Description for Annual Plant Reviews, Senescence Processes in Plants
Hardback. The scientific and economic significance of plant senescence means that much effort has been made to understand the processes involved and to devise means of manipulating them agriculturally. During the past few years there has been considerable progress in this regard, especially in the molecular, genetic and genomic aspects. Editor(s): Gan, Susheng. Series: Annual Plant Reviews. Num Pages: 352 pages, 105 illustrations. BIC Classification: PST. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 238 x 166 x 25. Weight in Grams: 660.
The scientific and economic significance of plant senescence means that much effort has been made to understand the processes involved and to devise means of manipulating them agriculturally. During the past few years there has been considerable progress in this regard, especially in the molecular, genetic and genomic aspects. Senescence has a tremendous impact on agriculture. For example, leaf senescence limits crop yield and biomass production, and contributes substantially to postharvest loss in vegetable and ornamental crops during transportation, storage and on shelves. In addition, proteins, antioxidants and other nutritional compounds are degraded during senescence. Senescing tissues also become more ... Read more

Reviews for Annual Plant Reviews, Senescence Processes in Plants
"This volume would be most valuable for graduate students or more senior research who are initiating research programs to determine how the senescence process in plants might be controlled." (Quarterly Review of Biology, December 2008) "This volume summarizes recent progresses in the physiology, biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, genomics, proteomics, and biotechnology of plant senescence...
