Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Chloroplast number per cell increased logarithmically over seven days.
- Intervention effect Cytokinins did not affect chloroplast replication.
- Intervention effect Cytokinins stimulated fresh-weight growth of discs.
- Association Chloroplast replication was optimal at 25 °C.
- Association Chloroplast size was maximal at 12 °C.
- Intervention effect Light stimulated chloroplast replication.
- Association Chloroplast number rose linearly with daily light to a saturation of 250 J d−1.
- Intervention effect Daylength did not affect chloroplast formation.
- Association Chloroplast number and cell size were generally related, without evidence of causality.
- Association Events preceding replication may progress at similar rates in light and dark.
