Greenhouse experiments in a completely randomized design were carried out to investigate the effects of nitroxin fertilizer (0, 1 and 2 li/ha) on morphological and physiological traits of Amaranthus retroflexus in 2013. The traits in the study included plant height, fresh and dry weight of shoots, roots, stem and leaf, Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, carotenoids, anthocyanin, a...

The chemical structural differences distinguishing chlorophylls in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms are either formyl substitution (chlorophyll b, d, and f) or the degree of unsaturation (8-vinyl chlorophyll a and b) of a side chain of the macrocycle compared with chlorophyll a. We conducted an investigation of the conversion of vinyl to formyl groups among naturally occurring chlorophylls. We...

The spectroscopic (visible) properties of pigment-bearing lipid and protein particles extract­ ed from milk show that: 1) chlorophylls a and b bound to separate particles can form aggregates provided their relative concentration is high enough. Neither pheophytin a nor ^-carotene, in the same conditions, form observable aggregates. 2) Chlorophylls a and b can co-aggregate when they are bound to...

In a previous paper (l), studies were made of chlorophyll degradation products frequently to be found in leaf extracts. The solation of spectroscopically pure chlorophylls a and b was then considered (2). The logical outcome of these studies is the application of the data to the determination of chlorophyll in extracts. It is complicated by the suggestion that chlorophyll as known to Willstatte...

The glycolipid, phospholipid, pigment, and fatty acid content in whole y-1 cells during the greening process have been investigated. The time course of their changes indicates that phosphatidyl glycerol and glycolipids are the main lipids synthesized specifically during illumination of dark-grown cells, concomitant with an increase in the polyunsaturated C18:2 and C18:3 fatty acids. The pigment...

Photosynthetic pigments in a warm core eddy of the East Australian Current were studied by In vjvo fluorometry, spectrophotometry and thin-layer chromatography. The Variosens i n sltu fluorometer gave only an approximate guide to the location and quantity of phytoplankton in the water column; spectrophotometric curve analysis revealed the presence of intact or detrital chlorophylls, and quantit...
