ABSTRACT Welwitschia mirabilis has been well noted for its two continuously grown leaves which could survive for thousands of years in the desert. Compared to great efforts on elucidation of Welwitschia's leaf adaptivity to external stresses, the regulatory mechanism of its internal leaf aging was largely unknown.

Chemical Composition and Bioactivities of the Marine Alga from Taiwan
The present study investigated the chemical composition of Isochrysis galbana Parke, a marine microalga which is widely used as a feedstock in aquaculture. From gas chromatography/mass spectrometric analysis the mono-sugar compositions of I. galbana were

Thermal alteration of organic matter in recent marine sediments. 1: Pigments [PDF]
Sediment from Tanner Basin, the outer continental shelf off Southern California, was analyzed for photosynthetic pigments and their derivatives, namely carotenes and chlorins. Samples of the sediment were also exposed to raised temperatures (65, 100, 150

HPLC/DAD Intercomparison on Phytoplankton Pigments (HIP-1, HIP-2, HIP-3 and HIP-4) [PDF]
From 2009 to 2015, in the context of the MERIS (Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer) validation activities, the JRC Marine Optical Laboratory organised four HPLC Intercomparison exercises for Phytoplankton Pigment measurements (HIP-1, HIP-2, HIP-3 and

The multidrug transporter ABCG2: still more questions than answers [PDF]
ABCG2 is one of at least three human ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters which can facilitate the export from cells of a wide range of chemically unrelated drug molecules.

Residues contributing to drug transport by ABCG2 are localised to multiple drug-binding pockets [PDF]
Multidrug binding and transport by the ATP binding cassette transporter ABCG2 is a factor in the clinical resistance to chemotherapy in leukaemia, and a contributory factor to the pharmacokinetic profiles of many other prescribed drugs.

We examined the damage to mitochondrial electron transport caused by photosensitization of a pheophorbide a derivative, DH-I-180-3, shown recently to induce necrosis of lung carcinoma cells with low dark toxicity. Confocal microscopy showed that DH-I-180-3 co-localized with dihydrorhodamine-123 suggesting that it mainly accumulates in mitochondria. The

Separation of Chlorins and Carotenoids in Capillary Electrophoresis [PDF]
The present study reports the investigation of capillary electrophoresis (CE) for the separation of the photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll derivatives as well as carotenoids) together. Various CE methods, such as micellar electrokinetic chromatography,

Calcium-dependent Catabolism of Pheophorbide a in Tomato Fruit.
Enzyme for degrading pheophorbide a (Pheid a), a chlorophyll (Chl) catabolite, was found in a crude extract prepared from tomato fruit. Application of 10mM CaCl2 strongly enhanced the enzyme activity. In the presence of EGTA, the enzyme activity was low and activation of enzyme by CaCl2 did not occur.
