Abstract

Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Bernhard Kräutler at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. The image depicts the autumnal "disappearance" of chlorophyll and the ensuing rapid formation of colorless phyllobilins. Read the full text of the article at 10.1002/chem.201404783.
