Abscission, a cell separation process, is an important trait that influences grain and fruit yield. We previously reported that BEL1-LIKE HOMEODOMAIN 4 (SlBL4) is involved in chloroplast development and cell wall metabolism in tomato fruit. In the present study, we showed that silencing SlBL4 resulted in the enlargement and pre-abscission of the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum cv. Micro-TOM) fruit pedicel. The anatomic analysis showed the presence of more epidermal cell layers and no obvious abscission zone (AZ) in the SlBL4 RNAi lines
