Description
Leaves yellow and die on schedule, feeding their nutrients back to the plant for seeds and survival. Phan Phuong Thao Doan, Hue Huong Vuong, and Jeongsik Kim review the genetics of that schedule in a 2024 paper. Their angle is the variety nature and farming already hold: wild relatives, landraces, and bred cultivars.
The review gathers what gene-mapping methods have found in model plants and major crops, from trait locus scans to genome-wide association studies and direct gene tests in plants. It names the key regulatory genes and pathways that set the timing of senescence. Stress from drought, heat, and attack can trigger early yellowing, and the review covers the genetics of those shortcuts too. The authors close with the open problems in turning this knowledge into hardier crops under climate change.
