Chlorophyll Chlorosis can also be caused by pathogens including viruses, bacteria and fungal infections, or sap-sucking insects. Anthocyanins are other plant pigments. The absorbance pattern responsible for the red color of anthocyanins may be complementary to that of green chlorophyll in photosynthetically active tissues such as young "Quercus coccifera" leaves. It may protect the leaves from attacks by plant eaters that may be attracted by green color. The chlorophyll maps show milligrams of chlorophyll per cubic meter of seawater each month. Places where chlorophyll amounts were very low, indicating very low numbers of phytoplankton, are blue. Places where chlorophyll concentrations were
Chlorophyll f Chlorophyll f Chlorophyll "f" is a type form of chlorophyll that absorbs further in the red (infrared light) than other chlorophylls. In 2010, it was reported from stromatolites from Western Australia's Shark Bay. The finding was made by scientists at the University of Sydney led by Professor Min Chen, and is the first discovery of a new form of chlorophyll in 60 years. However, the function of chlorophyll "f" in photosynthetic reactions is uncertain and the ecological distribution of chlorophyll "f" remains unknown. Based on NMR data, optical and mass spectra and density functional theory (DFT) simulation, it is confirmed
