ABSCISE Meaning and
Definition
-
Abscise (verb):
1. To abscise is to detach or separate a part of a plant, generally a leaf, branch, or fruit, at the point of attachment to the main body or parent plant. This detachment is a natural process commonly observed during the life cycle of plants, such as deciduous trees, where the shedding of leaves in autumn occurs through abscission. Abscission involves the formation of an abscission zone, which is a layer of specialized cells that develop at the base of the leaf or branch. These cells undergo physiological changes and release enzymes, leading to the separation and sealing off of the detached part.
2. Abscise can also refer to the deliberate removal or cutting off of a body part, either in medical procedures or in horticulture. In the medical sense, it may involve the surgical removal of a tumor, organ, or limb, for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes. In horticulture, abscising may involve pruning, trimming, or cutting back plant parts to enhance growth, maintain shape, or remove diseased or damaged areas.
The term "abscise" derives from the Latin word "abscindere," which means "to cut off." It encompasses the natural shedding of plant parts as well as intentional removal through cutting or surgery. Understanding the process of abscission is crucial for horticulturists, arborists, and surgeons, as it enables them to effectively manage plant growth, maintain health, and perform surgical interventions.
