Apoplastic and bulk tissue concentrations of NH4+ and H+ were measured during senescence of intact (attached) and excised ryegrass (Lolium perenne) leaves differing in nitrogen and carbon status. The potential for NH3 emission from the senescing leaves was estimated on the basis of the ratio between [NH4+] and [H+], designated the Gamma-value, in apoplastic solution and bulk tissue.Attached leaves with visual symptoms of senescence showed two to three times higher [NH4+] and 0.5-1 unit lower pH in both apoplastic solution and bulk tissue extracts compared with green leaves. The Gamma-values were, in all cases, low in attached leaves, ranging from 20 to 300 in the apoplastic solution and 500-900 in the bulk tissue.In excised leaves with high nitrogen status and low C : N ratio (approximate to 10), apoplastic [NH4+] increased from around 40 muM to 2 mM after senescence in darkness for 4-9 d. Bulk tissue water [NH4+] increased in the same period to >30 mM. Apoplastic Gamma-values were in all cases
