Delayed wheat flag leaf senescence due to removal of spikelets is associated with increased activities of leaf antioxidant enzymes, reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione ratio and oxidative damage to mitochondrial proteins
Removal of reproductive 'sink' i.e. spikelets from wheat at anthesis delays the rate of flag leaf senescence. In this work, the antioxidant defense was studied in the flag leaf of Triticum aestivum cv. Kalyansona plants showing normal (S + plants) and delayed senescence via removal of spik...
