Senescence is an age-dependent process, ultimately leading to plant death, that in annual
crop plants overlaps with the reproductive stage of development. Research on the molecular …

The study of senescence in plants is complicated by diverse levels of temporal and spatial
dynamics as well as the impact of external biotic and abiotic factors and crop plant …

Human mineral malnutrition or hidden hunger is considered a global challenge, affecting a
large proportion of the world's population. The reduction in the mineral content of edible …

Epigenetic variation has been proposed to facilitate adaptation to changing environments,
but evidence that natural epialleles contribute to adaptive evolution has been lacking. Here …

The rice (Oryza sativa L.) ethylene‐responsive transcription factor gene SUB1A‐1 confers
tolerance to prolonged, complete submergence by limiting underwater elongation growth …

The ethylene response factor (ERF) and phytohormone jasmonate (JA) are reported to
function in leaf senescence. The involvement of ERF in JA-mediated leaf senescence …

Plant leaves undergo a series of developmental changes from leaf primordium initiation
through growth and maturation to senescence throughout their life span. Although the …

Phytohormone gibberellin (GA) and plant-specific WRKY transcription factors (TFs) are
reported to play important roles in leaf senescence. The association of WRKY TFs with GA …

Anthocyanic morphs are generally less efficient in terms of carbon gain, but, in turn, are
more photoprotected than anthocyanin-less ones. To date, mature leaves of different morphs …

Remobilization of zinc (Zn) from shoot to grain contributes significantly to Zn grain
concentrations and thereby to food quality. On the other hand, strong accumulation of …
