Activation of defence-related genes during senescence: a correlation between gene expression and cellular damage.

Abstract excerpt

The correlation between activation of defence-related gene expression and plant senescence was investigated by evaluating the presence of specific transcripts in various leaves of tobacco senescing plants. Expression of most genes examined was found to be induced shortly after flowering; however, each gene had its own characteristic timing of expression and level of RNA accumulation. Studies of the symptoms...
