Premature senescence can limit crop productivity by limiting the growth phase. In the
present study, a spontaneous premature senescence mutant was identified in rice (Oryza …

Premature leaf senescence negatively impacts the grain yield in the important monocot rice
(Oryza sativa L.); to understand the molecular mechanism we carried out a screen for …

Leaves play a key role in photosynthesis in rice plants. The premature senescence of such
plants directly reduces the accumulation of photosynthetic products and also affects yield …

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

Leaf senescence is a genetically regulated, highly complex and ordered process. Although it
has been extensively studied, the mechanism of leaf senescence is not well understood. In …

Leaf senescence as an active process is essential for plant survival and reproduction.
However, premature senility is harmful to agricultural production. In this study, a rice mutant …

Premature leaf senescence (PLS), which has a significant impact on yield, is caused by
various underlying mechanisms. Glycosyltransferases, which function in glycosyl transfer …

Early leaf senescence is an important agronomic trait that affects crop yield and quality. To
understand the molecular mechanism of early leaf senescence, Oryza sativa premature leaf …

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 …

An early senescence leaf 4 (esl4) mutant of rice (Oryza sativa L.) displayed yellowing
followed by severe chlorosis of the leaf apex and margin from the late jointing stage to …
