Changes in the level of carbonylated proteins during the life of a tree. a The progression of plant ageing. The highest level of the proteins marked with CO groups is achieved at last part of life-span (internal and external symptoms of tissues senescence). b Seasonal, environmental-dependent changes. Leaf senescence is not linked to ageing of the whole plant organism (the leafless tree) and is accompanied by an increase of carbonylated proteins level. The lowest content of oxidized proteins is achieved before the production of the offspring (the blooming tree)
