Abstract excerpt
Pigments, proteins and enzyme activity related to chlorophyll catabolism were analysed in senescing leaves of wild-type (WT) Lolium temulentum and compared with those of an introgression line carrying a mutant gene from stay-green (SG) Festuca pratensis. During senescence of WT leaves chlorophylls a and b were continuously catabolised to colourless products and no other derivatives were observed, whereas in SG...
