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 research investigate the effects of different concentrations of salt: 0, 75, 100, 150 (mm nacl) and concentration of 0.05 mm gibberellic acid and 5µm salicylic acid on the content of proline and a, b chlorophylls of canola (hayola 401 and rgs). the results showed that with increasing in the amount of salinity in both chlorophylls decreased and the amount of decrease in chlorophyll b was mo...

A valuable composition of Mentha piperita L. essential oil is menthol that is widely used fordifferent industries. The plants were treated with different concentrations of Methyl Jasmonate (MeJA) and after 24 h were evaluated for total soluble proteins, chlorophylls (a, b, and total), malondialdehyde, carbohydrates and antioxidant enzymes (Superoxide dismutase and Guaiacol peroxidase). Variance...

background & aim: the pigments inside the leaf chloroplasts receive sunlight energy and transport it to photosynthesis reaction center. the most important of these pigments is chlorophyll. in this study, the pigments existence in medicinal plant, sumac (rhus coriaria l.), was investigated at biotechnology laboratory, isfahan university of technology. experimental: experiments were performed...

as regards citrus growing in sub-tropical and tropical regions that often expose drought, in order to investigation of some citrus seedlings response to drought this research was done in factorial experiment based on randomized completely design with three replication under glasshouse conditions. first factor were five citrus rootstocks and second factor included two treatment of irrigation (op...

Illumination of 3 day old etiolated radish seedlings with continuous white light results in a progressive accumulation of chlorophyll a and b. Both pigments are bound in a different way to the thylakoid chlorophyll-proteins, which appear parallel to the formation of chlorophylls. By applying the SDS-PAGE method to SDS-digested chloroplasts, it was possible to show that the chloroplasts of radis...

Spinach is one of the highly consumed vegetable, with significant nutritional, and beneficial properties. This study revealed for the first time, the effects of high temperature frying on the carotenoids, chlorophylls, and tocopherol contents of spinach leaves. Spinach leaves were thermally processed in the sunflower oil for 15, 30, 45, and 60 min at 250°C. Reversed phase HPLC-DAD results revea...
