Leaves provide energy for plants, and consequently for animals, through photosynthesis.
Despite their important functions, plant leaf developmental processes and their underlying …

The complex juvenile/maturity transition during a plant's life cycle includes growth,
reproduction, and senescence of its fundamental organs: leaves, flowers, and fruits. Growth …

Here we highlight how both the root and shoot environment impact on whole plant hormone
balance, particularly under stresses such as soil drying, and relate hormone ratios and …

Ethylene regulates entry into several types of plant developmental cell death and
senescence programs besides mediating plant responses to biotic and abiotic stress. The …

Leaf senescence is a complex mechanism controlled by multiple genetic and environmental
variables. Different crops present a delay in leaf senescence with an important impact on …

Ethylene, a gaseous plant hormone regulates essentially all physiological processes during
the plant's life cycle. The practical implications of ethylene biosynthesis regulation for plant …

Accurate assessment of apple fruit maturity at harvest is required since fruit harvested too
early or too late are susceptible to physiological disorders or excessive softening during …

Laser photoacoustic spectroscopy continuously quantified the ethylene (C2H4) produced by
strawberry flowers and fruits developing in planta. C2H4 was first detected as flower buds …

Phytochrome B (phyB) enables plants to modify shoot branching or tillering in response to
varying light intensities and ratios of red and far-red light caused by shading and neighbor …

Changes in photosynthetic capacity and efficiency, and in carotenoid composition have
been examined during leaf ontogeny in the pasture legume white clover, Trifolium repens …
