senesce

Up to 90% of the maximum leaf N and P, 70% of the K, but none of the Ca may be translocated out of senescing leaves before abscission.

In other words, metamorphosis requires that a new system begin developing within the senescing system, the former using the latter to fuel its own growth.

Respiration rate is accelerated by ethylene production in the senescing tissues.

On the interpretation of optical spectra of senescing leaves (Acer platanoides L.).

With the majority of this region's timberland in private ownership and wood markets in decline, the threat that substantial quantities of high value hardwood timber either senescing or lost to mortality is a real concern.

bicolorata larvae "double-dip" by subsequently feeding on an outflowing of nutrients from senescing leaves and/or galls (White, 2010) this species is unlikely to be a suitable animal with which to test the stress hypothesis.

The role of adaptive enzymes in carbohydrates oxidation by stressed and senescing plant tissues.

In species that show wilting of the perianth, an important function of senescence may be to allow remobilization of key metabolites from the senescing organs back into the plant.

KPT is senescing. The productivity of loading and unloading of cargo there is fast declining and thus creating bunching of vessels.

Topdressed fertiliser, manure deposition and senescing plant material commonly leads to an accumulation of nutrients at the surface of pasture soils.

Instead of continuous nitrogen feedback among senescing plants, their soils and new growth, nitrogen is mineralized and accumulates in soils during the dry summer and fall months (Hart et al.

Known as "virus-induced gene silencing," or VIGS, this technique allows scientists to determine the function of genes in senescing plants.

One of the ways it does so is by adding organic matter to the soil over time--through leaves and shoots growing, senescing and then falling to the vineyard floor, and through roots growing and senescing.

N and P resorption proficiency were determined from senescing leaves in 11 dominant tree species.
