Identification of transcription factors associated with leaf senescence in tobacco.

ABSTRACT: Leaf senescence represents the final stage of leaf development, involving transcription factors (TFs)-mediated genetic reprogramming events. The timing of crop leaf senescence has a major influence on the yield and quality of crop in agricultural production. As important regulator of plant growth, the significance of TFs in the regulation of leaf senescence have been highlighted in various plant species by recent advances in genetics. However, studies on underlying molecular mechanisms are still not adequately explained. In this study, for analyzing the regulation of TFs on senescence of tobacco leaves, we combined gene differential expression analysis with weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to analyze the time-series gene expression profiles in senescing tobacco leaf.
