The WRKY gene family in flowering plants encodes a large group of transcription factors
(TFs) that play essential roles in diverse stress responses, developmental, and physiological …

WRKY transcription factors are one of the largest families of transcriptional regulators found
exclusively in plants. They have diverse biological functions in plant disease resistance …

Leaf senescence is a highly coordinated, complicated process involving the integration of
numerous internal and environmental signals. Salicylic acid (SA) and reactive oxygen …

Chlorophyll (Chl) degradation is an integral process of leaf senescence, and NYE1/SGR1

Stay-green sorghum plants exhibit greener leaves and stems during the grain-filling period
under water-limited conditions compared with their senescent counterparts, resulting in …

Numerous endogenous and environmental signals regulate the intricate and highly
orchestrated process of plant senescence. Ethylene is a well-known inducer of senescence …

Jasmonates (JAs) are lipid-derived compounds acting as key signaling compounds in plant
