Salt stress is a complex trait that poses a grand challenge in developing new crops better
adapted to saline environments. Some plants, called recretohalophytes, that have naturally …

Leaf senescence is a complex but tightly regulated developmental process involving a
coordinated sequence of multiple molecular events, which ultimately leads to death of the …

Plant leaves, harvesting light energy and fixing CO2, are a major source of foods on the
earth. Leaves undergo developmental and physiological shifts during their lifespan, ending …

Within the last decade, NAC transcription factors have been shown to play essential roles in
senescence, which is the focus of this review. Transcriptome analyses associate …

In plants, UGTs (UDP-glycosyltransferases) glycosylate various phytohormones and
metabolites in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Little is known about stress …

Many reference genes are used by different laboratories for gene expression analyses to
indicate the relative amount of input RNA/DNA in the experiment. These reference genes …

Senescence is a tightly regulated developmental program coordinated by transcription
factors. Identifying these transcription factors in crops will provide opportunities to tailor the …

Leaf senescence, being the final developmental stage of the leaf, signifies the transition from
a mature, photosynthetically active organ to the attenuation of said function and eventual …

Senescence is the final stage of plant ontogeny before death. Senescence may occur
naturally because of age or may be induced by various endogenous and exogenous factors …

Gibberellic acid-stimulated Arabidopsis (GASA) proteins, as cysteine-rich peptides (CRPs),
play roles in development and reproduction and biotic and abiotic stresses. Although the …
