内容記述 | A new method for the mass isolation and purification of multigranular amyloplasts from the bundle sheath parenchyma of etiolated pa epicotyls was presented. These bodies, which displace within 2+3 minutes of exposure to 1 x g, are probably the gravity receptors (statoliths) in this plant. These amyloplasts were characterized as having a doublemembrane with a surface-localized ATPase, a high calcium content, and their own genomic DNA. These amyloplasts are investigated as to (a) the reasons for their especially high density, probable related to their starch content, (b) the possible identity of their DNA with the DNA of chloroplasts and unigranular amyloplasts, and (c) possible importance of their high calcium content. |
