Leaf senescence is the last stage of leaf development, manifested by leaf yellowing due to
the loss of chlorophyll, along with the degradation of macromolecules and facilitates nutrient …

Maize (Zea mays) is a major staple crop in Africa, where its yield and the livelihood of
millions are compromised by the parasitic witchweed Striga. Germination of Striga is …

Phosphorus (P) is a major element required for plant growth and development. To cope with
P shortage, plants activate local and long‐distance signaling pathways, such as an increase …

Plants started to colonize land around 500 million years ago. It meant dealing with new
challenges like absence of buoyancy, water and nutrients shortage, increased light …

Both strigolactones (SLs) and nitric oxide (NO) are regulatory signals with diverse roles
during stress responses. At present, the interaction and mechanism of SLs and NO in tomato …

Strigolactones (SLs) are rhizosphere signalling molecules and phytohormones. The
biosynthetic pathway of SLs in tomato has been partially elucidated, but the structural …

Quality deterioration and senescence are the main causes of loss of fruit postharvest. Here,
the effects of 200 μmol L− 1 strigolactone GR24 on the physicochemical characters …

Exogenous brassinolide (BR) and strigolactones (SLs) play an important role in alleviating
salt stress in maize. We studied the morphological and physiological responses of the salt …

The double‐recessive genic male‐sterile (ms) line ms5 ms6 has been used to develop
cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) hybrids for many years, but its molecular‐genetic basis has …

Chromoplasts and chloroplasts contain carotenoid pigments as all-trans-and cis-isomers,
which function as accessory light-harvesting pigments, antioxidant and photoprotective …
