Abstract: | It was found that light accelerates the swelling of spinachchloroplasts suspended in a solution containing NaCl and Tris-HCl,and that, in about 60 min, the swollen chloroplasts begin toshrink rapidly. The volume of chloroplasts reached, on swelling,270 per cent of the original volume on the average and thenshrank to 17 per cent. The rate of swelling and the maximumvolume were affected markedly by the tonicity of NaCl. NH4Cldid not affect the volume changes, while phenazine methosulfateaccelerated the swelling remarkably. The relationship betweenphotoshrinkage and this light-induced high-amplitude swellingwas discussed. (Received April 2, 1966; ) |
