Abstract excerpt
Pedicel abscission occurs widely in fruit-bearing plants to detach ripe, senescent or diseased organs, and regulation of abscission plays a substantial role in regulating yield and quality in fruit crops. In tomato, development of pedicel abscission zones (AZs) requires the MADS-box genes JOINTLESS (J), MACROCALYX (MC) and SlMBP21. In other plants, however, the involvement of MADS-box genes in pedicel abscission...
