title: Expression of genes for plastid membrane proteins in barley under intermittent light conditions.
abstract: Barley plants grown under intermittent light show a plastid membrane composition intermediate between those of etioplasts and chloroplasts. In particular protochlorophyll reductase disappears from the membranes whereas the 32000 protein, coded for by chloroplast DNA, becomes integrated into the membranes. The light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein does not accumulate within the membranes even after 11 d of development, while the corresponding mRNA can already be observed after 4 d and is translated under in vivo conditions.
