Chlorophyll b is the class of chlorophyll pigment present in higher plants, green macroalgae and cyanobacteria.
In cyanobacteria, chlorophyll b could be the predominant photosynthetic pigment in photosystem II.
The structural difference between chlorophyll a and b is the presence of the aldehyde group at the porphyrin
ring structure.
In terrestrial plants, chlorophyll b that bound to antenna proteins act in a complementary manner to chlorophyll a
in the absorption of light of broader wavelength, thus leading to efficient absorption of solar radiation.
Maximal absorption of light by chlorophyll b happens at 626 nm and 392 nm.
Chlorophyll b content in the plant influences plant signalling related to plant growth and abscisic acid biosynthesis.
Fine quality green tea production requires the tea plants to be grown under shade. Measuring chlorophyll a and b can be
used to choose the right shading processes for green tea leaves production. Similarly, the shading process for the
effective intercropping system can be evaluated by quantifying chlorophyll a and b content in the crops.

Celignis to Sponsor and Present at Major Biochar Event
The event takes place on May 3rd at Carrick-on-Shannon
We are pleased to announce that, on May 3rd, Celignis will be presenting and exhibiting at the National Biochar and Carbon Products Conference 2023, which is taking place in Carrick-on-Shannon in County Leitrm, Ireland.
This conference is being organised under the auspices of the Interreg Northwest Europe-funded THREE C Project, entitled 'Creating and sustaining Charcoal value chains to promote a Circular Carbon economy in NWE Europe'.
The conference will highlight both Irish stakeholders who are currently working in the biochar and carbon products sector, but also partners from the THREE C project (covering Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Belgium, France and Wales, as well as Ireland) who have interesting stories and products to share.

For a short period we are offering two TGA analyses for the price of one!
To celebrate the arrival of our thermogravimetric (TGA) equipment, we are offering, for a limited time period, two TGA analyses for the price of one. Click here to read more about TGA analyses at Celignis and to see the various packages on offer.
To avail of this special offer please mention the code (TGA-AUGUST) in an email or when placing an order via the Celignis Database.
This 5 minute presentation was given at the recent IBioIC conference
Celignis recently exhibited at IBioiC's annual conference, held in Glasgow on June 6-7.
During that event Lalitha, Celignis's CIO, gave a short 5 minute presentation on the EnXylaScope collaborative EU research project that Celignis is involved in.
