Abstract
We determined hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen isotopic compositions of chlorophylls a and b isolated from leaves of five C3 higher plant species (Benthamidia japonica, Prunus japonica, Acer carpinifolium, Acer argutum and Querus mongloica), and hydrogen and carbon isotopic compositions of phytol and chlorophyllides in the chlorophylls to understand isotopic fractionations associated with chlorophyll biosynthesis in these species.
