Transcriptional profiling of calyx abscission zone cells of citrus fruits and adjacent fruit rind cells during ethylene-promoted fruit abscission
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Abscission is a cell separation process that takes place in particular positions of the plant body named abscission zones. In citrus, maturing fruits are shed through the calix abscission zone, which is composed by 10-15 cell layers located at the boundary between the calyx button and the fruit rind. In order to gain further insight into the molecular mechanisms involved in citrus fruit abscission, we used laser microdissection combined with microarray analysis to compare the global expression profiles of calyx abscission zone cells and adjacent fruit rind cells (control cells) at 0, 12 and 24 hours after the activation of the process with ethylene. Thus, this study allowed identifying a set of abscission zone-specifically expressed genes potentially involved in citrus fruit abscission.
