Etymology:
Meaning:
Abscission refers to the natural separation of a plant organ from its parent plant. It is a process by which plants shed leaves, flowers, fruits, and other organs.
Origin:
The term "abscission" has its origins in ancient Roman horticulture. Roman gardeners used the term "abscindere" to describe the process of pruning trees and removing unwanted branches. Over time, the term evolved to refer to the natural process of plant organ separation.
In the early 20th century, plant scientists adopted the term "abscission" to describe the physiological processes involved in organ shedding. Research on abscission has since revealed that it is a complex process regulated by environmental cues and plant hormones.
