Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Light induced chlorophyll synthesis.
- Intervention effect Light induced a prominent mRNA species coding for a Mr 29500 polypeptide.
- Observation The polypeptide was identified as a precursor of the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b apoprotein.
- Observation The precursor had Mr approximately 4000 greater than the authentic protein.
- Mechanism Induction of the mRNA was not directly linked to assembly of the light-harvesting structure.
- Mechanism Induction of that mRNA did not require chlorophyll b.
- Mechanism The authors proposed that light affects mRNA formation through a reaction distinct from protochlorophyllide phototransformation.
