Light-induced Volume Changes in Spinach Chloroplasts
A light-dependent mechanism that results in a slow, high-amplitude swelling of spinach chloroplasts in vitro has been discovered. The swelling is readily observed by optical and gravimetric methods, and by the use of an electronic particle counter; all show a 100 per cent increase of chloroplast volume in the light with an approximately 10-minute half-time. The existence of an osmotic mechanism...
متن کاملLight-induced transformation of amyloplasts into chloroplasts in potato tubers.
The transformation of amyloplast into chloroplasts in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber tissue can be induced by light. Excised potato tuber discs illuminated with white light of 3000 lux began to synthesize chlorophyll after a lag period of 1 day, and continued to synthesize chlorophyll for 3 weeks. In this paper we present evidence, based on ultracentrifugal sedimentation and immunoprecipit...
متن کاملEvidence for ligand-induced paramagnetism in CdSe quantum dots.
We report evidence that paramagnetism in CdSe QDs can be induced via manipulation of the surface chemistry. Using SQUID magnetometry and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, we demonstrate that the paramagnetic behavior of the CdSe QDs can be varied by changing the ligand end-group functionality of the passivating layer. Contrary to previous reports, no evidence for ferromagnetism was observed. The r...
متن کاملLight-Dependent Ion Translocation in Spinach Chloroplasts.
The absorption of light by chloroplasts is the first step for several energy-requiring systems such as ATP synthesis and CO, fixation. Recently. it has been found that light can alter the structure and volume of the chloroplast (7, 15, 17, 26). Therefore the question was raised whether light could affect ion movements in isolated chloroplasts under conditions where structural changes occur. Thi...
متن کاملLight-induced Changes in the Ultrastructure of Pea Chloroplasts in Vivo: Relationship to Development and Photosynthesis.
Light-induced structural changes of chloroplasts and their lamellae were studied in leaves of Pisum sativum L., cv. Blue Bantam, using electron microscopy. Upon illumination of 14-day-old plants with 2000 lux, the chloroplasts decreased in thickness by about 23% with an accompanying increase in electron scattering by the stroma. Concomitantly, the average thickness of granal lamellae (thylakoid...
