Abscission consists in the detachment of entire vegetative and reproductive organs due to
cell separation processes occurring at the abscission zones (AZs) at specific positions of the …

In plants, flowering is a crucial process for reproductive success and continuity of the
species through time. Fruit production requires the perfect development of reproductive …

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 in plants is a crucial process used to shed organs such as leaves, flowers, and
fruits when they are senescent, damaged, or mature. Abscission occurs at predetermined …

Farmers lack effective methods to achieve and maintain stable production from year to year
in many commercial fruit crops. Annual fruit yield within a region often alternates between …

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are microorganisms that promote plant health
and play a critical role in sustainable agriculture. As a PGPR, Rhodopseudomonas palustris …

Apple (Malus X. domestica Borkh.) is one of the world's most valuable fruit crops. Its large
size and long juvenile phase make it a particularly promising candidate for marker‐assisted …

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 …

Background Auxins act as repressors of ripening inception in grape (véraison), while
ethylene and abscisic acid (ABA) play a positive role as inducers of the syndrome. Despite …

Fruit quality is a very complex trait that is affected by both genetic and non-genetic factors.
Generally, low temperature (LT) is used to delay fruit senescence and maintain fruit quality …
