Hormonal Regulation of Senescence

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Agricultural Biotechnology ((AABI,volume 16))

Abstract

Senecence involves deteriorative changes of mature cells which led them to death. Senescence processes can affect to different plant structures and under very different circumstances. The old and basal leaves of a plant may be senescent while the young and more apical structures are actively growing. In monocarpic senescence (Noodén and Lindoo, 1978), the entire plant senesces at the period of reproductive development. Leaf senescence preceedes to the fall leaf dead of deciduous trees. The maturation to xylem of cells derived from vascular cambium may be considered as a senescence process which is under hormonal control (Wareing and Phillips, 1978). In this last example, senescence results in the production of structures which are truly functional when dead. Fruit ripening is, in many aspect, a senescence process (Sacher, 1973). Senescence must be distinguished from aging (Beevers, 1976; Leopold, 1980). The term aging is used with different significances. Sometimes aging refers to the functional decay of perennial plants. This, in contrast with senescence, appears as the result of an accumulative process of hazardous circumstances and not as an apparently regulated and ordered process (Thomas and Stoddart, 1980).
