Title: Transgenic plants with altered senescence characteristics

Patent ·
OSTI ID:874293

The identification of senescence-specific promoters from plants is described. Using information from the first senescence-specific promoter, SAG12 from Arabidopsis, other homologous promoters from another plant have been identified. Such promoters may be used to delay senescence in commercially important plants.
