Abstract excerpt
Biogenesis of the ultrastructure of the eyespot in the chloroplasts of unicellular green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has been studied. We have found that the development of the structure of the eyespot correlates with the accumulation of carotenoids. Depending on their accumulation, the eyespots form from 1 to 4 lines of lipid-carotenoid globules. It has been shown that only carotenes are accumulated in the...
