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 …

Plastoglobuli (PGs) are plastid lipoprotein particles surrounded by a membrane lipid
monolayer. PGs contain small specialized proteomes and metabolomes. They are present in …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are one of the most widely used nanomaterials, but the
mechanism of AgNP toxicity in terrestrial plants is still unclear. We compared the toxic effects …

Senescence is a highly organized and well‐regulated process. As much as 75% of total
cellular nitrogen may be located in mesophyll chloroplasts of C3‐plants. Proteolysis of …

Loss of green color in leaves results from chlorophyll (Chl) degradation in chloroplasts, but
little is known about how Chl catabolism is regulated throughout leaf development. Using …

Autophagy is an intracellular process for vacuolar bulk degradation of cytoplasmic
components. The molecular machinery responsible for yeast and mammalian autophagy …

Abstract Ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) is the predominant
protein in photosynthesizing plant parts and the most abundant protein on earth. Amino …

We have studied autumn leaf senescence in a free-growing aspen (Populus tremula) by
following changes in pigment, metabolite and nutrient content, photosynthesis, and cell and …

Plants are sessile organisms. Consequently they have to adapt constantly to fluctuations in
the environment. Some of these changes involve essential factors such as nutrients, light …

Leaf senescence is a genetically programmed decline in various cellular processes
including photosynthesis and involves the hydrolysis of macromolecules such as proteins …
