Abstract
The breakdown of chlorophylls, carotenoids, and linolenic acid together with the formation of malondialdehyde and ethane was followed in isolated pea chloroplast membranes. Breakdown was enhanced by light, oxygen, D2O and rose bengal, but retarded by crocetin. The results are discussed in relationship to the role of singlet oxygen in promoting damage in vivo.Keywords
