Chloroplast fine structure in the japonica-2 maize mutant exposed to continuous illumination 2 The white tissues

Rascio, N.

Chloroplast fine structure in the japonica-2 maize mutant exposed to continuous illumination 2 The white tissues - United Kingdom ; Cambridge University Press, 1976.

Exposure to continuous illumination causes an enhancement of thylakoid swelling in the mesophyll chloroplasts of the white tissues of the japonica-2 maize mutant. In the bundle sheath plastids the
effects of continuous illumination are striking and intriguing, because a regular honeycomb-Iike fret of membranes is formed from a provesicular body. No interpretation of this fret of membranes is, at present, possible.
