Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation The ester pool copied the protochlorophyllide pool in etiolated higher plants.
- Observation The ester pool contained both monovinyl and divinyl esters.
- Observation The pigments had similar emission maxima.
- Observation The pigments had distinct Soret excitation maxima at 436-437 and 443-444 nm.
- Method / resource The pigments were partly separated on polyethylene thin layers.
- Observation Two unknown fluorescent compounds accompanied the pigments.
- Observation The ester pool maintained its qualitative composition during greening.
