  2. 1. Shedding Light on Shade- and Dark-Induced Leaf Senescence

    Author : Bastiaan Brouwer; Per Gardeström; Karin Krupinska; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arabidopsis; darkness; light; photosynthesis; phytochrome; shade; senescence;

    Abstract : Leaf senescence is the final stage of leaf development, during which the leaf relocates most of itsvaluable nutrients to developing or storing parts of the plant. As this process progresses, leaves losetheir green color and their capacity to perform photosynthesis. READ MORE

  4. 2. The Role of Proteases in Plant Development

    Author : Maribel Garcia-Lorenzo; Christiane Funk; Zach Adam; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Comparative genomics; protease; PCD; leaf senescence; FtsH; Arabidopsis; Populus; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Abstract : Proteases play key roles in plants, maintaining strict protein quality control and degrading specific sets of proteins in response to diverse environmental and developmental stimuli. Similarities and differences between the proteases expressed in different species may give valuable insights into their physiological roles and evolution. READ MORE
