Organ senescence is an important developmental process in plants that enables recycling of
nutrients, such as nitrogen, to maximize reproductive success. Nitrogen is the mineral …

As a result of climate changes, land use and agriculture have to adapt to new demands.
Agriculture is responsible for a large part of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that have …

Perennials have a number of traits important for profitability and sustainability of a biofuel
crop. Perennialism is generally defined as the ability to grow and reproduce in multiple …

Senescence is a key physiological process that can regulate crop grain yield. Patterns of
leaf senescence and its association with grain yield for a short maturity maize hybrid were …

Retention of green leaf area in grain sorghum under post‐anthesis drought, known as stay‐
green, is associated with greater biomass production, lodging resistance and yield. The stay …

Abstract Aims Winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) cultivation causes high nitrogen (N)
balance surpluses. The breeding and cultivation of N-efficient cultivars (high grain yield …

Leaf senescence is a developmentally controlled process, which is additionally modulated
by a number of adverse environmental conditions. Nitrogen shortage is a well-known trigger …

Plants are able to utilize nitrogen very economically. The high mobility of this macronutrient
in xylem and phloem allows redistribution throughout the life cycle. The nitrogen demand of …

Very early during their reproductive phase, annual plants initiate the process of senescence.
Monocarpic senescence describes the last steps in these plants' development; senescence …

Nitrogen demand from soybean seeds during seed filling is very high and has been
proposed as the cause of nitrogen remobilization and leaf senescence. Previous research …
