In this article, we will discuss about the abscission of leaves in plants. Introduction to Abscission of Leaves: Detachment of the older (rather senescent) leaves or leaf fall is a common phenomenon in plants and is called as abscission of leaves. Abscission is quite distinctive in deciduous trees and shrubs of temperate regions in autumn when all the leaves of [...]
