Because EIN2 also has roles in cell growth control and stress response, it will be interesting to investigate whether this gene can link the genetic control of leaf cell senescence with seasonal ...

The waxy cuticle surface on the outside protects the leaf and prevents excess water loss. The palisade cells at the upper side are packed with chloroplasts to maximise photosynthesis. On the lower ...
