Excited to share our new paper in BMC Plant Biology! 🥬
We show that strigolactone (SL) biosynthesis influences not only the progression of leaf senescence, but also how leaves respond to prolonged darkness, revealing a new layer of SL regulation of senescence.

Loss of MAX1 redirects, rather than delays, the leaf senescence program in lettuce - BMC Plant Biology
Background Strigolactones (SLs) regulate diverse aspects of plant development and have been implicated in promoting leaf senescence. However, senescence phenotypes associated with SL deficiency have n...
