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

Senescence enables the remobilization of nitrogen and micronutrients from vegetative
tissues of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) into the grain. Understanding the molecular players in …

The present study was undertaken to profile transcriptional changes in flag leaves between
anthesis and end of grain filling stages of rainfed spring wheat cultivar under varying …

Background Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) plays a crucial role in the utilization of
heterosis and various types of CMS often have different abortion mechanisms. Therefore, it …

Main conclusion Characterization of the early leaf senescence mutant els3 and identification
of its causal gene ELS3, which encodes an LRR-RLK protein in wheat. Abstract Leaf …

Leaf senescence is crucial for crop yield and quality. Transcriptional regulation is a key step
for integrating various senescence-related signals into the nucleus. However, few regulators …

Background Lesion-mimic and premature aging (lmpa) mutant lmpa1 was identified from the
ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) mutant library in the bread wheat variety Keda 527 (KD527) …

Senescence affects the remobilization of nutrients and adaption of the plant to the
environment. Combined stresses can result in premature senescence in plants which exist …

Background Leaf senescence is a complex process, controlled by multiple genetic and
environmental variables. In sunflower, leaf senescence is triggered abruptly following …

Terminal heat stress is one of the major problems in wheat growth, yield and grain-quality.
Here, we have developed wheat mutant (M3) for HS-tolerance and improved grain-quality …
