Tóm tắt

Cycloheximide, ethionine,p-fluorophenylalanine, 6-azauracil, 5-diazouracil and vanillin, applied at relatively high concentrations, retarded the yellowing of kale (Brassica oleracea L. var.acephala) leaf discs in darkness, and stimulated it in light. All the compounds inhibited protein synthesis and retarded protein breakdown. Cycloheximide,p-fluorophenylalanine, diazouracil and vanillin also inhibited the incorporation of uracil-14C into RNA of senescing discs. Abscisic acid and 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid accelerated yellowing both in darkness and in light and stimulated the protein breakdown in senescing discs. Abscisic acid inhibited the chlorophyll, protein and RNA synthesis in detached, greening cucumber cotyledons. There was no direct correlation between the activity of a given compound as an inhibitor of yellowing in darkness, and the degree of inhibition of RNA synthesis. The arrest of yellowing in darkness is possibly a consequence of the retarded rate of protein breakdown. Yellowing in light, on the contrary, is dependent on the actual rate of protein synthesis.
