Abstract
This method involves the excision of tissues containing an abscission zone. The tissues are mounted on agar or on glass holders. They may then be treated with chemical and physical agents during an exptl. period. An instrument was developed, named an abscissor, which employs the principle of the spring balance and by means of which a known force can be applied to the tissues expediting abscission in a reproducible manner.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
