Characterization of seed shattering and seed abscission zone histology. a, abscission zone (AZ) consisted of an approximately 1- mm region of the pedicel and 1.5 mm of the flower. The rest regions of pedicel is referred to as non-abscission zone (NAZ). b, longitudinal section (a) and cross section (b) of AZ. Abscission layers (AL) could be stained dark red by safranin. Scanning electron photos of pedicel- seed junction after detachment of seed, c, pedicel region, d, seed region. C, longitudinal section of abscission layers at 21 DAH (e) and 28 DAH (f) in E. sibiricus
