Chlorophylls and carotenoids are belonging to the
photosynthetic pigments in chloroplasts of plants playing
central roles in light absorption and photoprotection.
Synthesis and degradation of photosynthetic pigments
(chlorophylls and carotenoids) have been mostly studied in
leaves during greening or senescence but not in mature
leaves. The question how much biosynthesis and degradation
of different photopigments occurs in photosynthesizing green
leaves is still open. In order to gain insight into
photopigment turnover of mature leaves we conducted
long-term 13CO2 labelling with peppermint (Mentha x
piperita) and analyzed the 13C/12C signature of chlorophylls
(Chls), carotenoids and tocopherols (Toc) by LC-MS and
FTICR-MS.Materials and Methods: Peppermint plants were
cultivated in a 13CO2 containing atmosphere for 34 d [1].
Hereupon they were transferred to ambient CO2 where samples
were collected from mature leaves over 7 days. Leave samples
from day 0, 1, 2 and 7 were extracted and analyzed by
LC-PDA-ESI(+)-MS using a C30 column. High resolved FTICR
mass spectra were obtained from some exemplary samples in
order to distinguish peaks of pigment isotopomers from those
of co‐eluting matrix compounds and to assign mass peaks to
distinct empirical formulae. The 13C degrees of labelling
(DoL) of various photopigments over time were determined
from the mass spectra. Additional MS/MS experiments were
performed to gain insight into the position of 13C in the
photopigment molecules. Results: The main photopigments in
peppermint extracts were Chls a and b, -Toc and the
xanthophylls lutein, zeaxanthin, antheraxanthin, neoxanthin
(Neo) and violaxanthin and finally -carotene (-Car).
While Chls and -Toc predominantly formed [M + H]+ adducts
in the positive ESI mode, [M]+ and [M + H – H2O]+ adducts
were additionally detected for carotenoids. After clearing
up the mass spectra from matrix compound derived peaks DoLs
were determined. Their time courses showed a high turnover
for Chl a and -Car, a lower non-linear decline in DoL for
xanthophylls but almost no change in the DoL for Neo. A
distinct maximum peak in the mass spectra of -Toc from
day 1 – 7 located between the extreme values for
non-labelling and full labelling indicated a recycling of
the phytol moiety during turnover of -Toc [2]. MS/MS
experiments supported this hypothesis. Further results
concerning turnover of Chls and xanthophylls will be also
presented and discussed in the biological context.New
