Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Illuminated potato microtubers green within a few days, with initial changes by 12 hours.
- Intervention effect Illumination increased chlorophyll and carotenoid concentrations in potato microtubers.
- Observation Illumination changed protein patterns and transformed potato amyloplasts and leucoplasts into chloroplasts.
- Intervention effect Amitrole inhibited carotenoid synthesis in illuminated potato microtubers.
- Intervention effect Norflurazon inhibited carotenoid synthesis in illuminated potato microtubers.
- Intervention effect Amitrole delayed potato microtuber greening until four days after illumination.
- Intervention effect Amitrole delayed LHC II detection until the seventh day of light.
- Intervention effect Norflurazon kept potato microtuber tissues yellowish throughout the experiment.
- Intervention effect Norflurazon prevented detectable LHC II after seven days of light.
- Observation Norflurazon-treated plastids were damaged, small, lacked normal thylakoids and had numerous plastoglobules.
