(1) HIT may be used to restrict terms extracted to terms that match the search expression used to create the answers set, e.g., SEL HITCT.
(2) Appends /BI to the terms created by SELECT.
(3) Selects or analyzes Chemical Name (CN) and appends /BI to the terms created by SELECT.
(4) Selects or analyzes Chemical Name (CN) and CAS Registry Number and appends /BI to the terms created by SELECT.
(5) SELECT HIT or ANALYZE HIT are not valid with this field.
(6) SELECT or ANALYZE CIT allows you to extract the reference from the source documents in this file and have them automaticallyconverted to a citation format for searching in the SCISEARCH file. SEL or ANALYZE CIT extracts first author, publication year,
volume, first page, with a truncation symbol and with /RE appended to the terms created by SELECT.
(7) Selects or analyzes CODEN, ISSN or ISBN with /ISN appended to the terms created by SELECT.
(8) Selects or analyzes CODEN, ISSN or ISBN with /SO appended to the terms created by SELECT.

EnglishAbcission, the natural shedding of leaves, flowers and fruits, is afundamental component of plant development. Abscission is a highly
regulated process that occurs at distinct zones of cells that undergo
enlargement and subsequent separation. Although some components ofabscission, including accumulation of the hormone ethylene and cell walldegrading enzymes, have been described, the regulatory pathways remain
largely unknown. In this paper we described a critical component required
for floral organ abscission in Arabidopsis thaliana, the receptor-likeprotein kinase HAESA. Histochemical analysis of transgenic plants
harboring a HAESA promoter:: β-glucuronidase reporter gene and in situ RNA
hybridization experiments show HAESA expression in the abscission zones
where the sepals, petals, and stamens attach to the receptacle, at thebase of pedicels, and at the base of petioles where leaves attach to thestem Immunodetection, immunoprecipitation, and protein kinase activity
assays reveal HAESA is a plasma membrane serine/threonine protein kinase.
The reduction of function of HAESA in transgenic plants harboring anantisense construct results in delayed abscission of floral organs, andthe severity of the phenotype is directly correlated with the level of
HAESA protein. These results demonstrate that HAESA functions indevelopmentally regulated floral organ abscission.
