Abstract excerpt
Leaf senescence is a finely regulated cellular process orchestrated by developmental programs and environmental factors. While mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades have been documented to participate in the regulation of leaf senescence, their functional involvement in this process in melon (Cucumis melo L.) remains largely uncharacterized. Here, we identified that CmMAPK6 acts as a positive regulator...
