Effect of cycloheximide on some physiological changes associated with senescence of detached flowers of Iris germanica L.

Abstract: A b s t r a c tSilverthiosulphate which is a potent inhibitor of ethylene action was fntmd to be ineffective in delaying senescence of detached flowers of h-is germanica whereas cycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor, effectively delayed the senescence of these flowers and extended the longevity to 6 days. However, this treatment resulted in suppression of bud opening. When cycloheximkte treatment was given at progressive intervals it became less effective in inhibiting bud opening and delaying senescenc… Show more

“…Upregulated expression of protease genes, raised enzymatic activity and a decline in soluble protein levels have been found to occur consistently during senescence, both in ethylene sensitive and ethyleneinsensitive flowers (Panavas et al, 1999;Eason et al, 2002;Wagstaff et al, 2002;Jones et al, 2005). Large losses in the protein levels during senescence have been reported prior to wilting in such flowers as Ipomoea, Hemerocallis and Petunia (Matile & Winkenbach, 1971;Lay-yee et al, 1992;Sultan & Farooq, 1996;Gulzar, 2003). A slight reduction in total protein content of petal tissues has been observed during senescence in flowers such as Consolida, Digitalis and potted Chrysanthemum prior to abscission suggesting that the extent of protein loss is least in species showing petal abscission rather than wilting (Stead & Moore, 1983;Williams et al, 1995;Shahri & Tahir, 2010).…”

“…Treatment of flowers with compounds that inhibit protein synthesis, have been found to delay the visible symptoms of petal senescence, revealing that active protein synthesis is required for the execution of cell death in petals (Lay-yee et al, 1992;Celikel & van Doorn, 1995;Sultan & Farooq, 1997;Wagstaff et al, 2002;Xu et al, 2007;Shahri & Tahir 2010). The ultrastructural data indicates that floral abscission too requires high protein synthesis and secretory activity of material towards cell walls of the abscission zone cells (van Doorn & Stead, 1997).…”

“…Abebie et al, 2008;Chung et al, 2008;Guirimand et al, 2012). Longer incubation times of several hours may be necessary when working with whole-plant systems where it can take time for the CHX to be delivered to the tissues of interest (Sultan and Farooq, 1997;Truitt et al, 2004). However, it is essential to develop experiments that optimize the uptake of the CHX so as to detect direct effects (if any) as quickly as possible.…”

“…Flower senescence represents the last stage of floral development and results in wilting or abscission of whole flowers or flower parts [17] . The length of the flowering period is related to many factors, including temperature, nutrition, and other external environmental factors.…”
