These are chlorophyll's shy cousins, the yellow pigment xanthophyll and the red-orange carotene. |
Remove both chlorophyll and the yellow pigment xanthophyll and the variegation is white. |
Concentrations of total carotenoids and total xanthophyll were greater for plants grown at low temperature. |
Chlorophyll is in fact supported by accessory pigments, such as carotenes and xanthophylls. |
Large amounts of the two xanthophylls, lutein and zeaxanthin, are accumulated in the yellow spot of the human retina. |
Algae also have pigments such as carotenoids, xanthophylls and the phycocyanin providing coloring and play an important biochemical role. |
