Abstract excerpt
The distribution of protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) and NADPH-Pchlide oxidoreductase (POR) was characterized in the epicotyls and roots of wild-type pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Alaska) and lip1, a mutant with light-independent photomorphogenesis caused by a mutation in the COP1 locus. The upper part of the dark-grown lip1 mutant epicotyls had a high Pchlide content that decreased downward the organ. The elevated...
