title: Chloroplast fine structure in the japonica-2 maize mutant exposed to continuous illumination. 2. The white tissues.
abstract: Exposure to continuous illumination causes an enhancement of thylakoid swelling in the mesophyll chloroplasts of the white tissues of the japonica-2 maize mutant. In the bundle sheath plastids the effects of continuous illumination are striking and intriguing, because a regular honeycomb-like fret of membranes is formed from a provesicular body. No interpretation of this fret of membranes is, at present, possible.
