Senescent plant

This chapter brings together information concerning structural features, spectral characteristics, distributions, and functions of major chlorophylls in photosynthetic organisms. Other topics discussed include biosynthesis and degradation in senescent plants and ripening fruits and potential biological properties of chlorophylls. [Pg.26]

When Winter senescent plant material was harvested and extracted, yields of OFAs were greatly reduced. OFAs from the four ponds were extracted easily from 20-50 liters of pond water by passing the water through a tube filled with ODS silica. These ponds produced between 1 and 1.5 ppm of OFAs after elution with methyl formate. The origin of I, Ila and lib in these ponds is uncertain at this time. [Pg.398]

Saprophytic, dark pigmented fungi such as Alternaria spp. can infect a wide range of plant species, especially tissues that are exposed to other biotic or abiotic stressors and older and senescing plant tissues. Also, wet weather conditions favour attack by Alternaria spp. Inoculum of Alternaria and potentially production of altemariol is further enhanced when cereal straw and stubble is left on the soil surface and not sufficiently incorporated into the soil after harvest (direct seeding and minimum tillage systems). [Pg.364]

With the authentic red tetrapyrrolic RCC (11) available as a reference material from the synthetic work (76), an identical red compound was detected in senescent plant material and was identified as an elusive red chlorophyll catabolite, when Pheo a (5a) was incubated with aerated extracts of washed membranes of senescent Canola chloroplasts (see Scheme 8) (68, 69). In addition, incubation of chemically pre-... [Pg.16]

Ethylene is unique in that it is found only in the gaseous form. It induces ripening, causes leaves to droop (epinasty) and drop (abscission), and promotes senescence. Plants often increase ethylene production in response to stress, and ethylene often is found in high concentrations within cells at the end of a plant s life. The increased ethylene in leaf tissue in the fall is part of the reason leaves fall off trees. Ethylene also is used to ripen fruits (e.g., green bananas). [Pg.236]

In senescent plant tissues, e.g., leaves, large amounts of chlorophyll are degraded to compounds of primary metabolism. [Pg.302]

Presumably the most studied essential oil plant is peppermint (M. piperita L.). Already in the 1950s Lemli (1955) stated that the proportion of menthol to menthone in peppermint leaves changes in the course of the development toward higher menthol contents. Lawrence (2007) has just recently shown that from immature plants via mature to senescent plants the content of menthol increases... [Pg.72]

Presumably the most studied essential oil plant is peppermint (Mentha x piperita L.). Already in the 1950s Lemli (1955) stated that the proportion of menthol to menthone in peppermint leaves changes in the course of the development toward higher menthol contents. Lawrence (2007) has just recently shown that from immature plants via mature to senescent plants the content of menthol increases (34.8-39.9 8.2%) and correspondingly the menthone content decreases dramatically (26.8-17.4-4.7%). At the same time, also an increase of menthyl acetate from 8.5% to 23.3% of the oil could be observed. At full flowering, the peppermint herb oil contains only 36.8% menthol but 21.8% menthone, 7.7% menthofuran, and almost 3% pulegone due to the fact that the flower oils are richer in... [Pg.68]

In green coconut water, between pH 5.5 and 6.0, and at 25°C and 35°C, optimum activities of polyphenoloxydase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) are observed. PPO is an enzyme that is found in chloroplasts, plastids and is also present in the cytoplasm of the ripened senescing plants. It helps the plant to resist microbial infections and extreme climatic conditions. The ratio of these enzymes (PPO/POD) in coconut water ranges from 0.2 to 16.7 and varies even within similar coconut varieties. This ratio depends on the stage of maturity at harvest, the variety and storage condition of the fruit, the cultivation conditions and on the mode of extraction of the coconut water. [Pg.148]
