Photosynthesis is not only essential for plants, but it also sustains life on Earth.
Phytohormones play crucial roles in developmental processes, from organ initiation to …

Chlorophyll breakdown is one of the most obvious signs of leaf senescence and fruit
ripening. The resulting yellowing of leaves can be observed every autumn, and the color …

Plants initiate senescence to shed photosynthetically inefficient leaves. Light deprivation
induces leaf senescence, which involves massive transcriptional reprogramming to …

Leaf senescence is an essential developmental process that impacts dramatically on crop
yields and involves altered regulation of thousands of genes and many metabolic and …

Stay-green (sometimes staygreen) refers to the heritable delayed foliar senescence
character in model and crop plant species. In a cosmetic stay-green, a lesion interferes with …

Most classical plant hormones are also produced by pathogenic and symbiotic fungi. The
way in which these molecules favour the invasion of plant tissues and the development of …

Leaf senescence is regulated by diverse developmental and environmental factors.
Exogenous jasmonic acid (JA) can induce leaf senescence, whereas auxin suppresses this …

Leaf senescence can be triggered and promoted by various environmental stressors,
developmental cues, and endogenous hormone signals. Several lines of evidence have …

Degreening, caused by chlorophyll degradation, is the most obvious symptom of senescing
leaves. Chlorophyll degradation can be triggered by endogenous and environmental cues …

The plant-specific WRKY transcription factor (TF) family with 74 members in Arabidopsis
thaliana appears to be involved in the regulation of various physiological processes …
