Some Major Steps in the Understanding of the Chemistry and Biochemistry of Chl - Chlorophyll Biosynthesis and Technological Applications - page 18

1.2.54 McCarthy, 1981
In 1981, McCarthy et al., described the detection of a fully esterified Mpe pool in
etiolated higher plants treated with ALA and 2,2 0 -dipyridyl (McCarthy et al. 1981 ).
1.2.55 Rebeiz, 1981
In 1981, Rebeiz et al., proposed a 4-branched Chl a biosynthetic pathway on the
basis of the experimental evidence available at that time (Rebeiz et al. 1981 ).
1.2.56 Santel and Apel, 1981
In 1981, Santel and Apel, demonstrated that during greening of etiolated tissues a
rapid decline of POR-A is observed. After 6 h of continuous illumination, when the
rate of Chl a accumulation is at its peak, only traces of the POR-A protein
were detected (Santel and Apel 1981 ).
1.2.57 Bazzaz, 1981
In 1981, Bazzaz, described a lethal maize mutant Nec 2, (ex-ON 2) which
accumulates only DV Chl a and b .
1.2.58 Belanger and Rebeiz
In 1982, Belanger and Rebeiz, detected the occurrence of MV Mg-Proto, MV Mpe
and MV Mpe diester in higher plants (Belanger and Rebeiz 1982 ).
1.2.59 Belanger
In 1982, Belanger et al., ascertained the chemical structure of DV Chlide
a (Belanger et al. 1982 ).
