On the Role of Ethylene in Aging

  • Conference paper
Plant Growth Regulation

Part of the book series: Proceedings in Life Sciences ((LIFE SCIENCES))

Abstract

Excised tissue of the morning glory flower (Ipomoea tricolor, Cav.) was used to determine the sequence of events leading to ethylene production and senescence. Results are presented in support of a working hypothesis according to which changes in membrane permeability lead to the terminal surge in ethylene synthesis. Ethylene generation during senescence is not regarded as the triggering mechanism for aging but as a mechanism that accelerates and integrates the aging process of a whole organ.
