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 …

Drought stress negatively affects crop performance and weakens global food security. It
triggers the activation of downstream pathways, mainly through phytohormones …

The phytohormone cytokinin was originally discovered as a regulator of cell division. Later, it
was described to be involved in regulating numerous processes in plant growth and …

Crop yield reduction as a consequence of increasingly severe climatic events threatens
global food security. Genetic loci that ensure productivity in challenging environments exist …

Plant growth and development are critically influenced by unpredictable abiotic factors. To
survive fluctuating changes in their environments, plants have had to develop robust …

Plant growth regulators are naturally biosynthesized chemicals in plants that influence
physiological processes. Their synthetic analogous trigger numerous biochemical and …

Post-genomics era has witnessed the development of cutting-edge technologies that have
offered cost-efficient and high-throughput ways for molecular characterization of the function …

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 …

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 …

In plants, the cytokinin (CK) phytohormones regulate numerous biological processes,
including responses to environmental stresses, via a complex network of CK signaling. By …
