HCAR Is a Limitation Factor for Chlorophyll Cycle and Chlorophyll b Degradation in Chlorophyll-b-Overproducing Plants [PDF]
The chlorophyll (Chl) cycle is the metabolic pathway for Chl a and Chl b inter-conversion. In this pathway, Chl b is synthesized from Chl a by the catalyzing action of chlorophyllide a oxygenase (CAO).

Zoysia japonica Chlorophyll b Reductase Gene NOL Participates in Chlorophyll Degradation and Photosynthesis [PDF]
The degradation of chlorophyll is of great significance to plant growth. The chlorophyll b reductase NOL (NYC1-like) is in charge of catalyzing the degradation of chlorophyll b and maintaining the stability of the photosystem.

Chlorophyll <i>b</i>-An Essence of Plant Photosynthesis. [PDF]
Chlorophyll (Chl) b is crucial for assembly of the light-harvesting antennae that are required for optimal photosynthetic activity in plants and green algae. Synthesis of its precursor, chlorophyllide (Chlide) b, is catalyzed by Chlide a oxygenase (CAO), which contains a stable tyrosyl radical.

Effect of the Enhanced Production of Chlorophyll b on the Light Acclimation of Tomato. [PDF]
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum Mill.) is one of the widely cultured vegetables under protected cultivation, in which insufficient light is one of the major factors that limit its growth, yield, and quality. Chlorophyll b (Chl b) is exclusively present in the light-harvesting complex (LHC) of photosystems, while its synthesis is strictly regulated in ...

Chlorophyll b degradation by chlorophyll b reductase under high-light conditions [PDF]
The light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b binding protein complex of photosystem II (LHCII) is the main antenna complex of photosystem II (PSII). Plants change their LHCII content depending on the light environment. Under high-light conditions, the content of LHCII should decrease because over-excitation damages the photosystem.
