The Absence of Protochlorophyll(ide) Accumulation in Algae with Inhibited Chlorophyll Synthesis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Golenkinia, Chlorella protothecoides, and mutant C-2A' of Scenedesmus were grown in darkness and on media in which chlorophyll synthesis is reduced significantly. The pigments were analyzed by spectrophotometry or by paper chromatography and compared with similar extracts from light-grown algae and dark-grown beans. No protochlorophyll(ide) was present in the dark-grown algae indicating that chlorophyll synthesis is blocked by a mechanism other than feedback regulation of aminolevulinic acid synthesis by protochlorophyll(ide) which has been proposed for flowering plants.

Absence of phytochrome participation in chlorophyll synthesis in euglena.
There appear to be three phases in chlorophyll synthesis in Euglena (11). An initial, rapid conversion of a small pool of protochlorophyll(ide) to chlorophyll is followed by a short lag phase during which the protochlorophyll(ide) pool is replenished; the third phase is that of rapid and sustained chlorophyll synthesis. Since the initial pool of protochlorophyll(ide) is smaller than would be ex...
متن کاملCharacterization of the terminal stages of chlorophyll (ide) synthesis in etioplast membrane preparations.
1. Chlorophyll (ide) formation from protochlorophyll (ide) that is normally inactive was demonstrated in etioplast membranes isolated from maize and barlley plants, the process being dependent on intermittent illumination and the addition of NADPH. 2. The addition of NADPH to the membranes was shown to result in the conversion of inactive protochlorophyll (ide) absorbing at about 630 nm into a ...
متن کاملOptical properties of bud scales and protochlorophyll(ide) forms in leaf primordia of closed and opened buds.
The transmission spectra of bud scales of 14 woody species and the 77 K fluorescence emission spectra of the innermost leaf primordia of closed and opened buds of 37 woody species were studied. Pigment concentrations were determined in some species. Bud scales had low transmittance between 400 and 680 nm with a local minimum around 680 nm. Transmittance increased steeply above 680 nm and was > ...
متن کاملThe effects of tentoxin on chlorophyll synthesis and plastid structure in cucumber and cabbage.
To determine if chlorosis caused by tentoxin, a toxin produced by Alternaria tenuis Nees., is due to interference with chlorophyll synthesis directly or to disruption of normal chloroplast development, the effects of the toxin on these processes in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea L., var. capitata) were studied. Cucumber cotyledons are highly sensitive to the toxin ...
متن کاملPhotoactivation of Chlorophyll Synthesis and Cytochrome Oxidase Activity in Anaerobically Germinated Seedlings of Echinochloa crusgalli var. Oryzicola.
When seeds of Echinochloa crusgalli var. oryzicola are germinated in dark anaerobic conditions (99.995% N(2)), the seedlings do not have detectable protochlorophyll(ide). Two hours after exposure to light aerobic conditions, they begin to synthesize chlorophyll. The lag in greening is shorter in seedlings exposed to light for 24 hours before exposure to air. Seedlings maintained in light anaero...
