Shedding of Plants Parts

About this book

Shedding of Plant Parts focuses on the anatomical, physiological, and ecological features of shedding of vegetative and reproductive parts of plants. This book encompasses both natural and induced shedding. Organized into 12 chapters, this book first outlines the extent of shedding of plant cells, tissues, and organs and summarizes the biological and economic implications of such shedding. Separate chapters follow that discuss anatomical and histochemical changes in leaf abscission; the physiological ecology and internal regulation of abscission; and the shedding of shoots, branches, bark, roots, pollen, seeds, and reproductive structures of forest trees. This book also explains the anatomical changes in abscission of reproductive structures, chemical thinning of flowers and fruits, and chemical control of fruit abscission. This book will be valuable to plant anatomists, pathologists, and physiologists, and to agronomists, arborists, biochemists, ecologists, entomologists, foresters, horticulturists, landscape architects, meteorologists, and soil scientists.

Deblossomed 
apple 
trees 
have 
been 
shown 
to 
produce 
more 
and 
larger 
leaves
than
are 
produced 
by 
fmiting 
trees 
(Maggs,
1963).
Avery
(1969)
found 
that 
decrease 
in
leaf
size 
was 
an 
early
effect
of 
fruiting 
in 
apple 
trees. 
Similar 
relations 
have 
been 
shown 
for
forest 
trees. 
Morris
(1951)
reported 
a 
reduction 
in
leaf
production 
of
Abies
balsamea
trees
during
years 
of 
large 
seed 
crops. 
Furthermore, 
leaf
production 
in 
individual 
trees 
was 
reduced 
in 
the 
portions 
of 
the 
crown 
that 
had
abundant
conelets. 
Tappeiner
(1969)
found 
that 
needle

shoot

of
Pseudotsuga 
menziesii
were 
greatly 
re-
duced 
in 
good

Apparently 
reproductive 
structures, 
especially 
fruits,
at 
certain
