Leaf senescence, which is the last developmental phase of plant growth, is controlled by
multiple genetic and environmental factors. Leaf yellowing is a visual indicator of …

Chlorophylls (Chls, Chl a and Chl b) are tetrapyrrole molecules essential for photosynthetic
light harvesting and energy transduction in plants. Once formed, Chls are noncovalently …

Research on chlorophyll degradation has progressed significantly in recent decades. In the
1990s, the structure of linear tetrapyrrole, which is unambiguously a chlorophyll degradation …

Chlorophyll (Chl) is composed of a tetrapyrrole ring and a phytol tail, which facilitate light
energy absorbance and assembly with photosynthetic protein complexes, respectively. Chl …

Background For translational genomics, a roadmap is needed to know the molecular
similarities or differences between species, such as model species and crop species. This …

Chinese flowering cabbage is prone to senescence and yellowing after harvest, leading to a
huge postharvest loss. Nitric oxide (NO) is a multifunctional plant growth regulator, but the …

(1) Background: Senescence represents the final stage of plant growth and development,
which transfers nutrients to growing seeds and directly affects the yield and quality of crops …

The cytokinin 6-benzyladenine (6-BA) is widely used to regulate the growth of horticultural
crops. However, it is not clear how postharvest treatment with 6-BA at various concentrations …

The effects of riboflavin treatment on chlorophyll content, chloroplast structure and contents
of endogenous hormones in broccoli during storage at 15° C were investigated. The results …

Chlorophyll breakdown occurs throughout the life cycle of a plant, but is most obvious during
leaf senescence and fruit ripening when respective tissues visually degreen. Important …
