Chlorophyll a oxygenase (CAO) is involved in chlorophyll b formation from chlorophyll a.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 13 Oct 1998

Abstract excerpt

Chlorophyll b is an ubiquitous accessory pigment in land plants, green algae, and prochlorophytes. Its biosynthesis plays a key role in the adaptation to various light environments. We isolated six chlorophyll b-less mutants by insertional mutagenesis by using the nitrate reductase or argininosuccinate lyase genes as tags and examined the rearrangement of mutant genomes. We found that an overlapping region of a...
