Photoinduced changes in the chlorophyll a to chlorophyll B ratio in young bean plants.
An alternating light-dark system is described under which etiolated bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) leaves form selectively chlorophyll a.This system consists of cycles of 2 minutes of white light alternating with 98-minute dark periods.Etiolated tissue exposed to a series of such light-dark cycles accumulates chlorophyll a predominantly, with no lag phase in its biosynthesis. A very high ratio of ch...
متن کاملThe photosynthetic response to a shift in the chlorophyll a to chlorophyll B ratio of chlorella.
The chlorophyll a:b ratio was shifted in Chlorella vannielii by varying the illuminance under which the cells were cultured-the ratio increased from 2.9, 3.0, 4.0, and 4.8 to 6.2, respectively, at 100, 300, 900, 2,700 and 6,000 foot candles. The 6,000-foot candle cells retained an optimal growth rate at the chlorophyll a:b ratio of 6.2 which was the upper limit of normal growth. Comparisons wer...
متن کاملThe Chlorophyll Fluorescence Ratio F735/F700 as an Accurate Measure of the Chlorophyll Content in Plants
A remote sensing technique is presented to estimate the Major, 1988). The relationship F685/F735 vs. Chl was expressed by a power function F685/F735 mChl2n. For difchlorophyll content in higher plants. The ratio between chlorophyll fluorescence at 735 nm and in the range 700– ferent plant species, the coefficients m and n were different, but the common features of the relationships were 710 nm,...
متن کاملChlorophyll b to chlorophyll a conversion precedes chlorophyll degradation in Hordeum vulgare L.
This study reveals by in vivo deuterium labeling that in higher plants chlorophyll (Chl) b is converted to Chl a before degradation. For this purpose, de-greening of excised green primary leaves of barley (Hordeum vulgare) was induced by permanent darkness in the presence of heavy water (80 atom % (2)H). The resulting Chl a catabolite in the plant extract was subjected to chemical degradation b...
متن کاملChlorophyll a + b Content and Chlorophyll Fluorescence in Avocado
Tonnage (T), Simmonds (S) avocado trees, and TxS crosses were evaluated for differences in chlorophyll content and maximal quantum yield of photosystem II in sun and shade-type leaves. Total chlorophyll content by area (Chl a+bar) ranged from 984 mg m in TxS240 to 4320 mg m in Simmonds. Chlorophyll a/b ratio (Chl a/b) ranged from 9.8 to 5.5 in TxS238 and TxS243, respectively. Tonnage and Simmon...
