EVALUATION OF PLASTID PIGMENTS CONTENT IN GARDEN BEAN (PHASEOLUS VULGARIS L.) PODS

摘要

Chlorophyll -protein complexes become the building blocks of the photosynthetic apparatus. Chlorophyll is the dominant pigment in a mature Gandul-Rojas B.,. Although much of the biochemical pathways in the chloroplast do not involve chlorophyll directly, the pigment plays a key role in development of the organelle and through photosynthesis captures the energy in light to drive biosynthetic reactions. Determination of chlorophyll content is often accomplished to assess the impact of most environmental stresses, as the pigment content is linked to the visual symptoms and photosynthetic plant productivity (Gandul-Rojas et al, 2004). Pigments system formation in the chloroplasts is defined by their genome, which determined the necessity of evaluating plastid pigments contents in various garden bean accessions.
