To understand the impact of water stress on the greening process, water stress was applied
to 6‐day‐old etiolated seedlings of a drought‐sensitive cultivar of rice (Oryza sativa), Pusa …

Chlorophyll biosynthesis in plants is subjected to modulation by various environmental
factors. To understand the modulation of the chlorophyll (Chl) biosynthesis during greening …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) frequently suffers in late spring from severe damage due to cold
spells, which causes the block of chlorophyll biosynthesis during early rice seedling …

Chlorophyll (Chl) synthase catalyzes esterification of chlorophyllide to complete the last step
of Chl biosynthesis. Although the Chl synthases and the corresponding genes from various …

Accurate regulation of chlorophyll synthesis is crucial for chloroplast formation during the
greening process in angiosperms. In this study, we examined the role of phytochrome B …

Temperature and light significantly influence chloroplast development and chlorophyll
biosynthesis. To understand the mechanism of the modulation of chlorophyll biosynthesis …

Photoprotection mechanisms of rice plants were studied when its seedlings were subjected
to the combined stress of water and high light. The imposition of water stress, induced by …

Photosynthesis mediated by chlorophyll metabolism is the basis for plant growth, and also
the important regulatory mechanism of carbon pool in cropland ecosystems. Soil organic …

Chloroplast development and chlorophyll metabolism have been well described in model
plants but not in perennial woody crops. Of particular interest is the interplay between light …

Sugar, a final product of photosynthesis, is reported to be involved in the defense
mechanisms of plants against abiotic stresses such as salinity, water deficiency, extreme …
