Conversion of Chlorophyll b to Chlorophyll a via 7-Hydroxymethyl Chlorophyll [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1996 Chlorophyll b is synthesized from chlorophyll a by the oxidation of the methyl group on the ring B of the tetrapyrrole ring to the formyl group. Previously, we reported that chlorophyllide b could be converted to chlorophyll a in isolated cucumber etioplasts indicating the conversion of chlorophyll b to chlorophyll a.

A Bayesian approach for remote sensing of chlorophyll-a and associated retrieval uncertainty in oligotrophic and mesotrophic lakes [PDF]
, 2022 Satellite remote sensing of chlorophyll-a concentration (chla) in oligotrophic and mesotrophic lakes faces uncertainties from sources such as atmospheric correction, complex inherent optical property compositions, and imperfect algorithmic retrieval.

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 ...

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

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.

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.
