Regreening of senescent Nicotiana leaves II. Redifferentiation of plastids
Mancera et al., 1999). The reappearance of chlorophyll (Chl ) correlated with the reappearance of the Chl biosynSingle senescent leaves attached to decapitated thesis enzyme, NADPH-protochlorophyllide oxidoreducshoots of Nicotiana rustica L. regreened, especially tase (POR). Development of functional thylakoid when treated with cytokinin. Regreening caused an membranes during regreening was ind...
متن کاملChlorophyll Breakdown in Senescent Leaves.
The biosynthetic pathway of Chl, probably the most important pigment in the biosphere, has been studied in considerable detail and is mentioned in plant physiology textbooks. Oddly enough, however, the breakdown of Chl is barely mentioned. Yet, as pointed out by Hendry et al. (1987), an estimated one billion tons of Chl are broken down every year, seemingly without leaving a trace. The only enz...
متن کاملLipid Transformations in Plastids of Bean Leaves and Pepper Fruits.
A few reports have appeared concerning the synthesis of plastid lipids. Stumpf and James (17) and Stumpf et al. (18) found that both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids may be formed from acetate by chloroplast preparations. However, in some bluegreen algae, Bloch et al. (4) found that long-chain monounsaturates are synthesized by oxidative desaturation of corresponding saturates. Kates (9) s...
متن کاملTwo new cysteine proteinases with specific expression patterns in mature and senescent tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) leaves.
Cysteine proteinases are involved in various physiological and developmental processes in plants. Two cDNAs from senescent and non-senescent tobacco leaves were isolated with degenerate primers designed from conserved regions of plant senescence-associated cysteine proteinases using rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). Both sequences encode papain-like cysteine proteinases: the 833 bp fragm...
متن کاملPurine metabolism in mesophyll protoplasts of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) leaves.
The overall metabolism of purines was studied in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) mesophyll protoplasts. Metabolic pathways were studied by measuring the conversion of radioactive adenine, adenosine, hypoxanthine and guanine into purine ribonucleotides, ribonucleosides, bases and nucleic acid constituents. Adenine was extensively deaminated to hypoxanthine, whereupon it was also converted into AMP a...
