Article Abstract
Petal abscission involves cell death and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in the cells at the base of petals. Visualizing changes in the properties of these cells is crucial for analyzing and understanding petal abscission, a trait with important implications, especially for ornamental flower crops. This protocol describes the guidelines, experimental setups, and conditions for visualizing cell death by trypan blue staining and ROS accumulation by 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) staining in petals. Additionally, it provides instructions for staining and sectioning the entire Arabidopsis thaliana flower to give an improved view of the cells crucial for abscission. This protocol can be used to study the mechanism of petal abscission, including temporal changes at the base of petals during abscission and comparisons with mutants. Although Arabidopsis thaliana and cherry (Prunus sp.) blossoms are used as examples here, this protocol can easily be adapted for other plant species.

Gaseous phytohormone ethylene regulates various aspects of plant development. Ethylene is perceived by ER membrane-localized receptors, which are inactivated upon binding with ethylene molecules, thereby initiating ethylene signal transduction. Here, we report that a novel E3 ligase RING finger for Ethylene receptor Degradation (RED) and its E2 partner UBC32 ubiquitinate ethylene-bound receptors for degradation through an ER associated degradation (ERAD) pathway in both Rosa hybrida and Solanum lycopersicum.

The sweet cherry genome contains 25 AUX/IAA members, of which PavAUX/IAA9 and PavAUX/IAA11 negatively and positively regulate fruitlet abscission, respectively. The auxin/indole-3-acetic acid (AUX/IAA) gene family is plant-specific and plays various roles in growth and development. However, its function in sweet cherry fruitlet abscission remains unclear.

Severe physiological fruit abscission significantly limits yield potential in macadamia. Polygalacturonase (PG), a key hydrolytic enzyme in pectin degradation, plays a critical role in fruit abscission. However, in the macadamia genome, the gene family and the members involved in fruit abscission remain poorly understood.

APETALA2/ethylene response factor (AP2/ERF) transcription factors constitute a significant family of transcription factors that play crucial roles in plant growth and development. Meanwhile, organ abscission is common in the growth and development of fruit trees. In particular, the economically important sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.
