Plant biology: distinct new players in processing peptide hormones during abscission

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...
