THE ACCELERATOR AND THE BRAKE. “Ethylene is the primary signal that drives the abscission process, whereas auxin reduces the sensitivity of AZ cells to ethylene and thus prevents or delays abscission. Subsequent studies in a variety of species support the idea that applied ethylene can stimulate abscission and that the inhibition of ethylene synthesis or action can delay abscission in many cases.” (AZ = abscission zones).
