CLE peptides join the plant longevity club

Trends Plant Sci. 2022 Oct;27(10):961-963. doi: 10.1016/j.tplants.2022.07.001. Epub 2022 Jul 14.

Abstract

Leaf senescence, the final step of leaf development, is an essential adaptive process that involves intricate regulatory networks mediated by various developmental and environmental clues. Two recent reports, by Zhang Z. et al. and Zhang Y. et al., shed light on how CLE peptides recruit reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ethylene signaling to promote plant leaf longevity.

Keywords: CLE peptide; ROS; ethylene signaling; leaf senescence.
