Abstract
Protoplasts obtained enzymically from etiolated primary leaves of oat were illuminated in vitro, and the process of etioplast chloroplast transformation followed. Chloroplast development proceeded up to 6 hours of incubation in the light (20 C). During this period, complete photosynthetic light and dark reactions were constituted, in addition to prolamellar body-degrading protease activity.Keywords
