Abstract

Plant senescence is a complex physiological process consequence either of the natural lifespan or externally induced by abiotic and biotic factors. It comprises a coordinated sequence of molecular and biochemical events, phenotypically illustrated by changes in plant colour. Senescence is associated with alterations in chlorophyll and pigment content, reduction of photosynthesis, hydrolysis of macromolecules to produce more simple compounds and dismantling of cell organelles, to finally produce cell death. At the end, relocation of nutrients from the senescent tissues towards sink organs or growing tissues takes place to complete a recycling process. Consequently, the major part of the nitrogen is released as ammonium after being re-assimilated into amino acids to be exported via the phloem to the developing grains, fruits and tubers. During senescence, the reprograming of thousands of genes is triggered in response to specific senescence-promoting factors under a restricted regulatory control. The actual high-throughput omics technologies have led to the generation of integrative information, which has been used to understand the physiological changes during the onset and progression of senescence. This chapter covers an overview on plant senescence, particularly focussed on the senescence of the leaf, including the most recent findings about features, signalling, regulation and pathways involved in this natural or induced process.
