Simultaneous determination of protoporphyrin IX and magnesium protoporphyrin IX in Arabidopsis thaliana and Camellia sinensis using UPLC-MS/MS

Abstract Backgrounds Insertion of Mg2+ into protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) to produce magnesium-protoporphyrin IX (Mg-PPIX) was the first step toward chlorophyll biosynthesis, which not only imparts plants green pigmentation but underpins photosynthesis. Plants that blocked the conversion of PPIX to Mg-PP...
