Abscission: Quantitative Measurement with a Recording Abscissor

The construction, operation, and effectiveness of an abscission- measuring instrument, an abscissor, are described. The device measured the force required for a spring-opposed plunger to shear abscission zone explants and was capable of automatically recording break strength data. Examples of data o...

Zusammenfassung:	The construction, operation, and effectiveness of an abscission- measuring instrument, an abscissor, are described. The device measured the force required for a spring-opposed plunger to shear abscission zone explants and was capable of automatically recording break strength data. Examples of data obtained with the abscissor are presented to demonstrate its capability to rapidly measure significant changes in explant break strength.
