Ethephon induced oxidative stress in the olive leaf abscission zone enables development of a selective abscission compound

Abstract Background Table olives (Olea europaea L.), despite their widespread production, are still harvested manually. The low efficiency of manual harvesting and the rising costs of labor have reduced the profitability of this crop. A selective abscission treatment, inducing abscission of fruits b...
