Dominance induction of fruitlet shedding in <it>Malus × domestica </it>(L. Borkh): molecular changes associated with polar auxin transport

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Apple fruitlet abscission is induced by dominance, a process in which hormones such as auxin, cytokinins and strigolactone play a pivotal role. The response to these hormones is controlled by transcription regulators such as Aux/IAA...
