a in DMV-LDV-LDMV Plants via Route 13, During the
Light Phase of the Photoperiod
DV Chlide
a
is formed via route 13 by photoconversion of DV Pchlide
a
in light-
grown DMV-LDV-LDMV plant species during the light phases of the photoperiod.
The reaction is probably catalyzed by POR-A. Biosynthetic route 13 is active in
greening DDV-LDV-LDDV plants during the first few light phases of the photope-
riod when Pchlide a accumulation is substantial (Cohen and Rebeiz
1978
)(Fig.
9.4
).
