Knowledge of the genes encoding the main proteases involved in senescence-associated degradation of chloroplast proteins and the factors controlling protein degradation remains rare in the study area notwithstanding their significance for plant production. To ensure sustainability and efficiency in the production of wheat, the mechanisms regulating senescence especially in spring wheat need to be further explored. Investigating to acquire knowledge on the senescence process in spring wheat might offer more hints about the genetic regulation of the process, which afterwards could lead to the development of tools for the breeding of varieties with improved yield, especially under harsh environments such as low nutrient input. The aim of our study was to use RNA-sequencing approach to identify the molecular pathways involved in senescence and to determine candidate transcription factors controlling these processes in the flag leaf of spring wheat as affected by nitrogen fertilization. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first transcriptome analysis of the senescence process in response to different N rates in the study area. The results of this work are presented here. We hope our results will provide persistent useful information for better understanding of all the physiological and molecular processes involved in nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and senescence to enhance genetic modifications while performing comparative transcriptomics in spring wheat in responses to N fertilization. The results specify numerous diverse functional groups of genes, comprising regulatory components that are involved in spring wheat leaf senescence.
