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' …

Abiotic stress is a primary threat to fulfill the demand of agricultural production to feed the
world in coming decades. Plants reduce growth and development process during stress …

Drought stress is an important environmental factor limiting plant productivity. In this study,
we screened drought-resistant transgenic plants from 65 promoter-pyrabactin resistance 1 …

Plants are challenged with numerous abiotic stresses, such as drought, cold, heat, and salt
stress. These environmental stresses are major causes of crop failure and reduced yields …

Jasmonates (JAs)[Jasmonic acid (JA) and methyl jasmonates (MeJAs)] are known to take
part in various physiological processes. Exogenous application of JAs so far tested on …

In recent years salicylic acid (SA) has been the focus of intensive research due to its function
as an endogenous signal mediating local and systemic plant defence responses against …

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

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 …
