To determine the range of gene activities associated with leaf senescence, we have
identified genes that show preferential transcript accumulation during this developmental …

Leaf senescence is a complex mechanism controlled by multiple genetic and environmental
variables. Different crops present a delay in leaf senescence with an important impact on …

Fruits of angiosperms can be divided into dry and fleshy fruits, depending on their dispersal
strategies. Despite their apparently different developmental programmes, researchers have …

Leaf senescence is a type of postmitotic senescence. The onset and progression of leaf
senescence are controlled by an array of external and internal factors including age, levels …

Two cDNA libraries were prepared, one from leaves of a field-grown aspen (Populus
tremula) tree, harvested just before any visible sign of leaf senescence in the autumn, and …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the application of evolutionary and
demographic approaches to senescence and to the study of plants and the determination of …

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 …

All cells are born in more or less the same way, and die in more or less different ways. Leaf
cells are typical of plant cells in their origins and ultimate fates. A leaf cell faces the prospect …

This monograph provides basic and empiric information underlying processes believed to
be involved in the doubtless multifunctional plant senescence syndrome. While essentially …

Although leaf senescence results in a loss of photosynthetic carbon fixation, the senescence-
dependent release of nutrients, especially of nitrogen, is important for the growth of young …
