(N/A) Abscission is the natural process of shedding or separation of plant parts such as leaves,flowers,fruits,or branches from the main plant body.

It is primarily regulated by the balance between plant hormones,specifically the increase in $ABA$ (Abscisic Acid) and ethylene,and the decrease in auxins.
