Plant J 2002, 29:427-437. The hys1 mutant is isolated as an accelerated-leaf-senescence mutant. It is revealed to be allelic to the cpr5 mutant, which has a constitutive defence-response phenotype. Furthermore, this mutant is hyper-responsive to exogenously supplied sugars at the seedling stage. The HYS1 gene is cloned and found to encode a novel membrane protein.

The authors review the effects of sugars on leaf senescence from the viewpoint of photosynthesis. Their results support a hypothesis in which plants sense their own photosynthetic and nitrogen status through sugar concentration and in which sugar accumulation can accelerate leaf senescence.

Plant J 2002, 31:331-340. The delayed-leaf senescence phenotype of the ore4-1 mutant is displayed in an age-dependent manner, but is not induced by darkness or hormones. T-DNA-based cloning revealed that ORE4-1 encodes plastid ribosomal protein small subunit 17. The authors also show the decreased activity of photosystem I in ore4-1 mutants.

The ore9 mutant showed a delayed-leaf-senescence phenotype during age-, dark- and hormone-induced senescence. The ORE9 gene encodes an F-box protein and can interact with ASK1, a component of the plant SCF complex, indicating that the SCF complex has a role in leaf senescence.

Plant J 2002, 32:129-137. The delayed-leaf-senescence mutant dis1 was isolated from a T-DNA-tag line of Arabidopsis. The corresponding gene encodes R-transferase, a component of the N-end rule proteolysis pathway. A transient expression assay shows that the dis1 mutant has deficiency in N-end-rule-dependent proteolysis.

The authors used a large-scale screen of enhancer trap lines to identify 147 lines in which the expression of the reporter β-glucuronidase (GUS) is observed in senescing leaves but not in non-senescing leaves, These lines can be classified by their varying responses to hormone treatments and environmental conditions.

The authors identified an acyl hydrolase gene, SAG101, that is upregulated during senescence. Leaf senescence is delayed in transgenic plants in which SAG101 is repressed, and overexpression of this gene can lead to premature senescence. These results suggest that lipid degradation plays a regulatory role in leaf senescence.

Several signal-transduction components were identified as possible targets of AtWRKY6. One of these targets, a novel SIRK is especially active in senescing leaves.
