Mechanism of chlorophyll-a appearance and its locality in the intensive study area of the Ariake Sea, Japan in winter seasons is clarified by using remote sensing satellite data. Through experiments with Terra and AQUA MODIS data derived chlorophyll-a concentration and truth data of chlorophyll-a concentration together with meteorological data and tidal data which are acquired for 6 years (wint...

This work represents an application of the Visible Spectrometry, High Pressure Liquid Cromatography and Electronspray Ionisation-Mass Spectrometry analysis for the identification of chlorophyll and its derivatives, pheophytin and chlorophyllide, in their purified mixtures (the chlorophyll, pheophytin and chlorophyllide fraction, respectively). The chlorophyll, pheophytin and chlorophyllide frac...

The accumulation of chlorophyll, production of two specific lamellar chlorophyll-protein complexes, onset of O(2) evolution, and detection of P700 were examined in intact Jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis [L.] D.C.) leaves treated with 10(-5)m kinetin or benzyladenine and allowed to green under low (30-35%) and high (80-85%) relative humidity. In contrast to reports of the promotion of chlorophyl...

Phytoplankton distribution changes in the Ariake Sea areas, Japan based on remote sensing satellite data is studied. Through experiments with Terra and AQUA MODIS data derived chlorophyll-a concentration and suspended solid as well as truth data of chlorophyll-a concentration together with meteorological data and tidal data which are acquired 7 months from October 2012 to April 2013, it is foun...

1. Aqueous extracts of spinach and Aspidistra leaves yield highly opalescent preparations which are not in true solution. Such extracts differ markedly from colloidal chlorophyll in their spectrum and fluorescence. The differences between the green leaf pigment and chlorophyll in organic solvents are shown to be due to combination of chlorophyll with protein in the leaf. 2. The effect of some a...

Etioplasts of 5-day-old dark-grown barley seedlings synthesize most of the soluble and membrane proteins found in chloroplasts of illuminated plants. Prominent among these proteins are the large subunit of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase and the alpha- and beta-subunits of the chloroplast ATPase. However, etioplasts do not synthesize four chloroplast-encoded proteins which are major constitue...

A stroma fraction that has photosystem 1 activity and grana lamellae fractions that have activities for both photosystems were isolated by differential centrifugation of a needle valve homogenate. Subsequent fractions, corresponding to photosystems 1 (F-1D) and 2 (F-2D) were isolated by digitonin treatment of the grana lamellae (P-10K) and compared with respect to their chlorophyll composition ...

the effect of automobile pollution was determined on chlorophyll content of four different tree species viz. azadirachta indica l., conocarpus erectus l., guiacum officinale l.and eucalyptus sp. growing along the roads of the city.  significant changes in the level of chlorophyll “a”, chlorophyll “b” and total chlorophyll “a+b” were found in the leaves of four tree species (a. indica, c. erectu...

In situ optical meters are widely used to estimate leaf chlorophyll concentration, but non-uniform chlorophyll distribution causes the opticalmeasurement to vary widely among species for the same chlorophyllconcentration. Over 30 studies have sought to quantify the in situ/in vitro (optical/absolute) relationship, but neither chlorophyll extraction normeasurement techniques for ...
