De novo transcriptome sequencing and development of abscission zone-specific microarray as a new molecular tool for analysis of tomato organ abscission

Abscission of flower pedicels and leaf petioles of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) can be induced by flower removal or leaf deblading, respectively, leading to auxin depletion, which results in increased sensitivity of the abscission zone (AZ) to ethylene. However, the molecular mechanisms that drive...
