Drought and salinity are among the most important environmental factors that hampered
agricultural productivity worldwide. Both stresses can induce several morphological …

Drought is a major environmental stress threatening wheat productivity worldwide. Global
climate models predict changed precipitation patterns with frequent episodes of drought …

Source-to-sink transport of sugar is one of the major determinants of plant growth and relies
on the efficient and controlled distribution of sucrose (and some other sugars such as …

Leaf senescence is a highly regulated physiological process that leads to leaf death and is,
as such, the last developmental stage of the leaf. Plant aging and environmental stresses …

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 …

Leaf senescence is the final stage of leaf development in which the nutrients invested in the
leaf are remobilized to other parts of the plant. Whereas senescence is accompanied by a …

The timing of flag leaf senescence (FLS) is an important determinant of yield under stress
and optimal environments. A doubled haploid population derived from crossing the photo …

Senescence is a genetically programmed and environmentally influenced process resulting
in the destruction of chlorophyll and remobilization of nutrients to younger or reproductive …

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 …

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 …
