Cell Wall Remodeling in Abscission Zone Cells during Ethylene-Promoted Fruit Abscission in Citrus

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 of annual yield losses. Thus, understanding the molecular regulation of abscission is of capital relevance to control production. To identify ge...

Factors Affecting Fruit Set/Early Fruit Drop in Avocado

A b-galactosidase gene is expressed during mature fruit abscission of ‘Valencia’ orange (Citrus sinensis)

b-galactosidases have been detected in a wide range of plants and are characterized by their ability to hydrolyse terminal non-reducing b-D-galactosyl residues from b-D-galactosides. These enzymes have been detected in a wide range of plant organs and tissues. In a search for differentially expressed genes during the abscission process in citrus, sequences encoding b-galactosidase were identifi...
