Abscission of the floral tube progresses in successive stages that encompass large areas from the distal to the proximal portion of the break. Carbohydrates accumulate in the phloem at the basal portion where the fruit is attached to the pedicel. Carbohydrate depletion was found distally to the abscission zone. Xylem tissues were the last to abscise and the point of origin of abscission was the adaxial surface of the floral cup. Understanding these stages of development should assist fruit growers in regulating their cultural practices for economic production of fruit.
