit Abscission in Persimmon by Targeting Cell Wall Integrity [PDF]
PlantsIn the Mediterranean region, the persimmon cultivar ‘Rojo Brillante’ may experience up to four waves of fruit drop. The first is a physiological event during fruit set that is common in woody species, while the subsequent waves are induced by rising ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 After fruit development is triggered by pollination, the abscission zone (AZ) in the fruit pedicel strengthens its adhesion to keep the fruit attached. We previously reported that xyloglucan and arabinan accumulation in the AZ accompanies the shedding of

Morphological and genetic characterization of the muscadine fruit abscission zone. [PDF]
Hortic ResAbstract Muscadines face limitations to fresh market production due to high manual labor costs. Mechanical harvesting holds promise for reducing the costs associated with muscadine production but requires cultivars with easily detached fruit at maturity.

Transcriptomic analysis reveals key genes and pathways involved in fruit abscission of Epimedium pubescens [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Fruit abscission in Epimedium pubescens is a critical yet underexplored process affecting seed yield and agricultural efficiency. Here, we integrated transcriptomic analyses across three developmental stages (pre-abscission, abscission zone ...

Comparative analysis of the transcriptomes of the calyx abscission zone of sweet orange insights into the huanglongbing-associated fruit abscission [PDF]
Horticulture Research, 2019 Citrus greening disease or huanglongbing (HLB) is associated with excessive pre-harvest fruit drop. To understand the mechanisms of the HLB-associated fruit abscission, transcriptomes were analyzed by RNA sequencing of calyx abscission zones (AZ-C) of ...
