In plants, besides being the final step leading to the death of the whole organism, senescence has a developmental function involving the coordinated degradation of macromolecules and the mobilization of nutrients out of senescing tissues into developing parts of the plant. Free radicals are thought to play an essential role in senescence, especially those derived from oxygen. Since these molecules are extremely toxic, the levels of the different reactive oxygen species have to be tightly… Expand
