Some Major Steps in the Understanding of the Chemistry and Biochemistry of Chl - Chlorophyll Biosynthesis and Technological Applications - page 19

1.2.60 Duggan and Rebeiz, 1982a
In 1982, Duggan and Rebeiz, described the induction of massive accumulation of
DV Chlide a in greening tissues (Duggan and Rebeiz 1982a ).
1.2.61 Duggan and Rebeiz, 1982b
In 1982, Duggan and Rebeiz, also detected [4-vinyl] chlorophyllide a reductase
(4VCR) activity in higher plants (Duggan and Rebeiz 1982b ).
1.2.62 Duggan and Rebeiz, 1982c
In 1982, Duggan and Rebeiz, also detected the occurrence of Chlide b in higher
plants (Duggan and Rebeiz 1982c ).
1.2.63 McCarthy, 1982
In 1982, McCarthy et al., demonstrated that Pchlide a and Pchlide a phytyl ester are
formed via two distinct biosynthetic routes in higher plants (McCarthy et al. 1982 ).
1.2.64 Rebeiz, 1983
In1983, Rebeiz et al., proposed a 6-branched Chl a biosynthetic pathway on the
basis of the experimental evidence available at that time (Rebeiz et al. 1983 ).
1.2.65 Wu and Rebeiz, 1984
In 1984, Wu and Rebeiz, ascertained the chemical structure of DV Pchlide a , and
DV Chlide a , by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
