Phytohormone and Light Regulation of Chlorophyll Degradation
Degreening, due to the net loss of chlorophyll (Chl), is the most prominent symptom during the processes of leaf senescence, fruit ripening, and seed maturation. Over the last decade or so, extensive identifications of Chl catabolic genes (CCGs) have led to the revelation of the biochemical pathway of Chl degradation. As such, exploration of the regulatory mechanism of the degreening process is...
متن کاملChlorophyll Degradation.
Although the loss of green color in senescent leaves and ripening fruits is a spectacular natural phenomenon, research on chlorophyll breakdown has been largely neglected until recently. This review summarizes knowledge about the fate of chlorophyll in degreening tissues that has been gained during the past few years. Structures of end- and intermediary products of degradation as well as the bi...
متن کاملBiogenesis and light regulation of the major light harvesting chlorophyll-protein of diatoms.
The apoprotein of the major light harvesting pigment-protein complex from the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum (UTEX 646) is composed of two similar polypeptides of 17.5 and 18.0 kilodaltons (kD). The in vivo synthesis of these polypeptides is inhibited by the 80s protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide, but not by the 70s ribosome inhibitor chloramphenicol. When total poly(A)(+) RNA was used...
متن کاملA new chlorophyll degradation pathway.
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 (Hörtensteiner, 2006). The first steps in chlorophyll breakdown are the removal of the phytol tail (dephytylation) and the central Mg atom. It has been thought that dephytylation typically o...
متن کاملGenetic and Hormonal Regulation of Chlorophyll Degradation during Maturation of Seeds with Green Embryos
The embryos of some angiosperms (usually referred to as chloroembryos) contain chlorophylls during the whole period of embryogenesis. Developing embryos have photochemically active chloroplasts and are able to produce assimilates, further converted in reserve biopolymers, whereas at the late steps of embryogenesis, seeds undergo dehydration, degradation of chlorophylls, transformation of chloro...
