Abstract
As a major intracellular degradation pathway, autophagy contributes to nutrient recycling and is indispensable during plant senescence. Here we describe methods used for investigating the autophagic process during leaf senescence. These include transcript analysis of core machinery autophagy genes, immunoblotting of ATG8, and microscopic observation of autophagosome formation.Entities:
