Abscission is the term used to describe the process of natural separation of organs from the
parent plant. This may be part of the highly programmed development of a plant, or in …

Abscission and dehiscence are developmental processes that involve the co-ordinated
breakdown of the cell wall matrix at discrete sites and at specific stages during the life cycle …

A substantial body of literature supports the involvement of ethylene in abscission of leaves,
flowers and flower parts, and fruit. Exogenous ethylene accelerates abscission in many, but …

Differential screening of a cDNA library generated from RNA extracted from ethylene‐treated
leaflet abscission zones of Sambucus nigra resulted in the isolation of 20 abscission‐related …

A cDNA clone (TAB7) encoding a putative woundinduced (Win) protein has been isolated
from a tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Ailsa Craig) leaf abscission zone cDNA …

The ancient Greek word apoptosis literally means 'falling away from'and was originally
applied to the shedding of petals or leaves. In modern usage the term has become more …

Cellulase expressions in a normal shedding wild-type and a non-abscinding single gene
mutant of Lupinus angustifolius have been studied during ethylene treatments of leaf …

A screening via mRNA differential display resulted in the identification and cloning of nine
partial cDNAs corresponding to putative peach fruitlet abscission-related genes. Five of the …

Stress C 2 H 4 represents collectively the accelerated C 2 H 4 production in plants induced
by various abiotic (wounding, physical load, chilling temperatures, waterlogging, and …

Shipping potted flowering Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is a commercial problem due to abscission
