Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: The Arabidopsis transcriptional factor NAC016 directly activates chlorophyll degradation during leaf senescence by binding to the promoter of SGR1 and upregulating its transcription. During leaf senescence or abiotic stress in Arabidopsis thaliana, STAYGREEN1 (SGR1) promotes chlorophyll (Chl) degradation, acting with Chl catabolic enzymes, but the mechanism regulating SGR1 transcription remains...
