Abstract
An unusual viridis SP25 mutant of Nicotiana tabacum was selected by a mutagenic treatment of seeds with ethyl methyl sulfonate (Dulieu, 1981). The green leaf of SP25 mutant showed no variation among the plastid membranous polypeptides but no Fraction I (RUBPC) could be detected by gel electrophoresis technique in the soluble protein phase. The present report describes growth characteristics, pigment content, plastid ultrastructure and photochemical activity of in vitro cell suspension cultures derived from homogeneous leaf tissue of SP25 mutant. The study of the enzymatic reduction of NO− 3 related to cellular reduction power was also performed in different growth conditions.
