Journal ArticleDOI
Determinations of total carotenoids and chlorophylls a and b of leaf extracts in different solvents
TL;DR: Pfister et al. as mentioned in this paper used a t.1.c. method (Lichtenthaler 8t Pfister, 1978) that permits a distinct separation of the two chlorophylls and also the major carotenoids using light petroleum (b.p. 40-6O0C)/dioxane/propan-2-ol (7 :3 : 1, by vol.) as a developing solvent.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Spectral Determination of Chlorophylls a and b, as well as Total Carotenoids, Using Various Solvents with Spectrophotometers of Different Resolution*
TL;DR: In this paper, specific absorption coefficients for individual carotenoids and chlorophylls a and b, as well as the E 1% 1cm values for combined carotensoids, have been (re)estimated using 6 solvents (80 % acetone, chloroform, diethyl ether, dimethyl formamide and methanol) using two different types of spectrophotometer (0.1-0.5 nm and 1-4 nm band pass resolution).
Book ChapterDOI
Formulae and Program to Determine Total Carotenoids and Chlorophylls A and B of Leaf Extracts in Different Solvents
TL;DR: In this paper, Holden et al. developed an equation for the determination of total chlorophyll and individual amounts of chlorophyLLs a and b in extracts from plant tissues, and some of them (e.g. Arnon 1949) have been widely used.

TL;DR: It is suggested that γ-ECS–transformed plants suffered continuous oxidative damage caused by a failure of the redox-sensing process in the chloroplast.
