Article Description

Phytohormones like IAA and kinetin inhibit chlorophyll loss during aging of wheat chloroplasts during in vivo and in vitro. GA, on the other hand, stimulates the pigment degradation during aging of attached leaves in contrast to its senescence inhibiting action in detached leaves and isolated chloroplasts. A shift in optimum concentration of hormone in inhibiting chlorophyll degradation suggests a differential pool size of endogenous hormone regulating aging of chloroplasts in vivo and in vitro. The retardation of chlorophyll loss by kinetin, IAA and GA during aging of chloroplasts in vitro would indicate that the effect of hormones in preventing yellowing of senescing leaves may be mediated through their direct action on chloroplasts. © 1980 Springer-Verlag.
