Some Major Steps in the Understanding of the Chemistry and Biochemistry of Chl - Chlorophyll Biosynthesis and Technological Applications - page 22

1.2.77 Armstrong, 1995

In 1995, Armstrong et al., demonstrated that in Arabidopsis thaliana and Barley,
two different genes PorA and PorB (with about 75 % homology) code for two
different protochlorophyllide oxidoreductases, namely POR-A and POR-B
(Armstrong et al. 1995 ).

1.2.78 Jensen, 1995

In 1995, Jensen et al., expressed the three Mg-Proto chelatase genes ( chlI , chlD ,
and chlH )in E. coli , and demonstrated that the three cognate proteins are required
for activity (Jensen et al. 1995 ).

1.2.79 Kim and Rebeiz, 1996

In 1996, Kim and Rebeiz, detected [4-vinyl] Mg-Proto reductase (4VMPR) in green
plants (Kim and Rebeiz 1996 ).

1.2.80 Abd El Mageed

In 1997, Abd El Mageed et al., discovered the LD-MV and LD-DV and LD-MV
greening groups of plants (Abd-El-Mageed et al. 1997 ).

1.2.81 Adra and Rebeiz, 1998

In 1998, Adra and Rebeiz, discovery the occurrence of transients DV Chl a and
[4-vinyl] Chl reductase (4VChlR) in plants (Adra and Rebeiz 1998 ).

1.2.82 Rebeiz, 1999

In 1999, Rebeiz et al., proposed an integrated multibranched Chl a / b biosynthetic
pathway in plants (Rebeiz et al. 1999 ).
