The relation between the source‐sink ratio and nitrogen nutrition on grain yield of wheat
(Triticum aestivum L. cv. Klein Chamaco) was studied in a greenhouse experiment. Plants …

Storage nitrogen (N) is a buffer pool for maintaining leaf growth and synthesizing
photosynthetic proteins, but the dynamics of its forms within the life cycle of a single leaf and …

The role of methyl jasmonate (MeJa) in promoting senescence has been described
previously in many species, but it has been questioned in monocarpic species whether …

Leaf senescence is a genetically controlled dismantling programme that enables plants to
efficiently remobilise nutrients to new growing sinks. It involves substantial metabolic …

Despite a high nitrate uptake capacity, the nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of oilseed rape is
weak due to a relatively low N remobilization from vegetative (mostly leaves) to growing …

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 …

Cereals including wheat and barley are of primary importance to ensure food security for the
21st century. A combination of lab-and field-based approaches has led to a considerably …

Our goal was to identify the leaf proteomic changes which appeared during N remobilisation
that were associated or not associated with senescence of oilseed rape in response to …

Extensive studies have been undertaken on senescence processes in barley and wheat and
their importance for the nitrogen use efficiency of these crop plants. During the senescence …

We studied the impact of delayed leaf senescence on the functioning of plants growing
under conditions of nitrogen remobilization. Interactions between cytokinin metabolism …
