Competency of alpha-D-glucopyranosyl Regulates Cells Death and Functions in Senescence Inhibition

Abstract

Senescence is a key process determining the life interval of several cut flowers and sugars added to the nutrient are known to increase vase life in several flowers, very little is known about endogenous variations in glucopyranosyl levels in several floral tissues, predominantly beyond petals, during natural flower development. In present study, we had evaluated the glucopyranosyl efficiency at different concentrations and different time intervals. We had found that the efficiency of glucopyranosyl slightly affect the senescence approaches and played a significant role in inhibition of senescence. Furthermore, it also played a key role on increasing the cells size and enlargement of cells at growing stages of petals. Further we had randomly investigated the content of sucrose in treated petals and control. Interestingly we had found increasing amount of sucrose in treated petals compare to that of untreated. Sucrose contents increased with flower development reaching 50% to 74% higher levels at later stage compared to that of early stagein excised petals.
