Genetic analysis of the content of light-harvesting complexes of thylakoid membranes was accomplished for the first time during the study of intraspecific variation in photosynthetic characteristics. The existence of genetically determined differences between genotypes together with positive heterosis in F1 generation was demonstrated.

Additional key words: genetic analysis; heterosis; intraspecific variation
