The Determination o f Prolamellar Bodies and Saponins in Etioplasts and Leaves o f A vena sativa L

چکیده
Etioplasts, Prolamellar Bodies, Saponins, Chromatography Prolamellar body tubules in etioplasts are composed mainly of two saponins. The determination of these saponins in leaves, etioplasts or subfractions of etioplasts is re commended to evaluate the concentration of these tubules in a given fraction. Using a densitometer after TLC-separation of the saponins measurements are carried out in a short time with high accurancy. Also the absolute concen tration of these saponins can be determined. Problems in the quantification of the saponins in leaf samples can be overcame with filters of different wavelengths.

متن کاملRed Light Induced Change in the Saponin Content of Prolamellar Bodies in A vena sativa
Etioplast, Protochlorophyllide, Prolamellar Body, Saponin, Red Light Exposure to red light of high intensities leads to saponin and prolamellar body degradation in etiolated Avena sativa seedlings. Exposure to red light of low intensities increases the saponin percentage found in prolamellar bodies without changing the overall saponin content. Proto chlorophyllide is assumed to act a decisive ...

Prolamellar Bodies, Thylakoids, Chlorophylls Etioplast membranes were fractionated into enriched prothylakoid (PT) and prolamellar body fraction (PLB) by known procedures [2]. The photoconversion of Protochlide to Chlide was 77% in the PT fraction but only 65% in the PLB fraction with optimum NADPH concentrations. The subsequent esterification reaction proceeds in both fractions indicating that...
متن کاملLocalization of Galactolipid Biosynthesis in Etioplasts Isolated from Dark-Grown Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).
Etioplasts were isolated from leaves of dark-grown wheat (Triticum aestivum L. var Starke II). Galactolipid biosynthesis was assayed in an envelope-rich fraction and in the fraction containing the rest of the etioplast membranes by measuring incorporation of (14)C from uridine-diphospho[(14)C]galactose into monogalactosyl diacylglycerol and digalactosyl diacylglycerol. More than half of the gal...
متن کاملRed-light stimulation of prolamellar body recrystallization and thylakoid formation in barley etioplasts.
The etioplasts of fully dark-grown barley leaves exhibit a relatively low frequency of crystalline prolamellar bodies (ca. 16-20%). Brief red-light treatment leads to rapid disruption of all prolamellar bodies followed by a slow reformation in the subsequent dark period. When several red-light treatments are given with intervening 3-h dark periods, a marked increase in the proportion of crystal...
