Abscission is a widespread physiological process that allows the natural separation of organs from the parent plant. Abscission of plant organs takes place through a highly coordinated sequence of biochemical events that leads to wall breakdown in a discrete group of cells located in predictable positions in the plant known as abscission zones (AZs).
