Genetic control of chloroplast pigment development in soybeans as a function of leaf and plant maturity.
نویسنده
چکیده
Changes in the major chloroplast pigments of pigment-deficient genotypes of soybeans were studied as a function of leaf age and plant age. The trends of pigment development are plotted as a function of relative leaf age at two periods of plant development. Comparisons are made between aging leaves from different nodes and leaves of different ages from the same node. In addition, trends of pigment development are expressed as a ratio of pigment-deficient/normal genotypes for five different genotypes and seven sampling periods. Those genotypes that exhibit a lag in production of pigments during leaf development show a similar lag in overall plant pigment development.

Potassium is a major nutrient which may play an important role in many processes such as ion homeostasis in plant cells and osmotic adjustment of guard cells during stomatal opening and closing. Pathumthani 1 (PT1) rice has been reported as being a salt sensitive cultivar and has been selected as a model plant in this study to investigate the possibility of improving the osmotic potential, pigm...

Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) germplasm, isogenic except for loci controlling male sterility (ms(1)), was utilized to study the effects of reproductive development on certain aspects of photosynthesis. Plants were sampled at various times between flowering (77 days after transplanting) and maturity (147 days after transplanting). During that period photosynthetic rates declined more rapidly in...

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...
