Vertical distributions of chlorophyll in deep, warm monomictic lakes [PDF]
, 2010 The factors affecting vertical distributions of chlorophyll fluorescence were examined in four temperate, warm monomictic lakes. Each of the lakes (maximum depth >80 m) was sampled over 2 years at intervals from monthly to seasonal.

Changes in the nutritional composition of okra fruit and seed during early development
Annals of Tropical Research, 2021 This study investigated the changes in nutrient content of the fruit and seed of Okra or Lady Finger during development and maturation. Okra flowers were tagged at flower opening or anthesis.

Cloning and characterisation of chlorophyll synthase from Avena sativa [PDF]
, 2001 The chlorophyll synthase gene from oat (Avena sativa) was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The deduced amino acid sequence consists of 378 amino acids including a presequence, of 46 amino acids.

The derivation of the formyl-group oxygen of chlorophyll b in higher plants from molecular oxygen. [PDF]
, 1994 The mechanism of formation of the formyl group of chlorophyll b has long been obscure but, in this paper, the origin of the 7-formyl-group oxygen of chlorophyll b in higher plants was determined by greening etiolated maize leaves, excised from dark-grown

REACTIVITY OF CHLOROPHYLL a/b-PROTEINS AND MICELLAR TRITON X-100 COMPLEXES OF CHLOROPHYLLS a OR b WITH BOROHYDRIDE [PDF]
, 1989 The reaction of several plant chlorophyll-protein complexes with NaBH4 has been studied by absorption spectroscopy. In all the complexes studied, chlorophyll b is more reactive than Chi a, due to preferential reaction of its formyl substituent at C-7 ...

Chlorophyll and Chlorophyll Catabolite Analysis by HPLC [PDF]
, 2018 The most obvious event of leaf senescence is the loss of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll degradation proceeds in a well-characterized pathway that, although being common to higher plants, yields a species-specific set of chlorophyll catabolites, termed phyllobilins.

Conversion of Chlorophyll b to Chlorophyll a and the Assembly of Chlorophyll with Apoproteins by Isolated Chloroplasts [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1997 Abstract The photosynthetic apparatus is reorganized during acclimation to various light environments. During adaptation of plants grown under a low-light to high-light environment, the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-protein complexes decompose concomitantly with an increase in the core complex of photosystem II.
