Advancing fruit crop resilience: Unveiling the molecular dynamics of abscission in woody fruit crops

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 highlights key findings, such as the role of the IDA-HAE/HSL2 signaling pathway in reacting to abscission cues and the influence of reactive oxygen species in controlling abscission dynamics.

Now, THIS is a breakthrough–quite literally!
In a new #OpenAccess paper for #JIPB, Ma et al. elucidate the mechanism connecting the interplay between #auxin and #ethylene and the molecular events that initiate #abscission in litchi.

I've been taking weekly pictures of the #appleTree and wondering how long the remaining apples are going to be hanging on for. I think there were still about 12 when this picture was taken two days ago. Are these #apples ever going to fall off?
