Leaf senescence is a genetically controlled dismantling programme that enables plants to
efficiently remobilise nutrients to new growing sinks. It involves substantial metabolic …

Senescence represents the final developmental act of the leaf, during which the leaf cell is
dismantled in a coordinated manner to remobilize nutrients and to secure reproductive …

Leaf senescence is a complex developmental phase that involves both degenerative and
nutrient recycling processes. It is characterized by loss of chlorophyll and the degradation of …

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 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 …

What controls the length of life is one of the fundamental biological questions that has been
puzzling scientists for centuries. Plants have many life-forms and differ greatly in the …

Plant leaves offer an exclusive windowpane to uncover the changes in organs, tissues, and
cells as they advance towards the process of senescence and death. Drought-induced leaf …

Highlights•Explanation of the window concept and competence to senesce.•Transcriptional
networks controlling developmental senescence are introduced from the senescence …

The application of systems biology approaches has greatly facilitated the process of
deciphering the molecular mechanisms underlying leaf senescence. Analyses of the leaf …

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 …
