Communication between source organs (exporters of photoassimilates) and sink organs
(importers of fixed carbon) has a pivotal role in carbohydrate assimilation and partitioning …

In the last decade, our understanding of the processes underlying plant response to drought,
at the molecular and whole-plant levels, has rapidly progressed. Here, we review that …

It has long been established that premature leaf senescence negatively impacts the yield
stability of rice, but the underlying molecular mechanism driving this relationship remains …

Chlorophyll (Chl) degradation is an integral process of leaf senescence, and NYE1/SGR1
has been demonstrated as a key regulator of Chl catabolism in diverse plant species. In this …

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

Inducible defense-related proteins have been described in many plant species upon
infection with oomycetes, fungi, bacteria, or viruses, or insect attack. Several types of …

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 …

The objectives of this study were to test the effects of exogenous melatonin on apple (Malus
domestica Borkh. cv. Golden Delicious) leaves and investigate its possible physiological …

Sugars play important roles as both nutrients and regulatory molecules throughout plant life.
Sugar metabolism and signalling function in an intricate network with numerous hormones …

The plant-specific WRKY transcription factor (TF) family with 74 members in Arabidopsis
thaliana appears to be involved in the regulation of various physiological processes …
