Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The so-called stay-green trait, a delay in onset and progression of leaf senescence, is associated with slower chlorophyll degradation and higher photosynthesis rates during maturation resulting in higher crop yields. Understanding the genetic and physiological basis of the stay-green trait and breeding cultivars with stable stay-green behaviour across a range of different nitrogen (N) conditions and...
