      Moschen, Sebastian; Bengoa Luoni, Sofia Ailin; Paniego, Norma Beatriz; Hopp, Horacio Esteban; Dosio, Guillermo Aníbal Adrián; Fernandez, Paula Del Carmen; Heinz, Ruth Amelia (PLOS, 2014)
      Cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), an important source of edible vegetable oil, shows rapid onset of senescence, which limits production by reducing photosynthetic capacity under specific growing conditions. ...
    • Integrating transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis to understand natural leaf senescence in sunflower 

      Moschen, Sebastian; Gonzalez, Sergio Alberto; Rivarola, Maximo Lisandro; Hopp, Horacio Esteban; Paniego, Norma Beatriz; Fernandez, Paula del Carmen; Heinz, Ruth Amelia; Bengoa Luoni, Sofia Ailin; Di Rienzo, Julio A.; Caro, María del Pilar; Tohge, Takayuki; Watanabe, Mutsumi; Hollmann, Julien; García-García, Francisco; Dopazo, Joaquín; Hoefgen, Rainer; Fernie, Alisdair R. (2016)
      Leaf senescence is a complex process, which has dramatic consequences on crop yield. In sunflower, gap between potential and actual yields reveals the economic impact of senescence. Indeed, sunflower plants are incapable ...
