In plants, the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway (CBP) is essential for the production of
photosynthetic and protective pigments, plant hormones, and visual/olfactory attractants for …

Forest trees are exposed to a myriad of single and combined stresses with varying strength
and duration throughout their lifetime, and many of the simultaneous and successive stress …

Leaf senescence is an essential developmental process that impacts dramatically on crop
yields and involves altered regulation of thousands of genes and many metabolic and …

Senescence is an age-dependent process, ultimately leading to plant death, that in annual
crop plants overlaps with the reproductive stage of development. Research on the molecular …

Leaf senescence constitutes the final stage of leaf development and is critical for plants'
fitness as nutrient relocation from leaves to reproducing seeds is achieved through this …

The transition from juvenility through maturation to senescence is a complex process that
involves the regulation of longevity. Here, we identify JUNGBRUNNEN1 (JUB1), a hydrogen …

An analysis of changes in global gene expression patterns during developmental leaf
senescence in Arabidopsis has identified more than 800 genes that show a reproducible …

Leaf senescence is a unique developmental process that is characterized by massive
programmed cell death and nutrient recycling. The underlying molecular regulatory …

Glutamine synthetase assimilates ammonium into amino acids, thus it is a key enzyme for
nitrogen metabolism. The cytosolic isoenzymes of glutamine synthetase assimilate …

During leaf senescence, the final stage of leaf development, nutrients are recycled from
leaves to other organs, and therefore proper control of senescence is thus critical for plant …
