Expression data from Rice leaves

Senescence is a developmental process and chlorophyll is an indicator of leaf senescene. In plants cytokinin plays a role in delaying leaf senescence. Chlorophyll degradation is tightly regulated during senescence and cytokinin might interplay in the chrorophyll degradation pathway to regulate leaf greening.
