A research team has reviewed the crucial role of light-dependent protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase (LPOR) in chlorophyll synthesis and chloroplast development, particularly during the dark-light ...

The research provides an in-depth look at the molecular dynamics between MdSnRK1.1 and MdGLK1, revealing a novel regulatory pathway for chlorophyll synthesis. Upon ABA treatment, MdSnRK1.1 is ...

Among photosynthetic pigments, chlorophyll is the most crucial one, which not only captures light energy from the sun but also participates in the "electron transfer chain," a molecular pathway ...

The rate-limiting step of the chlorophyll synthesis is carried out with glutamyl-tRNA reductase (GluTR) — the first enzyme of the metabolic pathway. GluTR then ensures the required quantity of 5 ...

The study focused on protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase (POR) that is responsible for making chlorophyll in plants ... reaction involved in chlorophyll synthesis. They found that light activates ...
