Abstract
Abscission—the natural process by which cell-to-cell adhesion is lost at specific points in plants—plays an important role in the maturing and harvesting of many crops. Understanding of the biochemical mechanisms involved makes control of the abscission process possible and this has been put to practical use in agriculture: for example, in harvesting citrus fruits.
