Leaf Senescence Regulation Mechanism Based on Comparative Transcriptome Analysis in Foxtail Millet.

ABSTRACT: Leaf senescence, a pivotal process in plants, directly influences both crop yield and nutritional quality. Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is a C₄ model crop renowned for its exceptional nutritional value and stress tolerance characteristics. However, there is a lack of research on the identification of senescence-associated genes (SAGs) and the underlying molecular regulatory mechanisms governing this process. In this study, a dark-induced senescence (DIS) experimental system was applied to investigate the extensive physiological and transcriptomic changes in two foxtail millet varieties with different degrees of leaf senescence. The physiological and biochemical indices revealed that the light senescence (LS) variety exhibited a delayed senescence phenotype, whe
