General Information
Term light-independent chlorophyll biosynthetic process ID (Ontology) GO:0036068 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of chlorophyll, any compound of magnesium complexed in a porphyrin (tetrapyrrole) ring and which functions as a photosynthetic pigment, from less complex precursors, which occur in the absence of light.[ PubMed:12242396 ]
Also Known As "light independent chlorophyll biosynthetic process" ; "light-independent chlorophyll anabolism" ; "light-independent chlorophyll biosynthesis" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
