malfunction | MES16-deficient mutants (mes16) are still able to degrade chlorophyll, but they accumulate FCCs (fluorescent chlorophyll) and NCCs (nonfluorescent chlorophyll) catabolites with an intact C132-carboxymethyl group. As a consequence, FCC-to-NCC isomerization is compromised and the mutants accumulate large quantities of FCCs, which causes senescent leaves to fluoresce under UV light | Arabidopsis thaliana |
