| Sumario: | The function of abscission zones (AZs) determines the timing of fleshy fruit
abscission, with important consequences not only for the optimal fruit harvest,
but also on the overall final fruit quality. In this context, chemical treatments are
commonly used at different stages of fruit development to control fruit
abscission, which can also have positive or negative effects on fruit quality. In
the current review, we examine commonly used chemicals that affect the
metabolic activity in the AZs of fleshy fruit, in addition to their effects on fruit
quality characteristics. The main hormone metabolism and signaling in the AZ
include that of ethylene, auxin, abscisic acid and jasmonates, and the molecular
components that are involved are covered and discussed, in addition to how
these hormones work together to regulate AZ activity and hence, affect fruit
quality. We focus on studies that have provided new insight into possible protein
complexes that function in the AZ, including multiple MADS-box transcription
