Non-flowering plants are arranged by major groups; angiosperms are arranged by subclass of
Cronquist (1981) and then by family. Ratios of monovinyl to divinyl protochlorophyllide for the
three greening groups are given in columns labelled DDV-LDV, DMV-LDV and DMV-LMV
Information on C 3 -C 4 photo-synthesis is from Downton (1975) (Adapted from Ionannides
et al. 1994)
14.3 Discovery of the Dark-Light Greening
Group of Plants
When the DDV-LDV, DMV-LDV, and DMV-LMV greening groups (Table 14.1 )
were first described (Carey et al. 1985 ). It was believed that the DV Pchlide a pool
that was detected in the light was a manifestation of the Functional DV Chl
Biosynthetic route in the light. Then the question arose as to whether the Pchlide
a detected in the light was the manifestation of an overly active DV Pchlide
