chlorophyll - Opis:
- Yew is a coniferous, evergreen, dioecious species. The objective of the study was to present a comprehensive characteristic of changes occurring throughout the year in terms of the content of photosynthetic pigments and related compounds in the needles of yew, depending on the sex of individuals and age of needles. Eight compounds, particularly chlorophyll a (Chl a), chlorophyll b (Chl b), carotenoids (Car), protoporphyrin IX (PPIX), magnesium protoporphyrin IX (MgPPIX), protochlorophyllide (Pchlide), chlorophyllide a (Chlide a), and chlorophyllide b (Chlide b), were subjected to quantitative analysis. Based on the several parameters under study, significant differences between male and female individuals were observed, while most commonly, the largest differences were reported in the autumn and winter period. They were related to the content of Chl a, Chl b and Chl/Car ratio. The remaining compounds showed no significant differences according to the sex and were slightly different only in single periods. For all the studied parameters except for Chl/Car ratio, interaction between sampling dates and sex was not statistically significant. Significant differences between the needles of different age were observed only in terms of the content of Chl b, MgPPIX, Pchlide, Chlide b, and Chl a/b ratio, and these differences were always caused by the current-year needles.
