Make, Modify, Move: Multilayered Regulation of ONAC054 During ABA-Induced Leaf Senescence
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In Brief‘Senescence’ originates from the Latin word senescere, to grow old. However, the process of leaf senescence is not simply the passive death of the leaf but instead represents an active and highly regulated process of nutrient remobilization from older leaves into developing parts of the plant to…
