Abstract
Studies related to senescence, which is an important developmental process in plants and leads to death of a cell, tissue or whole plant, is based on the end of the 1800s. The preliminary studies were at observational level but they were replaced by comprehensive biotechnological research in conjunction with the development of technology and genetic science. The scientists in various part of the world have carried out experiments related to elucidation of the genetic mechanism of senescence. Leaf senescence is one of the most studied types occurred in leaf and characterized by loss of chlorophyll. Elucidation of the mechanism of senescence will provide great economic benefits in improving product quality and extending the shelf life of vegetables such as parsley, broccoli, spinach and fruit such as tomato, apple and ornamental plants such as carnation, alstroemeria, petunia. In this review, regulatory mechanisms of leaf senescence were discussed.
