The relationship between the effect of exogenous 6-BA in retarding soybean leaf senescence and plasma membrane protein phosphorylation

Abstract

The plasma membrane fraction isolated from primary leaves of 14 d soybean shoot showed protein kinase (PK) and protein phosphatase (PP) activities, and these activities declined dramatically when the leaves underwent senescence-inducing treatment. 6-BA pretreatment, which showed retarding effect on soybean leaf senescence, could sustain the activities of both PKs and PPs during the senescence-inducing treatment. The results of autoradiography suggested that the main PKs whose activities declined during leaf senescence were calcium-dependent protein kinases. The potent and specific inhibitor of protein phosphatase 1 and 2A, okadaic acid, could fasten leaf senescence.
