Role of Environment Stress Leaf Senescence and Crop Productivity

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Augmenting Crop Productivity in Stress Environment

Abstract

Senescence is known to be an ending event of leaf development that is represented by the formative age and impacted by the various environmental stress conditions. Leaf senescence is a factor that limits the shelf life of foliar vegetables starting most quickly in the outer, physiologically older leaves. Its adverse effects limited not only on crops productivity during harvesting but also on vegetable crops and ornamental plants after harvest decreases the quality of the crops during storage, transportation, and on the shelves; several nutrients in senescing leaves are degraded. Postharvest storage is an important aspect of plant senescence, and controlling the time of ripening and improving the shelf life of postharvest vegetables could be accomplished by regulating the key genes of senescence. Substantial development in the physiological and molecular understanding of senescence has made it probable to develop strategies to manipulate senescence for agricultural improvement to prolong the storing and shelf-life of several leafy vegetables and ornamental plants.
