| Abstract: | Mitochondria have been found in invaginations, most of which were very deep and were normally situated near the periphery of chloroplasts in the bundle sheath of Zea mays and in Hyptis suaveolens mesophyll. They were present only in plants grown under low light intensities (0.16 and < 0.3 mW · cm−2 respectively) and on transfer of the Zea mays plants to a higher light intensity (5 mW · cm−2) the mitochondria disappeared from the invaginations. Some of the implications of these observations are discussed. |
