Abstract: The effect of CO2 on protein degradation in leaf was studied with detached parsley leaves. The study showed that the increase of free amino acids and the decrease of soluble protein in the leaves was markedly prehibited by CO2. This result is significant for further understanding the mechanism of delaying senescence of leaves by CO2 protein degradation on leaves.
