Abstract: | Using spectral methods, the biosynthesis of protochlorophyll(ide) and chlorophyll(ide) in green plant leaves was studied. The main chlorophyll precursors in the green leaves (as in etiolated leaves) were photoactive photocholorophyll(ide) forms Pchl(ide)655/650(448) and Pchl(ide)653/648(440). The contributions into Chl biosynthesis of the shorter-wavelength precursor forms ,which were accumulated in darkened green leaves as well, were completely absent (of Pchl(ide) 633/628(440)) or insignificant (of Pchl(ide)642/635(444)). |
