Abstract
Development of mesophyll and bundle sheath chloroplasts was investigated, in etiolated maize leaves illuminated for different periods. Chlorophyll content, thylakoid formation and stacking, Hill-activity, P-700 concentration and low temperature fluorescence were studied in the course of greening. Some slight differences between mesophyll and bundle sheat chloroplasts become apparent soon after the onset of greening but in a definite stage of development (12–24 h, 10–20% of the maximum chlorophyll content) explicit divergence can be observed. As a result, structural organization of bundle sheath thylakoids lags behind those of the mesophyll chloroplasts.
