Source and sink interactions play a critical but mechanistically poorly understood role in the
regulation of senescence. To disentangle the genetic and molecular mechanisms …

Premature senescence in annual crops reduces yield, while delayed senescence, termed
stay-green, imposes positive and negative impacts on yield and nutrition quality. Despite its …

Source–sink communication is one of the key regulators of senescence; however, the
mechanisms underlying such regulation are largely unknown. We analysed senescence …

Senescence is an important trait in maize (Zea mais L.), a key crop that provides nutrition
values and a renewable source of bioenergy worldwide. Genome-wide association studies …

Background Leaf senescence is a complex process, controlled by multiple genetic and
environmental variables. In sunflower, leaf senescence is triggered abruptly following …

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 …

The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA)‐induced leaf senescence facilitates nutrient reuse
and potentially contributes to enhancing plant stress tolerance. However, excessive …

Senescence is a programmed process that involves the destruction of the photosynthesis
apparatus and the relocation of nutrients to the grain. Identifying senescence-associated …

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 …

Leaf premature senescence largely determines maize (Zea mays L.) grain yield and quality.
A natural recessive premature-senescence mutant was selected from the breeding …
