Abstract
The anatomy of abscission has been attracting the attention of researchers in plant science for many years (2), and Hodgon’s pioneer work on the anatomy of leaf abscission (10) in citrus was published as early as 1918. In citrus we can define five abscission zones (AZs): the basal and laminar AZs of leaves, the shoot/peduncle (AZ-A) and calyx (AZ-C) AZs of fruit, and the AZ between style and ovary.
