The process of leaf senescence consists of the final stage of leaf development. It has
evolved as a mechanism to degrade macromolecules and micronutrients and remobilize …

Everybody is familiar with the visual aspects of plant senescence. Color changes occurring
in senescing leaves are, however, only one (albeit striking) symptom of the senescence …

For some time it has been conventional to regard leaf senescence as a species of
catastrophe in which the activities of the mature, carbon-exporting leaf lose both their …

Leaf senescence is a sequence of biochemical and physiological events comprising the
final stage in leaf development. It encompasses the period from a fully expanded mature …

Leaf senescence results in the recycling of nutrients, thereby providing resources required
for growth and reproduction. In this study, the effect of day‐length on leaf senescence in …

Leaf senescence, the last stage of leaf development, is a type of postmitotic senescence and
is characterized by the functional transition from nutrient assimilation to nutrient …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the changes in gene expression during
senescence. Some molecular events occur among senescing tissues. The processes of …

Senescence is a developmental process in the life cycle of a plant or a plant organ which
has an intrinsic link with longevity. In human and animal sciences, the question of what …

Leaf senescence is a genetically controlled degenerative process leading to cell death,
which occurs at a given time, even when growth conditions are near optimal. Senescence …
