Some Factors Influencing Tobacco Leaf Senescence

Abstract: Tobacco leaf disks were subjected to various types of lighting and chemical solutions to determine the interaction of these factors in leaf senescence. Far-red light promoted senescence more than light of lower wave-lengths. Magnesium at 50 mM was a potent inhibitor of senescence, whereas EDTA-disodium salt at 50 mM promoted senescence in the light but retarded senescence in the dark. Additional work with the effect of ethylene on detached leaves demonstrated that hydrolytic enzyme activity for amylase, peptid… Show more

“…The optimal stage for leaf protein extraction is often thought to occur when the protein concentration curve reaches its maximum point. As the plants mature, however, degradative processes in the leaves begin to predominate with substantial increases in protease activity (7). As a consequence, the computation of biomass yield in conjunction with protein extractability at an assumed optimal stage of development does not always project an accurate assessment of protein productivity [e.g.…”

“…Ο γηρασµός (senescence) του φύλλου είναι το τελευταίο στάδιο της ανάπτυξης, ακολουθεί τη φυσιολογική ωρίµανση και προηγείται του θανάτου, διακρίνεται οπτικά από τη διάσπαση της χλωροφύλλης και των καροτενοειδών χρωστικών του φύλλου (De Jong και Woodlief, 1979), ωστόσο, µέχρι το κιτρίνισµα του φύλλου έχει περατωθεί η πλειονότητα των διεργασιών του γηρασµού, όπως µείωση της φωτοσυνθετικής δραστηριότητας και των πρωτεϊνών (Yoshida, 2003;Benbella και Paulsen, 1998).
