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 andgenes encoding senescence-induced lipase are identified and the nucleotide sequences are used to modify senescence in transgenic plants.

DNA encoding a plant lipase, transgenic plants and a method for controlling senescence in plants

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.
