Abstract excerpt
Leaf senescence is a turning point for grain development and closely related to yield and grain quality. Fine-tuning leaf senescence could be a vital strategy for yield improvement. However, our knowledge of the regulatory genes of leaf senescence is limited in wheat. In this study, we identified a methanesulfonate (EMS) mutant, wheat pale green 1 (wpg1), exhibiting obvious leaf chlorisis and premature senescence...
