Wheatgrass microgreen is commonly ingested as juice, which high in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and chlorophyll. The purpose of this study was to see how different liquid fertilizers affected the growth quality, wheatgrass when planted types planting media., Factorial Randomized Block Design used study, with two factors: fertilizer treatment factor (P1 = Eco Enzyme 15ml/1L, P2 =Liquid Organic F...

The interconversion of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b, referred to as the chlorophyll cycle, plays a crucial role in the processes of greening, acclimation to light intensity, and senescence. The chlorophyll cycle consists of three reactions: the conversions of chlorophyll a to chlorophyll b by chlorophyllide a oxygenase, chlorophyll b to 7-hydroxymethyl chlorophyll a by chlorophyll b reductas...

The photosynthetic apparatus is reorganized during acclimation to various light environments. During adaptation of plants grown under a low-light to high-light environment, the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-protein complexes decompose concomitantly with an increase in the core complex of photosystem II. To study the mechanisms for reorganization of photosystems, the assembly of chlorophyll w...

From the absorption spectra and the excitation spectra of chlorophyll a fluorescence measured (4-77 °K) at different wavelengths (685-760 nm) and their comparison with the emission spectra published elsewhere 23, we confirm that both the Pigment Systems (I and II) contain chlorophyll b, chlorophyll a 670 and chlorophyll a 678. But System II is relatively enriched in chlorophyll b and System I i...

A comparision of high (330 microeinsteins per meter squared per second) and low (80 microeinsteins per meter squared per second) light grown Gonyaulax polyedra indicated a change in the distribution of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll c(2), and peridinin among detergent-soluble chlorophyll-protein complexes. Thylakoid fractions were prepared by sonication and centrifugation. Chlorophyll-protein compl...

Plants have an ability to prevent chlorophyll accumulation, which would mask the bright flower color, in their petals. In contrast, leaves contain substantial amounts of chlorophyll, as it is essential for photosynthesis. The mechanisms of organ-specific chlorophyll accumulation are unknown. To identify factors that determine the chlorophyll content in petals, we compared the expression of gene...

An Arabidopsis thaliana chlorophyll(ide) a oxygenase gene (cao), which is responsible for chlorophyll b synthesis from chlorophyll a, was introduced and expressed in a photosystem I-less strain of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. In this strain, most chlorophyll is associated with the photosystem II complex. In line with observations by Satoh et al. [Satoh, S., Ikeuchi, M., Mimuro...

This study was conducted to determine effect of water stress on chlorophyll content and chlorophyll fluorescence parameter in young `Dezful’ olive trees. Three irrigation regimes (40% ETcrop, 65% ETcrop and 100% ETcrop) were used. After irrigation treatments were applied, some of biochemical parameters including chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll, chlorophyll fluorescence and also chlorophyll ...

Chlorophyll is an indispensable constituent of the photosynthetic machinery in green organisms. Bound by apoproteins of photosystems I and II, chlorophyll performs light-harvesting and charge separation. Due to the phototoxic nature of free chlorophyll and its precursors, chlorophyll synthesis is regulated to comply with the availability of nascent chlorophyll-binding apoproteins. Conversely, t...
