Senescence is the final stage in a monocarpic plant's life cycle and is critical for plant reproduction, crop yield, and the grain protein content of its seeds.

Pollinators of all types are vital to agriculture and are responsible for reproduction of crops worth >225 billion US dollars worldwide [1].
