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 …

Abscission is a developmental process with important implications for agricultural practices.
Ethylene has long been considered as a key regulator of the abscission process. The …

The transcriptomes of endodormant and ecodormant Japanese pear (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai
'Kosui') flower buds were analyzed using RNA-seq technology and compared. Among de …

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 …

Plant organ abscission, a process that is important for development and reproductive
success, is inhibited by the phytohormone auxin and promoted by another phytohormone …

Abstract Background Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is one of the most important fruit trees
cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas. However, a lack of transcriptomic and genomic …

Preharvest fruit drop is a challenge to apple production, in which fruit abscise from the tree
prior to horticultural maturity. Depending on the growing season and the cultivar, yield …

Background The fruit population of most plants is under the control of a process named
“physiological drop” to selectively abort some developing fruitlets. However, frequent fruitlet …

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 …

Plant reproductive transcriptomes have been analyzed in different species due to the
agronomical and biotechnological importance of plant reproduction. Here we presented an …
