Cytokinin availability and chloroplast functional lifetime in senescing leaves
Leaf senescence is often characterized by visible yellowing, reflecting the degradation of photosynthetic pigments and the functional deterioration of photosynthetic complexes, marking a shift from photosynthetic maintenance to nutrient remobilization. Cytokinins are key modulators in this process. This review examines...
