Abstract

Abstract: The objectives of this study were to test the effects of exogenous melatonin on apple ( Malus domestica Borkh. cv. Golden Delicious) leaves and investigate its possible physiological role in delaying leaf senescence. Detached leaves treated with 10 m m melatonin solutions clearly showed a slowing in their process of dark‐induced senescence, as evidenced by both biochemical and molecular parameters. Melatonin delayed the normal reduction in chlorophyll content and maximum potential photosystem II efficiency ( F v / F m ). It also suppressed the transcript levels of a key chlorophyll degradation gene, pheide a oxygenase ( PAO ), and the senescence‐associated gene 12 ( SAG12 ). This outcome was thought to be because of the enhanced antioxidant capabilities of melatonin. Indeed, H 2 O 2 accumulation was inhibited by exogenous melatonin, which might have resulted from direct reactive oxygen species scavenging by melatonin and a great enhancement of ascorbate peroxidase (APX; EC 1.11.1.11 ), which acted on both mRNA and protein activity levels. Melatonin treatment led to the maintenance of higher contents of ascorbic acid (AsA) and glutathione (GSH) but less dehydroascorbate (DHA) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) compared with the control, possibly through its regulation of the AsA–GSH cycle.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
