Physiological and molecular analysis of leaf growth and senescence. (A) Phenotypic analysis of leaf growth and senescence in M3 leaves at 10 d, 15 d, 21 d, 28 d, 35 d and 42 d after sowing. (B) Chlorophyll content (chla, chlb and total chlorophyll (chl-ab) in M3 leaf at 10 d, 15 d, 21 d, 28 d, 35 d and 42 d. Data represent mean values (±SD; n = 4), and were analyzed using one-way ANOVA LSD test (p < 0.05). Bars with different letters are statistically different from each other. (C) Expression analysis of photosynthesis-associated gene (PhAG, RBCS) at 21 d, 28 d, 35 d and 42 d. (D) Expression analysis of senescence-associated genes (SAGs, NYE-1 and PaO) at 21 d, 28 d, 35 d and 42 d. Data in (C) and (D) represent mean values (±SD; n = 4) and were analyzed using Student’s t-test (NS; not significant, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001) against 21 d time point.
