Chlorophyll breakdown is an important catabolic process of leaf senescence and fruit
ripening. Structure elucidation of colorless linear tetrapyrroles as (final) breakdown products …

The catabolic pathway of chlorophyll (Chl) during senescence and fruit ripening leads to the
accumulation of colorless breakdown products (NCCs). This review updates an earlier …

With the centenary of the first descriptions of 'hypersensitiveness' following pathogenic
challenge upon us, it is appropriate to assess our current understanding of the …

Visible light is the basic energetic driver of plant biomass production through
photosynthesis. The constantly fluctuating availability of light and other environmental …

Degreening caused by rapid chlorophyll (Chl) degradation is a characteristic event during
green organ senescence or maturation. Pheophorbide a oxygenase gene (PAO) encodes a …

Chlorophyll degradation is an aspect of leaf senescence, which is an active process to
salvage nutrients from old tissues. non-yellow coloring1 (nyc1) is a rice (Oryza sativa) stay …

Melatonin (N‐acetyl‐5‐methoxytryptamine) is a highly conserved molecule whose presence
is not exclusive to the animal kingdom. Indeed, numerous studies have demonstrated its …

Stay-green mutants are delayed in leaf senescence and have been identified from different
plant species, including many crops. Functional stay-greens have the potential to increase …

Yellowing, which is related to the degradation of chlorophyll and chlorophyll–protein
complexes, is a notable phenomenon during leaf senescence. NON‐YELLOW COLORING1 …

An elevated growth temperature often inhibits plant defense responses and renders plants
more susceptible to pathogens. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this …
