Abstract:

The content of auxin (IAA), cytokinin (CTK), and gibberellin (GA) and main physiological and biochemical indexes in leaves of Qiangsang 1 (late senescence) and Heyebai (early senescence) before and after application of exogenous hormones and inhibitors were determined in this study for examining the effect of growth-promoting hormones on the senescence of mulberry leaves. The results showed that the IAA, CTK and GA in Qiangsang 1 were significantly higher than those of Heyebai at the same time; the content of them were up-regulated significantly after treatment by exogenous hormones (P<0.05) and down-regulated significantly after treatment by those inhibitor (P<0.05). In addition, after treatment by exogenous hormones, the activities of CAT, POD, and SOD, and SP content and Pro content in leaves were up-regulated significantly, while MDA content was down-regulated significantly (P<0.05). The activities of CAT, POD and SOD, MDA content, SP content and Pro content in mulberry leaves changed differently due to the mulberry varieties and the types of inhibitors after treatment with inhibitors.

Key words: growth promoting hormone, mulberry, leaf, senescence
