Abstract

An experimental design developed usingAcetabularia permits a novel approach to studies of cytoplasmic genetic functions. The site of the genes for the enzymes of the plastid pigment pathways were examined by 1. determining pigment content per cell and per chloroplast in intact cells and during long periods of enucleate cell growth, 2. comparing pigment synthetic activities of plastids isolated from intact and enucleate cells at various times postenucleation and 3. comparing the ability of intact and enucleate cells to modulate pigment content in response to various light regimens.
