Abscission (from Latin ab- 'away' and scindere 'to cut') is the shedding of various parts of an organism, such as a plant dropping a leaf, fruit, flower...

process termed abscission, the last step of cytokinesis. The process of abscission physically cleaves the midbody into two. Abscission proceeds by removal...

veins carrying the sap slowly close until a layer of cells called the abscission layer completely closes off the vein allowing the tree to rid itself of...

progress into abscission. The formation of abscission layer between the stem and the leaf petiole signifies the initiation of abscission. Abscission layer is...

of regular leaf shedding by deciduous trees. As in leaf shedding, an abscission layer forms, and the branch is shed cleanly. Cladoptosis is thought to...

buds on the twig are an important diagnostic characteristic, as are the abscission scars where the leaves have fallen away. The color, texture, and patterning...

growth stage, foliar abscission (active shedding) of the appendages occurs from the stigmarian axis. Nonetheless, root abscission is relatively absent...

middle of leaf-cushions were smooth, where leaf scars were created when an abscission layer cut a leaf from its base. Each leaf scar was composed of a central...

the fruit matures, the hull splits and separates from the shell, and an abscission layer forms between the stem and the fruit so that the fruit can fall...

ways that aid germination. The change of shape can adjust the rate of abscission, allowing increased or decreased germination depending on the favorability...
