Abstract:
      Two different buckwheat genotypes were used to study characteristics of the leaf senescence at flower-set caulis nodes from flowering to maturing under field conditions. A significant difference of senescence progresses between two genotypes was showed as: compared to Xinong9920 (Common buckwheat), Xinong9976 (Tartary buckwheat) has a slower reduction in the content of chlorophyll and soluble protein, and also in the activities of SOD and CAT, while a slower increasing MDA's content; These variations in leaf result in prolonging the function durations, delaying senescence,and contribute to accumulation of photosynthetic products.
