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 …

The application of visible (Vis; 400–750 nm) and near infrared red (NIR; 750–2500 nm)
region spectroscopy to assess fruit and vegetables is reviewed in context of …

Leaf senescence is an important developmental process involving orderly disassembly of
macromolecules for relocating nutrients from leaves to other organs and is critical for plants' …

Chlorophyll (Chl) is indispensable for photosynthesis. In association with Chl-binding
proteins (CBPs), it is responsible for light absorption, excitation energy transfer, and charge …

The NAC transcription factor (TF) family is one of the largest plant-specific TF families and its
members are involved in the regulation of many vital biological processes during plant …

Banana (Musa acuminata) fruits ripening at 30° C or above fail to develop yellow peels; this
phenomenon, called green ripening, greatly reduces their marketability. The regulatory …

Highlights•A new pathway has been reviewed for the chlorophyll turnover.•New
transcriptional factors have been identified during the chlorophyll catabolism.•The …

Leaf senescence, which is the last developmental phase of plant growth, is controlled by
multiple genetic and environmental factors. Leaf yellowing is a visual indicator of …

Increased grain yield will be critical to meet the growing demand for food, and could be
achieved by delaying crop senescence. Here, via quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping, we …

In plants, fruit ripening is a coordinated developmental process that requires the change in
expression of hundreds to thousands of genes to modify many biochemical and …
