Drought Risk in Mango and Avocado Orchards: Insights Into Plant Water Relations and Irrigation‐Related Agronomic Solutions

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is making water availability more uncertain, with growing consequences for the productivity and long‐term sustainability of tropical and subtropical fruit orchards. Mangifera indica L. and Persea americana Mill. both require large amounts of water to sustain growth and productivity.

Proposed Model of Regulation of Floral Organ Abscission, Inflorescence Meristem Maintenance, and Senescence by COI1.

open access: yes, 2013
Working model of floral organ abscission. Based on the progression, in one model, floral organ abscission can be divided into 4 phases. Phase 1, pre-abscission phase where abscission zones (organ boundaries) are established in the early development ...

Abscission of Control Pollinated Coconut Fruits: Preliminary Investigations into the Possible Role of Ethylene

open access: yesCORD, 2010
Recent advances in the spread of the Cape St Paul Wilt disease (CSPWD) necessitate a more rapid development of tolerant coconut types. Control pollination is the main method for producing legitimate coconut seeds for such breeding purposes.

Animating blossom: Time‐lapse to encourage plant awareness in the YouTube era

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Time‐lapse videos can effectively capture key traits of flower blossoms, such as color, 3D structure, and temporal changes, making them valuable complements to herbarium specimens and other botanical collections. Despite the abundance of such videos on YouTube, most provide no ecological and botanical insights.

Advances in abscission signaling

open access: yes, 2017
Abscission is a process in plants for shedding unwanted organs such as leaves, flowers, fruits, or floral organs. Shedding of leaves in the fall is the most visually obvious display of abscission in nature.

Ultrastructural Localization of Polygalacturonase in Ethylene-Stimulated Abscission of Tomato Pedicel Explants

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2014
Polygalacturonase (PG) is crucial in plant organ abscission process. This paper investigated the cellular and subcellular localization of PG in ethylene-stimulated abscission of tomato pedicel explants.

Expression Kinetics of Regulatory Genes Involved in the Vesicle Trafficking Processes Operating in Tomato Flower Abscission Zone Cells during Pedicel Abscission

open access: yesLife, 2020
The abscission process occurs in a specific abscission zone (AZ) as a consequence of the middle lamella dissolution, cell wall degradation, and formation of a defense layer.

Calcium Reduces Fruit Abscission in <i>Persimmon</i> by Targeting Cell Wall Integrity. [PDF]

open access: yesPlants (Basel)
In 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 ...

The shared benefits of fallen fruits: A novel mechanism stabilizing a nursery pollination mutualism between Sambucus and kateretid beetles

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how cooperative interactions remain stable matters for biodiversity because many plants rely on specialist insects that can also impose reproductive costs. We studied the interaction between Sambucus sieboldiana and seed‐consuming Heterhelus beetles through detailed field observations and pollination experiments.

Molecular regulatory events of flower and fruit abscission in horticultural plants

open access: yesHorticultural Plant Journal, 2023
Flower and fruit abscission is a highly programmed physiological process, which is closely related to the yield of horticultural plants. The coordination of many regulatory factors associated with metabolic and signaling pathways plays a key role in the ...
