Abstract excerpt
RbcL and rbcS mRNA levels and plastid transcription activity are low in the basal meristematic region of barley primary leaves and increase coordinately during leaf cell development with a similar time course in dark-grown or illuminated seedlings. The capacity of light to cause cab mRNA accumulation shows a similar dependence on leaf cell development. These results indicate that the initial activation of...
