Identification of leaf senescence in wls5. a Wild-type (WT; ‘93–11’) and wls5 plants at the tillering stage. Bar = 10 cm. b Leaf phenotype of WT and wls5 plants. Bar = 2 cm. c Chlorophyll content of leaves in wild-type and wls5 plants. Error bars indicate SD, n = 10. **P < 0.01 (Student’s t-test). d Photosynthesis rate of leaves in wild-type and wls5 plants. Error bars indicate SD, n = 15. **P < 0.01 (Student’s t-test). e Expression of CDGs (SGR and RCCR1) (left) and other SAGs (Osh36 and Osl57) (right) in WT and wls5 plants. Error bars indicate SD, n = 3. **P < 0.01 (Student’s t-test). f Transmission electron microscopy of senescing leaves of WT and wls5 plants at seedling stage. C, chloroplast; OG, osmiophilic granule; SG, starch granule; G, grana thylakoid
