Abstract excerpt
The rice mutants M249 and M134 accumulate chlorophyllides a and b which are esterified with incompletely reduced alcohols such as geranylgeraniol, dihydrogeranylgeraniol, and tetrahydrogeranylgeraniol. Quantities of alpha-tocopherol, phylloquinone, and menaquinones in leaves of these mutants were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a fluorescence detector after post-column chemical...
