Abstract

Regulation of expression of senescence in plants is achieved by integration of a gene or gene fragment encoding senescence-induced lipase into the plant genome in antisense orientation. The carnation and Arabidopsis genes encoding senescence-induced lipase are identified and the nucleotide sequences are used to modify senescence in transgenic plants.

Claims (2)

1. An isolated senescence-induced lipase encoded by a nucleotide sequence which has at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1, and wherein the nucleotide sequence encodes an amino acid sequence that has senescence-induced lipase activity of SEQ ID NO: 2.

2. The senescence-induced lipase of claim 1 wherein the lipase has the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 2.
