Crops that stay green

TL;DR: Genetic variation exists for foliar senescence and has, usually incidentally or empirically, been exploited for crop improvement and the practical implications of improved understanding of the stay-green phenomenon are discussed.
Book

Induced Mutations in Plant Breeding

TL;DR: This book discusses methods for inducing Mutations, the selection value of Mutant Genes, and the Alteration of Seed Storage Substances under the Influence of Changed Genotypic Background or Environment.

Relation between Acid Proteinase Activity and Redistribution of Nitrogen during Grain Development in Wheat

TL;DR: There was a highly significant relation between the rate of nitrogen loss from the tissues and the rate estimated from the enzyme activity measurements, which suggests an important role for acid proteinase enzymes in leaf senescence in wheat cultivars.

Physiological Aspects of Protein Turnover

D. D. Davies
TL;DR: The idea of protein turnover was revived in the 1920's and a great deal of work on the nitrogen balance of detached leaves was interpreted in terms of the temporal separation of degradation and synthesis as mentioned in this paper.

Grain Protein Accumulation and the Relationship between Leaf Nitrate Reductase and Protease Activities during Grain

TL;DR: Results permit the tentative conclusions that redistribution of vegetative N accounted for more of the grain N in the low than in the high nitrate reductase genotypes; and leaf protease activities are more closely related to the accumulation of grain N than leaf nitrate reducesase activity.
