Comparison of the etioplast of a leaf segment of a control seedling grown in complete darkness before and after greening (IMAGE)
Caption
Comparison of the etioplast of a leaf segment of a control seedling grown in complete darkness before (left image) and after greening. The middle image shows a young chloroplast developed from the etioplast after 16 h of illumination of the dark-grown leaves in control (Hoagland) solution, while the right image shows the non-greened peculiar etioplast with swollen inner membranes (black asterisk) after 16 h of illumination in saline solution (600 mM NaNO3, dissolved in Hoagland solution). The black arrows indicate the envelop membrane surrounding the plastids and thus their outlines. Line: 1 micrometre.
