Abstract: | In a previous work the development of photosystem II activity during the greening process of the y-1 mutant of Chlamydomonas reinhardi was studied (Cahen, Malkin, Shochat, Ohad. Plant Physiol 58: 257-267). Measurements of quantum yield, maximal rate of electron transfer, flash yield, and fluorescence induction indicated that photosystem II development consists of two partially overlapping phases: (a) reorganization and integration of preexisting units; and (b) addition of newly formed units to the growing membranes. |
