| Tetrahydrogeranylgeraniol, a Precursor of Phytol in the Biosynthesis of Chlorophyll a — Localization of the Double Bonds  | | | Abstract
| Pheophytins esterified with phytol and tetrahydrogeranylgeraniol are isolated from etiolated oat seedlings after short (1 min) exposure to light and a subsequent dark period of 15 to 20 min. After saponification of the pheophytins, a mixture of the alcohols was isolated. The structure of tetra hydrogeranylgeraniol was established as 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-zl2'14 hexadecadiene-l-ol (3a). The implications for chlorophyll biosynthesis are discussed. | | |

| Some Observations on the Saponin Accumulation in Oat Seedlings and on the Transformation of the Avenacosides to the Antibiotic 26-Desgluco-avenacosides  | | | Abstract
| The accumulation o f the steroidal saponins avenacoside A and B in oat was investigated in green and etiolated seedlings and was found to be strictly bound to the growth o f the seedlings. N o significant differences were detected between green and etiolated seedlings, showing that there is no relation between saponin accumulation and plastid developm ent. As the role o f the oat saponins has to be seen as a protective device against fungi and bacteria, the transformation o f the inactive avenacosides to their corresponding antibiotic 26-desgluco-avenacosides was tested in dependence o f pH and temperature. During disruption o f leaves, transformation occurs almost com pletely over a wide pH-range (pH 4 —pH 10); the degree o f transformation exhibits no distinct temperature optimum but a drastic decrease at 70 °C. | | |

| Topography of the Phytochrome Molecule as Determined from Chemical Modification of SH-Groups  | | | Abstract
| 124 kDa phytochrome has been isolated from etiolated oat seedlings. Specific chemical modifi-cation of SH-groups has been performed using several agents, especially mercurials. These proce-dures allowed covalent fluorescence labelling of phytochrome. Bleaching of the tetrapyrrole chromophore and reduced photoreversibility has been investigated and analyzed in terms of steric effects, i.e. size of the reagents and number of modified residues. The Pr form was found to exhibit two highly reactive SH-groups, the Pfr form three, however. Two highly reactive groups have been localized on the 55 kDa C-terminal half of the protein. The 3rd group predominantly reacting in the Pfr form has been localized on a 39 kDa chromopeptide, i.e. on the N-terminal half. The covalently attached fluoresceine chromophores were used as reporter groups. The envi-ronment of the fluoresceine chromophore is more hydrophobic in the Pfr form than in the Pr form, indicating that conformational changes take place during photoconversion. | | |
