Molecular genetic control of leaf lifespan in plants - A review
Leaf senescence constitutes the last stage of leaf development in plants and proceeds through a highly regulated program in order to redistribution of micro- and macro-nutrients from the senescing leaves to the developing/growing plant organs. Initiation and progression of leaf senescence is accompanied by massive sequential alterations at various levels of leaf biology including leaf morpholog...
متن کاملThe leaf index: heteroblasty, natural variation, and the genetic control of polar processes of leaf expansion.
The morphology of the leaves of angiosperms exhibits remarkable diversity. One of the factors showing the greatest variability is the leaf index, namely, the ratio of leaf length to leaf width. In some cases, different varieties of a single species or closely related species can be distinguished by differences in leaf index. To some extent, the leaf index reflects the morphological adaptation o...
متن کاملGenetic variation in Arabidopsis thaliana for night-time leaf conductance.
Night-time leaf conductance (g(night)) and transpiration may have several adaptive benefits related to plant water, nutrient and carbon relations. Little is known, however, about genetic variation in g(night) and whether this variation correlates with other gas exchange traits related to water use and/or native habitat climate. We investigated g(night) in 12 natural accessions and three near is...
متن کاملGenetic Control of Flowering Time in Arabidopsis.
The timing of the transition from vegetative to reproductive development is of great fundamental and applied interest but is still poorly understood. Recently, molecular-genetic approaches have been used to dissect this process in Arabidopsis. The genetic variation present among a large number of mutants with an early- or late-flowering phenotype, affecting the control of both environmental and...
متن کاملGenetic interactions between leaf polarity-controlling genes and ASYMMETRIC LEAVES1 and 2 in Arabidopsis leaf patterning.
During leaf development, establishment of adaxial-abaxial polarity is essential for normal leaf morphogenesis. This process is known to be strictly regulated by several putative transcription factors, microRNA165/166 (miR165/166), a trans-acting short-interfering RNA (tasiR-ARF), as well as proteins involved in RNA silencing. Among the putative transcription factor genes, ASYMMETRIC LEAVES1 and...
