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...

lose all of their leaves for part of the year. This process is called abscission. In some cases leaf loss coincides with winter—namely in temperate or...

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

cellular processes including multivesicular body (MVB) biogenesis, cellular abscission, and viral budding. Multivesicular body (MVB) biogenesis is a process...

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

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...

closure. It was so named because it was originally thought to control abscission. Ethylene is a gaseous hormone that is produced in all higher plant tissues...

produce tumbleweeds. In Psoralea the tumbleweed detaches from the plant by abscission of the stem. In the Plantaginaceae, Plantago cretica forms tumbleweeds...

wilt due to water evaporation still exceeding water supply. Leaf loss (abscission) will be activated in more severe stress conditions. Drought deciduous...

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...

do not need added energy, they act passively. However, during the pre-abscission phase, the metabolic levels of a leaf are high. Plants also excrete some...

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

may or may not involve the loss of a structure through the process of abscission. The lost structures are said to be caducous. Manipulation of dehiscence...

stimulating or regulating the ripening of fruit, the opening of flowers, the abscission (or shedding) of leaves and, in aquatic and semi-aquatic species, promoting...

completing the final stages of cytokinesis, a process called abscission. During symmetric abscission, the midbody is severed at each end and released into the...

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...

in some species. [citation needed] Auxin inhibits abscission prior to the formation of the abscission layer, and thus inhibits senescence of leaves. Synthetic...

approximately three weeks before the album's release.[citation needed] Abscission Apocatastasis Epiclesis Paraclete Phosphene Freeman, Phil. "Paracletus...

Acer palmatum var. 'Kiyohime' as bonsai during fall abscission. This dwarf hybrid cultivar is prized for its small leaves and bright red fall colors....

mature trees may exhibit marcescence—where leaves wither with autumn but abscission (leafdrop) is delayed until spring. The smooth, gray trunk and larger...
