Characterization of Mg-dechelating substance in senescent and pre-senescent Arabidopsis thaliana leaves

The removal of Mg2+ is an important step in the chlorophyll degradation pathway and extracts from senescent and presenescent Arabidopsis thaliana leaves were analyzed for Mg-dechelatase activity, using chlorophyllin, an artificial derivative of the natural substrate, chlorophyllide. The optimum temp...
