Leaf senescence is the last stage of leaf development and is an orderly biological process
accompanied by degradation of macromolecules and nutrient recycling, which contributes to …

MicroRNAs are small RNAs, 20–22 nt long, the main role of which is to downregulate gene
expression at the level of mRNAs. MiRNAs are fundamental regulators of plant growth and …

Evolutionarily conserved microRNAs (miRNAs) usually have high copy numbers in the
genome. The redundant and specific roles of each member of a multimember miRNA gene …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in regulating flowering and reproduction of
angiosperms. Mature miRNAs are encoded by multiple MIRNA genes that can differ in their …

Monocarpic plants have a single reproductive phase in their life. Therefore, flower and fruit
production are restricted to the length of this period. This reproductive strategy involves the …

How transcription factors attain their target gene specificity and how this specificity may be
modulated, acquiring different regulatory functions through the development of plant tissues …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) maturity involves several important traits, including the onset
of tuberization, flowering, leaf senescence, and the length of the plant life cycle. The timing …

Plants integrate environmental information into their developmental program throughout
their lifetime. Light and temperature are particularly critical cues for plants to correctly time …

In monocarpic plants, all reproductive meristem activity arrests and flower production ceases
after the production of a certain number of fruits. This proliferative arrest (PA) is an …

Meristems are stem cell-containing structures that produce all plant organs and are therefore
important targets for crop improvement. Developmental regulators control the balance and …
