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 …

Leaf senescence, being the final developmental stage of the leaf, signifies the transition from
a mature, photosynthetically active organ to the attenuation of said function and eventual …

Much of the nitrogen in leaves is distributed to chloroplasts, mainly in photosynthetic
proteins. During leaf senescence, chloroplastic proteins, including Rubisco, are rapidly …

Autophagy is an intracellular process for vacuolar bulk degradation of cytoplasmic
components. The molecular machinery responsible for yeast and mammalian autophagy …
