Abstract | Main conclusion: Senescence influences leaf productivity through two aspects: photosynthesis and nutrient remobilization. Through distinctively manipulating progress of leaf senescence, it is promising to improve crop yield and quality simultaneously. Crop yield and quality are two chief goals pursued in agricultural and horticultural production. The basis of crop yield is leaf photosynthesis. Senescence is the last stage of leaf development, which usually causes decreasing of leaf photosynthetic activity. Delaying leaf senescence through physiological or molecular strategies may result in higher photosynthetic activity with a longer duration, thus producing more photoassimilates for biomass accumulation. On the other side, leaf senescence always induces degradation of macromolecular nutrients (including chlorophylls and proteins), and nutritional elements in leaves are then resorbed for development of other organs. For those crops with non-leaf organs as harvested biomass, translocating nutritional elements from leaves to harvested biomass is an indispensable physiological process to increase crop yield and quality. This review summarized successful studies about effects of delaying or promoting senescence on crop yield or quality improvement. Considering the distinctiveness of various crops, manipulation of leaf senescence should be specialized during agricultural and horticultural practices. Rational regulation of leaf senescence, such as inhibiting senescence to maintain leaf photosynthesis and then promoting senescence (with appropriate onset and efficiency) to remobilize more nutrients from leaves to target organs, may ultimately improve both crop yield and quality. |
