Chloroplast Protein Degradation Pathways During Leaf Senescence: Coordination and Roles in Nitrogen Remobilization

Leaf senescence is a highly programmed developmental process that enables nutrient remobilization from source to sink organs in plants. Chloroplasts serve as the primary nitrogen reservoir, and the timely degradation of their constituent proteins is essential for sustaining seed fill and crop yield. For efficient nitro...
