The cloning of genes induced during leaf senescence and the study of their modes of
regulation conducted in the past two years have revealed some of the molecular …

Leaf senescence is a highly regulated degenerative process that involves a series of
concerted biochemical reactions (Nam, 1997; Quirino et al., 2000; Buchanan-Wollaston et …

Considering the early phylogenetic appearance of functional xylem and phloem elements
and the range of senescent processes expressed onto genetically, it becomes apparent that …

This article evaluates features of leaf and flower senescence that are shared with, or are
different from, those of other terminal events in plant development. Alterations of plastid …

Leaf senescence constitutes the final stage of leaf development and is critical for plants'
fitness as nutrient relocation from leaves to reproducing seeds is achieved through this …

The life of a leaf initiated from a leaf primordium ends with senescence, the final step of leaf
development. Leaf senescence is a developmentally programmed degeneration process …

Leaf senescence is a highly-controlled sequence of events comprising the final stage of
development. Cells remain viable during the process and new gene expression is required …

Senescence in plants is usually viewed as an internally programmed degeneration leading
to death. It is a developmental process that occurs in many different tissues and serves …

As a representative form of plant senescence, leaf senescence has received the most
attention during the last two decades. In this chapter we summarize the initiation of leaf …

Plants synchronize their life history events with proper seasonal conditions, and as the
fitness consequences of each life stage depend on previous and/or subsequent one …
