Transformation of Plastids in Young Carrot Callus
Mercedes Wrischer
; Hrvatska
Abstract
Ultrastructural changes, appearing during the transformation of the plastids in young callus cells of carrot roots, are described. Chromoplasts divide, and during these divisions transform successively into proplastids, which after a few days of exposure to light differentiate into chloroplasts. These plastid transformations do not seem to be dependent on the composition of the nutrient medium on which the root slices are kept.
