1875 Jrnl. Bot., Brit. & Foreign 13 115 The chromule of etiolated leaves, which the author [sc. N. Pringsheim] proposes to call Etiolin, gives a spectrum nearly identical with that of chlorophyll, only differing as to the amount of absorption in the places corresponding to the chlorophyll bands.
1907 F. E. Clements Plant Physiol. & Ecol. iv. 80 An examination of the plastids [of dark-grown plants] shows that they are more or less of a yellow color, due to the presence of a pigment called etiolin.
1937 Plant Physiol. 12 885 Pringsheim made similar studies in 1874 and concluded that a special pigment was present which he called ‘etiolin’. This substance seems to be identical with protochlorophyll.
