Schuster, M.; van der Hoorn, R. A.;Plant biology: distinct new players in processing peptide hormones during abscissionCurr. Biol.30R715-R717(2020)DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2020.04.072
Flower organ abscission in Arabidopsis is regulated by a peptide hormone that is released from its precursor by a network of redundant subtilases. An exciting new study describes how drought-induced flower abscission in tomato is regulated similarly, but distinctly via a single, different subtilase that releases a very different peptide hormone.
