Temperature-dependent inhibitive actions of {alpha},{alpha}'-dipyridyl and cycloheximide on the senescence of maize leaves were studied. {alpha},{alpha}'-Dipyridyl effectively inhibited the loss of chlorophyll at 25°C but not at 35°C. Gycloheximide was highly effective in preserving chlorophyll at both of 25 and 35°C. Spectral analysis of senescent leaves at 35°C in {alpha},{alpha}'-dipyridyl showed simultaneous bleaching the carotenoid and chlorophyll.
