Accession: TO:0000495
Name: chlorophyll content
Ontology: plant_trait_ontology
Synonyms: CHLCN (related)
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: A pigment content trait (TO:0000494) which is a measure of the chlorophyll a and/or chlorophyll b content in a plant structure (PO:0009011). Source: Gramene:pankaj_jaiswal, TO:Laurel_Cooper
Comment: Chlorophyll is the principal photoreceptor in photosynthesis, the light-driven process in which carbon dioxide is fixed to yield carbohydrates and oxygen. Chlorophyll is a cyclic tetrapyrolle, similar in structure to the heme group of globins (hemoglobin, myoglobin) and cytochromes. Chlorophyll differs from heme in a few major respects, most notably that the central metal ion in chlorophyll is magnesium while that in heme is iron.
