Wild Type Control

Ultrastructural examination of a green-pigmented mutant of the red alga Palmaria palmata (L.) O. Kuntze revealed unusual features of the chloroplasts. Encircling peripheral thylakoids, characteristic of the wild-type plastids and florideophyte plastids generally, were lacking. Parallel evenly spaced thylakoids occurred in groups, leaving large volumes of thylakoid-free stroma. Irregularly shaped, electron-dense inclusions with an amorphous substructure and diameters up to 3 μm occurred in some plastids. Cells of the sporeling holdfasts contained structures resembling prolamellar bodies. Attempts to induce formation of prolamellar bodies in blades by dark treatment for 5 weeks were unsuccessful. However, some plastids did develop highly corrugated thylakoids with the crests of one thylakoid apposed to the troughs of the adjacent thylakoid. Thylakoid morphology of the wild-type control was not altered by the absence of light.

Etiolated Plants

Etioplasts aqueously isolated from leaves of etiolated plants of two varieties of Avena sativa contain all the flavonoid compounds of the whole leaf: apigenin-7-methoxy (?)-8-C-rhamnosylglucosylgly (u) coside (or -8-C-glucosylrhamnosylgly (u) coside), apigenin-6-C-arabinosylglucoside, apigenin-8-C-glucosylglucoside and in variety 1 a derivative of kaempferol, in variety 2 the flavone-C-glycoside saponaretin. The distribution of these compounds however is different in etioplasts and leaves: in etioplasts of variety 1 the kaempferol-derivative, in those of variety 2 saponaretin is relatively enriched. Presence of flavonoids could also be demonstrated in isolated prolamellar bodies from etioplasts of Avena variety 2.
