The reduction of protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) is a key regulatory step in the biosynthesis of
chlorophyll in phototrophic organisms. Two distinct enzymes catalyze this reduction; a light …

Chlorophyll biosynthesis, crucial to life on Earth, is tightly regulated because its precursors
are phototoxic. In flowering plants, the enzyme light-dependent protochlorophyllide …

Primary Biological Aerosol Particles (PBAP) are ubiquitous in the atmosphere and recently
the measurement of their fluorescence properties, in real-time, have been used to …

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 Light-Dependent Protochlorophyllide Oxidoreductase (LPOR) catalyzes a crucial step in
chlorophyll biosynthesis: the rare biological photocatalytic reduction of the double CC bond …

In the last century, an increasing number of extreme weather events have been experienced
across the globe. These events have also been linked to changes in water quality …

Although etiolated Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings are widely used as a model to study the
de-etiolation process, the etiolation itself at the molecular level still needs elucidation. Here …

We performed for the first time experiments on laser remote sensing of the moisture content
of biological objects essential for the agricultural industry. Probing was carried out using a …

The transmission spectra of bud scales of 14 woody species and the 77 K fluorescence
emission spectra of the innermost leaf primordia of closed and opened buds of 37 woody …
