Leaf senescence, the last stage of leaf development, is a type of postmitotic senescence and
is characterized by the functional transition from nutrient assimilation to nutrient …

Strigolactones are a structurally diverse class of plant hormones that control many aspects of
shoot and root growth. Strigolactones are also exuded by plants into the rhizosphere, where …

Crop productivity relies heavily on nitrogen (N) fertilization. Production and application of N
fertilizers consume huge amounts of energy, and excess is detrimental to the environment; …

Background Jasmonates are important regulators in plant responses to biotic and abiotic
stresses as well as in development. Synthesized from lipid-constituents, the initially formed …

It is well known that abscisic acid (ABA)-induced leaf senescence and premature leaf
senescence negatively affect the yield of rice (Oryza sativa). However, the molecular …

It has long been established that premature leaf senescence negatively impacts the yield
stability of rice, but the underlying molecular mechanism driving this relationship remains …

Strigolactones are a recently discovered class of plant hormone involved in branching, leaf
senescence, root development, and plant-microbe interactions [1–6]. They are carotenoid …

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 …

Grain yield in rice is a complex trait multiplicatively determined by its three component traits:
number of panicles, number of grains per panicle, and grain weight; all of which are typical …

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 …
