Abstract excerpt
A wheat stay-green mutant, tasg1, was previously generated via mutation breeding of HS2, a common wheat cultivar (Triticum aestivum L.). Compared with wild-type (WT) plants, tasg1 exhibited delayed senescence indicated by the slower degradation of chlorophyll. In this study, the stability of proteins in thylakoid membranes was evaluated in tasg1 under drought stress compared with WT plants in the field as well as...
