Research Directions

  • Ecological role of chlorophylls: All three humic substances, despite their soil sources, stimulate the activities of both chlorophyllase a and b. It is suggested that humic substances in the soil may accelerate the chlorophyll degradation of litter in the ecosystem and that chlorophyllase a and b may be different enzymes.
  • Relationship between chlorophyll and satellite remote sensing: The polarity of chlorophylls or carotenoids is significantly correlated to satellite NDVI. Chlorophylls without phytol chains, also called dephytylated pigments, such as PPIX, MGPP, Pchlide, Chlide a and Chlide b, are more polar and located in the stroma. Chlorophylls containing phytol chain, also named phytylated pigments, such as Chl a, Chl b, Phe a and Phe b, are less polar or nonpolar and situated in the thylakoid membrane. The less polar CRCs attribute more than the more polar CRCs to the satellite NDVI.
  • Ecophysiology of galls: Two kinds of cecidomyiid galls on Machilus thunbergii leaves were totally deficient in the pigment-protein complexes, throughout the entire period of gall formation. In addition, the fluorescence and reflectance analyses suggested that insect infestations reduce photosynthetic efficiency. Moreover, there were highly significant and positive relationships between Fv/Fm and both the photosynthetic reflectance index and the cold hard band, indicating that gall infections induced physiological changes that were detected using both reflectance spectra and fluorescence.
