The 14 pages that link to Abscission, each with the reason it gives.

• FruitRelated: Abscission often releases mature fruits for dispersal.

• Abscisic acidRelated: Early research linked a substance later identified as abscisic acid to fruit abscission.

• Nut (fruit)Related: Mature nuts are often shed after their fruit stalks separate.

• SepalRelated: Some sepals detach after flowering through this process.

• SpikeletRelated: Specialized separation zones let mature spikelets or their parts detach.

• Deciduous treeRelated: A layer of specialized cells forms at each leaf base before seasonal leaves detach.

• Deciduous plantRelated: An abscission zone forms at the leaf base and releases each leaf.

• LarchRelated: Larches form separation zones that release their needles before winter.

• Indole-3-acetic acidRelated: IAA levels influence the sensitivity of abscission zones to ethylene and organ shedding.

• DefoliantRelated: Defoliants induce the separation process at the base of leaves.

• TumbleweedRelated: A tumbleweed must detach from its roots or stem before wind can move it.
