5-Aminolevulinic acid (10-5 M), a key precursor in chlorophyll biosynthetic pathway, stimulated chlorophyll accumulation in the dark grown black pine (Pinus nigra Arn.) seedlings and did not affect chlorophyll accumulation in the light.

Keywords: embryo; Pinus nigra
Subjects: 5-aminolevulinic acid, chlorophyll; black pine, chlorophyll; chlorophyll accumulation, aminolevulinic acid; Pinus nigra
