Leaves throughout senescence. General characterization of Arabidopsis thaliana leaves throughout four stages of senescence: Dark Green (DG), Green (G), Light Green (LG) and Yellow (Y). (a) Chlorophyll content (p < 0.05, n = 6). 100% = 131.18 nmol chl/cm2. (b) Protein levels (p < 0.05, n = 3). 100% = 3.56 μg/mm2. (c) PSII photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm), measured by pulse‐amplitude modulated fluorometry (p < 0.05, n = 4). 100% = 0.76. The data represent mean values, bars shown indicate standard error and letters indicate statistical significance using Tukey‐Kramer HSD test
