N⁶-methyladenosine (m⁶A) RNA modification as a metabolic switch between plant cell survival and death in leaf senescence.

ABSTRACT: Crop losses caused by climate change and various (a)biotic stressors negatively affect agriculture and crop production. Therefore, it is vital to develop a proper understanding of the complex response(s) to (a)biotic stresses and delineate them for each crop plant as a means to enable translational research. In plants, the improvement of crop quality by m⁶A editing is believed to be a promising strategy. As a reaction to environmental changes, m⁶A modification showed a high degree of sensitivity and complexity. We investigated differences in gene medleys between dark-induced leaf senescence (DILS) and developmental leaf senescence in barley, including inter alia RNA modifications active in DILS. The identified upregulated genes in DILS include RNA methyltransfe
