The pericarp of Chinese gooseberries is green due to the presence of low concentrations of
chlorophylls. On a f. wt basis there is about 1.5 times more tetrapyrollic pigments …

DISCUSSION The epiphasic nature of unsaponified carotenoids of Marsh Seedless
grapefruit indicates that the xanthophylls in the fruit are esterified. The occurrence of d …

The leaves of the Golden Saxifrage, Chrysosplenium alternifolium and Chr. oppositifolium,
are deeply green, whereas the bracts and the small leaflets of the calyx (a corolla is lacking) …

In spite of the considerable number of papers from this field of research for the majority of …

Changes in fine structure in petals of Cucumis have been followed from an early green
stage, through maturity, to a senescent dark yellow stage. The most noticable changes occur …

The abscisic acid (ABA), carotenoid, and chlorophyll composition was determined before
and after water stress for detached leaves of Valencia and Pineapple orange, Marsh …

The problem of the origin and structure of leucoplasts, chloroplasts, and chromoplasts has
occupied investigators for many years. The state in which the carotinoid pigments occur in …

Chromoplasts, which formed in Texas Red Ruby fruits soon after the chloroplasts had
disappeared, appeared as lightly-coloured droplets. As the lycopene content increased the …

The fine structure of plastids in the fruit of cherry peppers was studied during the various
stages of ripening. The color change of fruit during ripening is due to the quantitative change …

Fibrils are shown to form in Capsicum annuum fruit chromoplasts that develop from plastids
which normally contain little chlorophyll, as in the cultivar‹ Fiesta›, and from leucoplasts, as …
