Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) plants were grown with saline–sodic water (SSW) by
treating with potassium (K@ 100 and 200 mg K2O kg− 1 soil) and farm yard manure (FYM …

Water deficit reduces crop productivity. Cytokinin (CK) is a growth regulator which is a potent
coordinator between physiological traits and senescence. A study was carried out to …

Optimizing senescence in specific plant species is a significant objective in crop breeding
programs. Senescence in plants serves to redistribute nutrients from older tissues to new …
