Abstract excerpt
The extended stay-green trait is beneficial to increase photosynthetic efficiency, thereby enhancing crop yield. However, factors and mechanisms affecting this process remain largely unknown. Here, we cloned a leaf precocious senescence gene (lps1-1) and created additional null alleles. All lps1 mutants exhibited accelerated leaf senescence with reduced chlorophyll contents and photosynthetic efficiency. The...
