摘要
The life cycle of many plants,including our most important crops,is short,with weeks to months between germination and death.Monocarpic plants flower only once,with seed/grain filling dependent on nutrient remobilization from senescing parental plants.A mature crop stand,such as a harvest-ready wheat field,is the result of mass suicide,with only the seeds/grains as living entities.
