Abstract
Ammonium toxicity resulted in morphological modifications of tomato leaf chloroplasts. The chloroplasts, which are normally flattened around the protoplast periphery, became ellipsoidally rounded and dispersed through the protoplasm. The first apparent effect of plastid degradation was development of many vesicles from the fretwork. Later the grana lamellae swelled, and some disappeared. Eventually, distinct grana could not be detected.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
