Abstract
The glycollate metabolism of wheat (Triticum vulgare Vill. cv. Sonalika) and rice (Oryza sativa L. ev. Jaya) leaves was studied during senescence by estimating the endogenous levels of glycollate and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and the activities of glycollate oxidase and catalase. In comparison with light incubation the incubation of excised leaves in the dark caused a decline in the glycollate content and in the activities of glycollate oxidase and catalase, and an increase in the H2O2 content, more marked in the leaves of rice than in the leaves of wheat. Glycollate oxidase activity gradually decreased with incubation time, and glycollate metabolism decreased during senescence. The glycollate oxidase in particular and glycollate metabolism of rice were more sensitive to incubation time than those of wheat. Kinetin increased the glycollate oxidase activity and glycollate metabolism during senescence, while ethrel (2-chloroethylpho-sphonic acid) and ABA (abscisic acid) reduced these activities in both plant species.
