Characteristics of a virescent cotton mutant.
The virescent cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) mutant described here differs from normal cultivated cotton by a single mutation in the nucleus. The mutant exhibits nuclear control of chlorophyll and carotenoid development. Young leaves are distinctly yellow and become green with age. There is no unusual photometabolism of (14)CO(2) or (14)C-acetate in this mutant. It is probable that the nuclear vir...
متن کاملHigh photosynthetic rate of a chlorophyll mutant of cotton.
In a chlorophyll mutant (virescent) and wild-type cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), a number of photosynthetic parameters have been measured and compared with those published for other chlorophyll mutants. (a) The photosynthetic rates at 230 w/m(2) (400-700 nm) from a tungsten lamp were 36.8 mg CO(2) fixed/dm(2).hr (virescent) and 39.5 mg CO(2) fixed/dm(2).hr (wild-type). On a chlorphyll basis, t...
متن کاملChloroplast Ultrastructure in Mutant Strains of Chlamydomonas reinhardi Lacking Components of the Photosynthetic Apparatus.
The fine structure of the chloroplast of wild-type and 9 photosynthetic mutant strains of Chlamydomonas reinhardi is described. The chloroplast phenotypes of the mutant strains are clearly distinct from the wild type in all but 2 cases. Moreover, strains with similar photosynthetic disabilities have structurally similar chloroplasts. These differences are apparently not the result of altered ch...
متن کاملPhotosynthetic rate control in cotton : photorespiration.
The purpose of this research was to determine the magnitude of photorespiration in field-grown cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) as a function of environmental and plant-related factors. Photorespiration rates were estimated as the difference between measured gross and net photosynthetic rates.A linear increase in photorespiration was observed as air temperature increased from 22 to 40 degrees C a...
متن کاملPhotosynthetic Properties of ac-31, a Mutant Strain of Chlamydomonas reinhardi Devoid of Chloroplast Membrane Stacking.
A pale-green mutant strain of Chlamydomonas reinhardi, ac-31, is characterized by the absence of any stacking of its chloroplast membranes. The capacity for photosynthetic electron transport, phosphorylation, and CO(2) fixation in ac-31 is substantial, and it is concluded that these photosynthetic activities occur within the single membrane. The photosynthetic capacities of wild type and ac-31 ...
