Leaf senescence is an active process that involves the increased expression of many
hundreds of genes. Many putative transcription factors show enhanced transcription during …

The senescence of plant organs associated with reproductive development has been
studied extensively during the past century, and it has long been recognized that this type of …

Leaf senescence is a developmentally programmed degeneration process that constitutes
the final step of leaf development and is controlled by multiple developmental and …

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 …

Aging-related processes in plant tissues are associated with changes in developmental and
physiological processes relevant for stress tolerance and plant performance. While …

How do organisms, organs, tissues and cells change their fate when they age towards
senescence and death? Plant leaves provide a unique window to explore this question …

Leaf senescence is a process of programmed cell death, which is induced in an age-
dependent manner and by various environmental cues. The mechanisms that regulate the …

An analysis of changes in global gene expression patterns during developmental leaf
senescence in Arabidopsis has identified more than 800 genes that show a reproducible …

Some species of plants are, perhaps, closer to immortality than any other life form on earth.
Polycarpic, perennial species such as the Bristlecone pine are many times older than any …

Senescence in green plants is a complex and highly regulated process that occurs as part of
plant development or can be prematurely induced by stress. In the last decade, the main …
