This work will pursue earlier findings by this laboratory on                    several heretofore unknown chemical species of chlorophyll.                     These newly described chlorophylls suggest different pathways                   for greening in higher plants.  Now that the new compounds                      have been described, the enzymes responsible for forming them                   will be isolated and characterized.  Then the regulation of                     the pathway and its enzymes can be determined.%%%                                                                                                               Chlorophyll catalyzes the conversion of solar energy to                         chemical energy via the process of photosynthesis.  Without                     photosynthesis, organic life is not possible in the                             biosphere.  It now appears that different Chl chemical                          species have different functions in photosynthesis and are                      formed via different biosynthetic routes.  A full                               understanding of the biochemistry of the various Chl chemical                   species is mandatory for a thorough understanding of                            photosynthesis.***//
