Senescence Analysis
Overview
Senescence analysis quantifies the spatial and temporal progression of tissue aging—chlorosis, necrosis, and nutrient remobilization—critical for studies on crop maturity, stay-green traits, and post-stress recovery.
1. Screening stay-green phenotypes in breeding programs
2.Quantifying stress-induced premature senescence (drought, heat)
3. Assessing senescence timing relative to yield formation
4. Studying nutrient remobilization efficiency in cereals
5. Evaluating post-harvest or post-stress recovery dynamics
Recommended Solutions

Gantry-Based Phenotyping Platform
- Canopy-level monitoring of senescence progression across larger plant populations
- Multi-angle or multi-timepoint assessment capturing spatial heterogeneity of senescence
- Suitable for genotype × environment analysis of senescence timing and duration
