Influence of kinetin on storage protein mobilization and ultrastructure of plastids in excised lupine cotyledons grown in darkness
Storage protein disappeared first from the peripheral and later from central parts of the lupine cotyledon. Kinetin (500 μM) stimulated this process; its effect was most prominent after longer times of incubation. In plastids large, crystalline prolamellar bodies were observed. They some-times split...

| Summary: | Storage protein disappeared first from the peripheral and later from central parts of the lupine cotyledon. Kinetin (500 μM) stimulated this process; its effect was most prominent after longer times of incubation. In plastids large, crystalline prolamellar bodies were observed. They some-times split into smaller parts during the course of the experiment, especially in the kinetin-treated material. Kinetin in darkness did not stimulate formation of thylakoid membranes (neither grana nor primary lamellae). |
