Lipid transformations in greening and senescing leaf tissue.
Analyses were made of chlorophyll a and b and fatty acids (18:3, 18:2, 18:1, 18:0, 16:2, 16:1, and 16:0) of greening and senescing leaf tissue. Those dark-grown tissues given a prior treatment of red, far red, or red followed by far red light showed similar increases in chlorophylls and linolenate (18:3) when exposed to continuous white light. In contrast, green barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) leav...
متن کاملThe occurrence and nature of ornithine carbamoyltransferase in senescing apple leaf tissue.
Ornithine carbamoyltransferase (EC 2.1.3.3) activity was detected in apple (Pyrus malus L.) leaf tissue from early June to November. Total activity remained relatively constant at 4.1 mumoles citrulline produced per hour per 10 cm(2) until mid-October when it sharply doubled. Following the first frost of the autumn, the enzyme lost about 80% of its former activity. The enzyme from apple leaf ex...
متن کاملMembrane Lipids in Senescing Flower Tissue of Ipomoea tricolor.
Rib segments excised from flower buds of Ipomoea tricolor Cav. pass through the same phases of senescence as the respective tissue on the intact plant. Such segments were used to correlate changes in lipid content with known symptoms of aging, such as rolling up of the ribs and ethylene formation. It was found that the level of phospholipid had already started to decline before visible signs of...
متن کاملProtoheme turnover and chlorophyll synthesis in greening barley tissue.
Studies in which (14)C-labeled precursors were fed to etiolated barley leaves (Hordeum vulgare L. var. Proctor) yielded chlorophyll and protoheme having similar specific radioactivities. These findings indicate: (a) there appears to be a rapid turnover of protoheme in the absence of net synthesis; (b) both pigments probably originate from a single 5-aminolevulinic acid pool; (c) the efficient u...
متن کاملChanges in Lipid Composition during Greening of Etiolated Pea Seedlings.
After 7 days of germination in the dark, the three sections of pea seedlings studied (cotyledons, stems, and young leaves) are rich in linoleic acid; after illumination of the seedlings a very significant increase in linolenic acid is observed in the young leaves section, whereas only small variations are noted in the fatty acid composition of the other sections. The increase in linolenic acid ...
