The Development of Chloroplast Structure During Leaf Ontogeny

J. Kutík1
1 Department of Plant Physiology, Faculty of Sciences, Charles University, Praha 2, Czech Republic

Advances achieved during last fifteen years in the understanding the development of chloroplast ultrastructure during natural leaf ontogeny are summarized. Life span of a typical C3 mesophyll cell chloroplast is outlined and placed into the scheme of cyclic plastid interrelationships. Possible modifications of this development by stresses, environmental factors or experimental treatments are also shown.

Additional key words: environmental effects; leaf life span; stresses
