PORPHYRIN METABOLISM IN PEANUT CELLS CULTURED IN SUCROSE CONTAINING MEDIUM |
| Author: | R.B. van Huystee |
| Abstract:
Peanut cells grown in suspension are achlorophyllous while the calli from which they were derived are green. Cells habituated in a medium containing sucrose could not be induced to revert to chlorophyll synthesis. Treatments to induce chlorophyll synthesis were: culture in glucose, and/or in presence of  dipyridyl, or in darkness.
A loss of chloroplast ribosomes was observed in the cells.
