Chlorophyll degradation is a highly regulated process that underpins nutrient remobilisation and the visible yellowing of leaves, fruits and petals during senescence. This process follows the ...

Chlorophyll plays a pivotal role in photosynthesis, which is why plants have evolved to have high chlorophyll levels in their leaves. However, making this pigment is expensive because plants invest a ...

The vertical distribution of chlorophyll in the ocean reflects the balance between light availability, nutrient supply and physical mixing. At the surface, phytoplankton harness abundant light but ...
