Protochlorophyllide reduction - what is new in 2005?

Because the transformation of protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) to chlorophyllide (Chlide) is an irradiation-dependent process, it is at the heart of the photosynthetic membrane biogenesis, turnover, and adaptation to changes of the environment. I review here the new data published during the year 2004 on Pchlide reduction to Chlide.

Additional key words: irradiation; temperature
