Cerium relieves the inhibition of chlorophyll biosynthesis of maize caused by magnesium deficiency (2011), Biol. Trace Elem. Res., 143, 468-477.

Application

EC Number	Application	Comment	Organism
2.5.1.62	agriculture	magnesium deficiency leads to decrease of chlorophyll contents in maize leaves, with concomitant decrease in the expression levels of magnesium chelatase, magnesium-protoporphyrin IX methyltransferase, and chlorophyll synthase. Magnesium deficiency significantly inhibits the transformation from coproporphyrinogen III or protoporphyrin IX to chlorophyll. Cerium addition significantly relieves the inhibition of chlorophyll biosynthesis in maize caused by magnesium deficiency and increases chlorophyll content	Zea mays
