RESUMO

Chlorophyll-deficient barley (Hordeum vulgare) mutants were studied that had chlorophyll a/b ratios either higher or lower than the wild type. Mutants with high ratios (>5.2) had a reduced proportion of their photosynthetic lamellae appressed into grana (“grana-deficient” mutants) compared with wild type (chlorophyll a/b = 3.2), while the majority of lamellae in the chloroplasts with low chlorophyll a/b ratios (2.0-2.4) were organized into grana (“grana-rich” mutants).
