Other claims from this paper (12)
- Association Narrow-leaf maize selections differed from wide-leaf selections in chlorophyll content.
- Association Narrow- and wide-leaf selections had similar in vitro rates of ferricyanide reduction and noncyclic photophosphorylation.
- Association Narrow- and wide-leaf selections had similar chloroplast protein levels and net CO2 fixation per mg chlorophyll across three light intensities.
- Association Golden had at least as efficient a photosynthetic system as Normal.
- Association Low-stalk-volume selections had 13% higher ferricyanide reduction and noncyclic photophosphorylation rates than high-stalk-volume selections.
- Association Golden had 23% higher ferricyanide reduction and noncyclic photophosphorylation rates than Normal.
- Observation Information from in vitro measures was contradictory to information from other sources.
- Observation Genetically controlled differences in chloroplast protein relative to chlorophyll level were found.
- Association Total chloroplast protein and the NaOH-removed fraction are highly correlated with ferricyanide reduction rates.
- Association TCP and CPF levels reflected seasonal effects.
- Association Differences in protein levels between genotypes remained relatively consistent.
- Recommendation The TCP measure is proposed for population genetic studies to test the value of chloroplast photochemical properties as selection criteria.
