Abstract
The chlorophyll composition and Hill activity of the leaf, developing seed parts and pod have been studied in three species of legumes, Lathyrus latifolius , Pisum sativum and Vicia faba . The studies indicate that in all the species, the level of chlorophyll, on mg/g fresh weight basis, is maximum in the leaf. However, Hill activity studies show that the cotyledonary chloroplasts in all the cases have a higher Hill activity than the leaf chloroplasts. Thus, the Hill activities of the cotyledonary chloroplasts are 340% of the leaf chloroplasts in Lathyrus latifolius , 144% of the leaf chloroplasts in Pisum sativum and 200% of the leaf chloroplasts in Vicia faba .
