Cover caption: special issue: leaf senescence.

What controls the length of life? This fundamental question is perhaps even more complex in plants than in animals. This special issue focuses on leaf senescence, which is considered to be a model for the study of aging in plants. Regulation of leaf senescence is tightly linked to crop yield and bio-energy development.
