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.

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.

Chlorophyll b degradation by chlorophyll b reductase under high-light conditions [PDF]
Photosynthesis Research, 2015 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.

Chlorophyll b to Chlorophyll a Conversion Precedes Chlorophyll Degradation in Hordeum vulgare L. [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999 This study reveals by in vivo deuterium labeling that in higher plants chlorophyll (Chl) b is converted to Chl a before degradation. For this purpose, de-greening of excised green primary leaves of barley (Hordeum vulgare) was induced by permanent darkness in the presence of heavy water (80 atom % (2)H).

The role of chlorophyll b in photosynthesis: Hypothesis [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2001 The physico-chemical properties of chlorophylls b and c have been known for decades. Yet the mechanisms by which these secondary chlorophylls support assembly and accumulation of light-harvesting complexes in vivo have not been resolved.Biosynthetic modifications that introduce electronegative groups on the periphery of the chlorophyll molecule ...

Plants, 2022 Zoysia japonica is a warm-season turfgrass with a good tolerance and minimal maintenance requirements. However, its use in Northern China is limited due to massive chlorophyll loss in early fall, which is the main factor affecting its distribution and ...

Spatial Variation of Leaf Chlorophyll in Northern Hemisphere Grasslands
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Chlorophyll is the molecular basis for the function of photosystems and is also a promising tool for ecological prediction. However, the large-scale patterns of chlorophyll variation in grasslands remain poorly understood.

Effect of The herbicide Pendimethalin on The Chlorophyll Content in Zea mays l. and Gossypium hirsutum l. Seedlings [PDF]
Journal of Plant Production, 2016 Foliar application of pendimethalin herbicide (5 ppm) to three weeks old seedlings of Zea mays L. and GossypiumhirsutumL. resulted in a decreasing trend of chlorophylls a an b in both seedlings compared to controls.
