Inclusion of seasonal variation in river system microbial communities and phototroph activity increases environmental relevance of laboratory chemical persistence tests [PDF]
, 2020 Regulatory tests assess crop protection product environmental fate and toxicity before approval for commercial use. Although globally applied laboratory tests can assess biodegradation, they lack environmental complexity.

Pteridines, 2023 The degradation of the green plant pigment chlorophyll has fascinated chemists and biologists alike over the last few decades. Bioactivities of the compounds formed in this biochemical degradation pathway, however, have only come to light recently. These

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.

EIN3 and ORE1 Accelerate Degreening during Ethylene-Mediated Leaf Senescence by Directly Activating Chlorophyll Catabolic Genes in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2015 Degreening, caused by chlorophyll degradation, is the most obvious symptom of senescing leaves. Chlorophyll degradation can be triggered by endogenous and environmental cues, and ethylene is one of the major inducers.

A starch edible surface coating delays banana fruit ripening [PDF]
, 2019 A rice starch edible coating blended with sucrose esters was developed for controlling the postharvest physiological activity of Cavendish banana to extend postharvest quality during ripening at 20 ± 2 °C.

THE DEGRADATION OF CHLOROPHYLL — A BIOLOGICAL ENIGMA [PDF]
New Phytologist, 1987 SummarySome 109tonnes of chlorophyll are destroyed each year on land and in the oceans. The fate of these chlorophylls is, however, largely unknown. This review describes the developmental stages at which chlorophyll breakdown occurs in aquatic and terrestrial biological systems, and the destruction arising from herbivory, disease, pollution and other ...

Characteristics of C-4 photosynthesis in stems and petioles of C-3 flowering plants [PDF]
, 2002 Most plants are known as C-3 plants because the first product of photosynthetic CO2 fixation is a three-carbon compound. C-4 plants, which use an alternative pathway in which the first product is a four-carbon compound, have evolved independently many ...

A New Chlorophyll Degradation Pathway [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2009 Chlorophyll degradation is vital during leaf senescence and fruit ripening, as it allows for recycling of nitrogen and other nutrients and for protection from buildup of phototoxic chlorophyll intermediates ([Hortensteiner, 2006][1]).
