A research team has made significant strides in understanding the mechanisms of fruit abscission in woody fruit crops, an essential process affecting fruit yield and economic value. This review ...

Organogenesis, an important aspect of flowering, helps reveal key processes of plant development such as the formation of floral organs, attainment of reproductive capability, and abscission leading ...

(Medical Xpress)—A pair of researchers working at the University of Dundee in the U.K. has discovered a new step during vertebrate neurogenesis—the process by which progenitor cells develop into ...

Researchers have uncovered the genetic pathway that controls abscission in the plant species Arabidopsis thaliana. The ability to control abscission in plants is of special interest to those in the ...

Whether it's beautiful red and yellow leaves falling during the autumn months, or a ripened fruit dropping from a tree, this natural process is called abscission. In the fall, as days shorten and ...
