Chlorophyll, essential for photosynthesis, is composed of a chlorin ring and a
geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP)–derived isoprenoid, which are generated by the …

This review summarizes contemporary data on structure and function of photoactive pigment—
enzyme complexes of the chlorophyll precursor that undergoes photochemical …

The photosynthetic apparatus accomplishes two major functions in plants—solar energy
conversion and protection of the plant from photodestruction. Its highly orchestrated …

Monitoring the effectiveness of Miscanthus sacchariflorus to meet the basic requirements for
environmental remediation projects is an important step in determining its use as a …

Reducing protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) to chlorophyllide (Chlide) is a major regulatory step
in the chlorophyll biosynthesis pathway. This reaction is catalyzed by light-dependent …

The proteome of the etioplast inner membranes (EPIM) of dark‐grown wheat leaves
(Triticum aestivum L.) was mapped as an essential part of studies on plastid differentiation …

The effect of leaf developmental age on the protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) spectral forms and
the expression of messenger RNA (mRNA) encoding NADPH‐protochlorophyllide …

Etiolated leaves of three different species, maize, wheat, and pea, as well as a pea mutant
(lip1) were used to compare the excitation spectra of protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) in the red …

This review covers studies on the dependence of chlorophyll photobiosynthesis reactions
from protochlorophyllide on the spectral composition of actinic light. A general scheme of the …

This study summarized recent results on POR and plastid development in order to find an
explanation for the existence of Pchlide spectral forms. This review has summarized many …
