Genome-wide characterization of the auxin response factor (ARF) gene family of litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.): phylogenetic analysis, miRNA regulation and expression changes during fruit abscission [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Auxin response factors (ARFs) play fundamental roles in modulating various biological processes including fruit development and abscission via regulating the expression of auxin response genes.

Inheritance of Calyx Abscission in Apple: A Trait with Potential Impact on Fruit Rot Susceptibility [PDF]
PlantsFruit rots, both pre- and postharvest, represent a major problem in apple production, leading to significant yield losses each year. In this study, the inheritance of calyx abscission, a trait that could potentially reduce susceptibility to various fruit

Diversity and Functional Dynamics of Fleshy Fruit Abscission Zones
, 2020 We examine the current knowledge about the abscission of fleshy fruit, in particular with regards to the development and function of the abscission zone (AZ). While tomato is currently the main model species to elucidate the mechanisms of fleshy fruit abscission, most studies on tomato focus on the development and function of the pedicel AZ, which is ...

Abscission zone metabolism impacts pre- and post-harvest fruit quality: a very attaching story [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceThe function of abscission zones (AZs) determines the timing of fleshy fruit abscission, with important consequences not only for the optimal fruit harvest, but also on the overall final fruit quality.

Effects of Girdling and Chemical Treatments on the Response of Longan Fruit and Layer
Guangdong nongye kexue, 2023 【Objective】The production mode of Hainan longan can be divided into natural flowering on-season longan and off-season longan induced by potassium chlorate. Reasonable fruit loading is extremely important to maintain tree vigor and avoid alternate bearing

Ethylene, a Regulator of Young Fruit Abscission [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1973 In an earlier study we reported that detached cotton flowers produced sufficient ethylene before the period of natural abscission to suggest that ethylene might be a natural regulator of young fruit abscission. The present report explores this probability further. Intact cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) fruits produced ethylene at rates as high as 36 mul

Corrigendum: Cell Wall Remodeling in Abscission Zone Cells during Ethylene-Promoted Fruit Abscission in Citrus. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2017 Abscission is a cell separation process by which plants can shed organs such as fruits, leaves, or flowers. The process takes place in specific locations termed abscission zones. In fruit crops like citrus, fruit abscission represents a high percentage

Monopotassium Phosphate for Olive Fruit Abscission [PDF]
HortScience, 2004 World olive production covers 9.5 × 106 ha and yields 2.5 × 106 t of olive oil and 1.25 × 106 t of table olives annually (IOOC, 2002). For both oil and table production, harvest represents a critical expense to the farmer, costing as much as 50% of total crop value.

Plant Physiology, 1974 Initiation of abscission at the pedicel-fruit zone in the sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L. cv. Montmorency) occurs near the transition of Stage II to Stage III of fruit growth. The preinitiation phase is characterized by a high fruit removal force (FRF) and explants prepared from fruits during this period do not undergo abscission as indexed by a ...

BLADE-ON-PETIOLE Genes Enable Genetic Bottleneck Mitigation Through Cross-Species Repurposing of Floral Persistence Traits. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)This study shows that BLADE‐ON‐PETIOLE (BOP) proteins regulate floral abscission and senescence in tomato by interacting with TFAM1 to form transcriptional condensates controlling the ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA HOMEOBOX GENE 1 (ATH1)‐mediated abscission pathway.
