Sucrose Synthase in Legume Nodules Is Essential for Nitrogen Fixation
TL;DR: The role of sucrose synthase in the fixation of N was examined in the rug4 mutant of pea (Pisum sativum L.) plants in which SS activity was severely reduced, and the mutant plants were not viable and appeared to be incapable of effective N fixation, although nodule formation was essentially normal.

TL;DR: A key gene involved in plant senescence, mutations of which partially disable chlorophyll catabolism and confer stay-green leaf and cotyledon phenotypes, has been identified in Pisum sativum, Arabidopsis thaliana, and Festuca pratensis by using classical and molecular genetics and comparative genomics.

Stress-Induced Declines in Soybean N2 Fixation Are Related to Nodule Sucrose Synthase Activity
TL;DR: It is proposed that N2 fixation in soybean nodules is mediated by both the oxygen-diffusion barrier and the potential to metabolize sucrose via SS, and the response to environmental perturbation may involve down-regulation of the nodule SS gene.

TL;DR: It is concluded that disruption of LHCs, possibly influenced by SGR, and absence of PaO produce phototoxic chlorophyll catabolites and oxidative stress leading to the HR.

Modification of nitrogen remobilization, grain fill and leaf senescence in maize (Zea mays) by transposon insertional mutagenesis in a protease gene.
Iain Donnison,Howard Thomas,Keith J. Edwards,David Edwards,C.L. James,Ann Thomas,Helen J. Ougham +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded, on the basis of transposon mutagenesis, that See2beta has an important role in N-use and resource allocation under N-limited conditions, and a minor but significant function in the later stages of senescence.
