Plant Physiology 71:777-779 (1983) © 1983 American Society of Plant Biologists Pigment Analysis of Chloroplast Pigment-Protein Complexes in WheatNorthern Regional Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture, Peoria, Illinois 61604, Department of Botany, North Dakota State University, Fargo, North Dakota 58102 Pigment-protein complexes separated from wheat (Triticum aestivum L. selection ND96-25 by two gel electrophoresis techniques were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography for chlorophylls and carotenoids. The two techniques are compared, and pigment analyses are given for the major reaction centers and light-harvesting complexes. Reaction centers contain mostly chlorophyll a, carotene, and lutein, whereas light-harvesting complexes contain chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, lutein, and neoxanthin. The amounts of violaxanthin are variable.
