Ethylene Role in Plant Growth, Development and Senescence: Interaction with Other Phytohormones (2017, background): “At the molecular level, ethylene has been shown to be involved in the organized cell dismantling and the activation of nutrients recycling from senescing leaves to the other organs.”
The molecular analysis of leaf senescence--a genomics approach. (2002, background): “A further study by Jordi et al. (2000), using nitrogen-limited growth conditions, showed that chlorophyll levels were maintained in senescing leaves on the transgenic plants but soluble protein levels and photosynthetic activity were not very different from wild-type.”
Crop Breeding for Low Input Agriculture: A Sustainable Response to Feed a Growing World Population (2011, background): “Delayed leaf senescence is especially related to the physiology of the hormone cytokinin, and its associated genes seems to be key to molecular breeding of this trait under low-input conditions [69,70].”
