- Intervention effect Cystine removed tubular clusters in mature mutant fronds, and organelles appeared normal.
- Intervention effect Methionine produced a similar but weaker structural improvement.
- Observation Ten percent of young mutant chloroplasts retained clusters with cystine.
- Observation Fifty percent of young mutant chloroplasts retained clusters with methionine.
- Intervention effect Cystine enlarged starch inclusions in wild type chloroplasts.
- Intervention effect Methionine improved relative growth rates in both strains.
- Observation Mutant growth rates reached wild type control levels.
- Observation Structural recovery did not restore photosynthesis.
- Observation Structural recovery did not restore ammonium uptake.
- Observation Ammonium ions exited recovered mutant plants during the first day.
- Observation Wild strain ammonium uptake increased.
