Senescence is a developmental process which in annual crop plants overlaps with the
reproductive phase. Senescence might reduce crop yield when it is induced prematurely …

Chlorophyll breakdown is one of the most obvious signs of leaf senescence and fruit
ripening. The resulting yellowing of leaves can be observed every autumn, and the color …

The Science of Grapevines, Third Edition reflects the latest insights into cultivar
relationships, vascular transport, hormone action, and stress responses of grapevines …

This review summarizes the advances that have been made in terms of the identified
functions of melatonin in plants. Melatonin is an endogenously-produced molecule in all …

Leaf senescence is an essential developmental process that impacts dramatically on crop

Climate change, malnutrition, and food insecurity are the inevitable challenges being faced
by the agriculture sector today. Plants are susceptible to extreme temperatures during the …

This review considers the relationship between the lifespan of an individual plant and the
longevity of its component cells, tissues and organs. It begins by defining the terms …

Despite long-standing observations on diverse cytokinin actions, the discovery path to
cytokinin signaling mechanisms was tortuous. Unyielding to conventional genetic screens …

Melatonin, an antioxidant in both animals and plants, has been reported to have beneficial
effects on the aging process. It was also suggested to play a role in extending longevity and …

Leaf senescence can be triggered and promoted by various environmental stressors,
developmental cues, and endogenous hormone signals. Several lines of evidence have …
