a Treatment of sink-removal experiments, with representative GS and OW cohorts. Sink refers to new leaves and flowering stalks, respectively. Responses of leaf longevity in the GS (b) and OW (c) sink-removal experiments. A number of upregulated, downregulated, and bidirectionally-regulated DEGs in the OW (total DEGs, d; senescence-related DEGs, e) and GS (total DEGs, f) self-shading experiments. We designated higher expression in the senescence-enhancing treatment (i.e., sink + ) as upregulation. g Ratio of senescence-related DEGs (figures = numbers) for nine categories. Heat maps showing the time-series of gene expression under the sink+ (+) and sink- (−) treatments in the GS and OW cohorts. Genes listed are the same as h–o in Fig. 3. For other diagram details check the legend of Fig. 3. All statistics are two-sided. The multiplicity of the tests is corrected by the Bonferroni method (g–o). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
