Leaf senescence, the last stage of leaf development, is a type of postmitotic senescence and
is characterized by the functional transition from nutrient assimilation to nutrient …

Leaf senescence is an important developmental process involving orderly disassembly of
macromolecules for relocating nutrients from leaves to other organs and is critical for plants' …

As a result of climate changes, land use and agriculture have to adapt to new demands.
Agriculture is responsible for a large part of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that have …

Background Productive agriculture needs a large amount of expensive nitrogenous
fertilizers. Improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of crop plants is thus of key importance …

Chlorophyll breakdown is an important catabolic process of leaf senescence and fruit
ripening. Structure elucidation of colorless linear tetrapyrroles as (final) breakdown products …

Leaf senescence constitutes the final stage of leaf development and is critical for plants'
fitness as nutrient relocation from leaves to reproducing seeds is achieved through this …

Senescence is an age-dependent process, ultimately leading to plant death, that in annual
crop plants overlaps with the reproductive stage of development. Research on the molecular …

Large numbers of publications have appeared over the last few years, dealing with the
molecular details of the regulation and process of the autophagy machinery in animals …

Senescence represents the final developmental act of the leaf, during which the leaf cell is
dismantled in a coordinated manner to remobilize nutrients and to secure reproductive …

In cellular circumstances under which carbohydrates are scarce, plants can metabolize
proteins and lipids as alternative respiratory substrates. Respiration of protein is less …
