Leaf senescence is a highly regulated developmental process, during which cell constituents are dismantled in an ordered progression. The final death phase of senescence is a type of programmed cell death (PCD). We showed DNA fragmentation characteristic for PCD by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labelling (TUNEL) assay not only in senescing leaves but also in young, still developing tobacco leaves.
叶片衰老 是一个受到高度调控的发育过程,在此过程中细胞成分按有序进程被分解。衰老的最终死亡阶段是一种程序性细胞死亡(PCD)。我们通过末端脱氧核苷酸转移酶介导的dUTP缺口末端标记(TUNEL)分析表明,不仅在衰老叶片中,而且在仍处于发育阶段的幼嫩烟草叶片中,都存在PCD特有的DNA片段化现象。
