Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation In dark senescing detached kohlrabi leaves, chlorophyll b declined more than chlorophyll a.
- Intervention effect Kinetin retarded chlorophyll b loss more strongly than chlorophyll a loss.
- Observation All RNA species decreased during leaf senescence.
- Observation DNA amount remained approximately constant during leaf senescence.
- Intervention effect Kinetin inhibited RNA loss.
- Intervention effect Kinetin supported precursor incorporation into low molecular weight RNA species.
- Observation Chloroplast rRNA synthesis was not detected in mature leaves.
- Intervention effect Kinetin did not affect chloroplast rRNA synthesis in mature leaves.
- Intervention effect Kinetin strongly stimulated cytoplasmic rRNA synthesis in detached young expanding leaves in light.
- Intervention effect Kinetin inhibited chloroplast rRNA synthesis in young expanding leaves.
- Mechanism The authors suggest cytokinins primarily regulate cytoplasmic rRNA and low molecular RNA synthesis and thereby plastid senescence.
