Premature leaf senescence in rice is one of the most common factors affecting the plant's
development and yield. Although methyltransferases are involved in diverse biological …

Premature senescence greatly affects the yield production and the grain quality in plants,
although the molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we identified a novel rice …

Melatonin, a natural phytohormone in plants, plays multiple critical roles in plant growth and
stress responses. Although melatonin biosynthesis‐related genes have been suggested to …

Although considerable progress has been made in identifying the genes regulating
accumulation of hormones that are involved in leaf senescence, only a few studies have …

Leaf senescence, which is the last developmental phase of plant growth, is controlled by
multiple genetic and environmental factors. Leaf yellowing is a visual indicator of …

Background Early leaf senescence influences yield and yield quality by affecting plant
growth and development. A series of leaf senescence-associated molecular mechanisms …

Melatonin, an antioxidant in both animals and plants, has been reported to have beneficial
effects on the aging process. It was also suggested to play a role in extending longevity and …

Leaf senescence is a highly complex, genetically regulated and well-ordered process with
multiple layers and pathways. Delaying leaf senescence would help increase grain yields in …

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine), a well-known animal hormone, is involved in
several biological processes including circadian rhythm and the regulation of abiotic stress …

Leaf senescence is a complex biological process and defense responses play vital role for
rice development, their molecular mechanisms, however, remain elusive in rice. We herein …
