Abstract

Changes in the fine structure of bean chloroplasts after cycloheximide treatments are described. In greening etioplasts, and in young, not fully developed chloroplasts, cycloheximide causes considerable changes in the thylakoid system. Grana, in so far developed, are enlarged and bent; tubular complexes often appear. In fully developed chloroplasts some inter- thylakoid spaces appear as dark layers. After high concentrations of cycloheximide (0.1%) characteristic crystalloids appear in the plastid stroma.
